In Eat and Run, Jurek opens up about his life and career as an elite athlete, and about the vegan diet that is key to his success. From his Midwestern childhood of hunting and fishing to his slow transition to ultrarunning and veganism, to his epic, record-breaking races, Jurek's story shows the power of an iron will and the importance of thinking of food as fuel. Full of stories of endurance and competition as well as practical advice and some of his original recipes, Eat and Run will motivate people to go the distance, whether that means getting out for a first run.
Endure by Alex Hutchinson, Ph.D., reveals why our individual limits may be determined as much by our head and heart, as by our muscles. He presents an overview of science’s search for understanding human fatigue, from crude experiments with electricity and frogs’ legs to sophisticated brain imaging technology. Going beyond the traditional mechanical view of human limits, Hutchinson suggests that a key element in endurance is how the brain responds to distress signals, offering readers a fresh lens on pushing through barriers.
The Rise of Superman surveys how action and adventure sports have expanded the possible for a whole generation. Right now, more people are risking their lives for their sports than ever before in history. As Thomas Pynchon once wrote in Gravity's Rainbow, "it is not often that Death is told so clearly to f@%* off." Over the past three decades, the bounds of the possible in sports—from sky-diving to motocross to surfing and beyond—have been pushed farther and faster. A generation's worth of iconoclastic misfits have rewritten the rules of the feasible; not just raising the bar, but obliterating it altogether. Along the way, they have become a force pushing evolution relentlessly onward.
Whether you’re gifting a timeless keepsake or building a rich reading habit, this collection offers inspiration, practical strategies, and memorable stories that resonate beyond the page. It’s the perfect addition to any book collection or classroom library, and a thoughtful gift for runners, sports fans, and dreamers alike.
