North : finding my way while running the Appalachian Trail

Jurek, Scott, 1973-2018
Books, Manuscripts
Scott Jurek is one of the greatest ultramarathon runners of all time and a living legend. 'North' tells the story of his biggest challenge, undertaken at the end of a career full of glittering achievements: breaking the speed record for the Appalachian Trail, the famous path that runs for nearly 2,200 miles between Georgia and Maine, almost the entire length of the United States. An ordeal of torturous physical exertion, debilitating sleep deprivation and unimaginable psychological pressure, the run required Jurek to reinvent himself at an age when lesser athletes would have been winding down.
