Literally. Scott Jurek is an ultramarathoner and will run your ass into the ground, well over a hundred miles at a clip. He also eats only plants. And, he is thirty-six years old. Hell yes Scott. He is a monster:
By 1999, he ran his first Western States 100. Formally called the Western States Endurance Run, this is an up-and-down course in the Sierra Nevada with a cutoff time of 30 hours. He set the course record in 2004, 15 hours 36 minutes; won the race seven consecutive times; and in 2005, two weeks after finishing, ran and won the Badwater Ultramarathon, a 135-mile race that begins in Death Valley and ends halfway up Mount Whitney.
So the next time someone tells you that you can't be "healthy" or get appropriate nourishment from a vegan diet, kick them in the shins, then tell them about Scott Jurek.
