Eat & Run: My Unlikely Journey to Ultramarathon Greatness

the style is intermittently interesting or pretty, to me, but on the whole feels forcefully simplified and gets repetitive. Jurek's an amazing runner, obviously, and it's nice to pick up some advice on what vegan runners eat when i'm trying to be a runner again, and i'm vegan too. he does frequently come off as self-aggrandizing and haughty about his diet and accomplishments compared to his peers. i won't judge his personal life, but there are some odd aspects about the way he decided to talk about particular parts of it (his ex-wife and Dusty).

it's one of those books where once you've read 10% of it you've encountered all the author will do, really, and the rest is just repeating whatever their formula is. if you're interested enough and can get through i quickly enough, it's worth a beach/bed read.
