This phrase seems to have turned from a negative thing into a bit of a mantra for Scott when the going got hard in his running and also his life. He would often say “sometimes you just do things” when Scott would ask why he had to do a certain task. His dad was ex-military and carried through the discipline with his family. He is very open about his feeling about his parents at various times and on more than one time, apologises before he states something not too positive about a particular time. He talks a fair amount though not excessively, about his difficult childhood which he really believes formed him into the tough, ‘never give up’ character that helps make him such a successful runner. Scott has a very easy reading and engaging style which had me reaching for it every opportunity. So with his diet and his race results in mind, I had high hopes for this book. The book is littered with his own vegan recipes for some of his favourite vegan fare. I am far from vegan, or even vegetarian, but my meat consumption is very low and I really appreciate good vegetarian/vegan food. He also loves to prepare his vegan food too and this also interests me. I always thought he sounded like an interesting chap. Scott has achieved some incredible race results and all on a vegan diet.
When I read about Scott Jureks book, I was interested.
I want either an incredible story told by the person who lived through it or I want something a little different. Some just don’t really appeal for some reason. Written by Neil Bryant - I like to read, but I won’t claim to have read all the ultra running books that are kicking around at the moment.
