Out of Scott Jurek’s childhood, came a quote from his father, “ Sometimes you just do things“, which he has used to keep going when things get tough and everything else tells you to stop. Sometimes I wonder if you need to have grown up with trauma or hardship to become a champion, which was a question that Adharanand Finn also brought up in The rise of the ultra runners. Learning about Scott Jurek’s childhood was mind opening.
This was definitely the case for this book, and several of the quotes still resonate on my mind. I think of them in my own runs and pull a bit of strength from them. They also have a lot of learnings that I can transcribe to my personal life, even when the author feels like they live a quite different life than I do. I tend to really enjoy memoirs as I find them inspiring and motivating.
