Scott Jurek is one of the world's best known and most beloved ultrarunners. Now, in NORTH, Jurek recounts his 2015 journey to discover something new about himself through a wholly unique challenge: breaking the speed record for the Appalachian Trail. Unlike the raw application of willpower that defined him for two decades, Scott's AT run (during which he had to run approximately 50 miles every day) required him to reinvent himself at just the time in his career when he might have otherwise been winding down.
