In 'North,' One Ultramarathoner Takes On The Appalachian Trail — And Himself
On July 12, 2015, ultramarathoner Scott Jurek broke the speed record for running the Appalachian Trail, navigating 2,189 miles — from Georgia to Maine — in 46 days, 8 hours and 7 minutes. An enthusiastic crowd of well-wishers greeted him at the top of Maine’s Mount Katahdin.
It was the culmination of a grueling endurance trial, one that he writes about with his wife Jenny in the new book “North: Finding My Way While Running the Appalachian Trail.”
The two join‘s Lisa Mullins to talk about the book.
