À propos de cet audio
David Clark is a formerly obese alcoholic and fast food junkie who found a new life in running. Now, 13 years after his transformation, he shares his inspiring story of taking running to the extreme edge of his physical and spiritual breaking points. Having run more than a hundred races, including the Leadville 100-Mile Trail Run and the Hardrock 100, David has achieved unimaginable success in the ultramarathon world, considering his humble start. From barely finishing his first 5k to running 100 miles in less than 18 hours, David shatters the notion that the front of the pack is a birthright.
Among his many outlandish adventures, David talks about doing 10 epic events in one year to celebrate his 10th year of sobriety. This mind-bending year of running included running the Boston Marathon four times in one day, running 343 laps around a high school track, and running 48 hours on a treadmill. You will feel like you are running alongside him as he navigates his vision quest - all the while hallucinating and breaking from reality in one of the most epic Badwater 135 race experiences ever told.
David’s story is raw, honest, and pure adrenaline-laden inspiration as he shares his unique brand of Americana and heavy metal Buddhism. This book has far more to offer than just miles traveled and mountains climbed. It's about trying to find a way station of balance somewhere in a world of extremes. It’s about running to create a legacy and develop your own inner strengths. After listening to Broken Open, you’ll never doubt how strong you can be, how much you can endure, or whether or not you are capable of finding true happiness.

In Eat and Run, Scott Jurek opens up about his life and career - as an elite athlete and a vegan - and inspires runners at every level. From his Midwestern childhood hunting, fishing, and cooking for his meat-and-potatoes family, to his early beginnings in running (he hated it), to his slow transition to ultrarunning and veganism, to his world-spanning, record-breaking races, Scott's story shows the power of an iron will and blows apart all the stereotypes of what athletes should eat to fuel optimal performance.

Histoire
Scott Jurek is one of the world's best known and most beloved ultrarunners. Renowned for his remarkable endurance and speed, accomplished on a vegan diet, he's finished first in nearly all of ultrarunning's elite events over the course of his career. But after two decades of racing, training, speaking, and touring, Jurek felt an urgent need to discover something new about himself. He embarked on a wholly unique challenge, one that would force him to grow as a person and as an athlete: breaking the speed record for the Appalachian Trail.

He began with marathons, and when marathons weren't far enough he began to take on ultramarathons, races that went for 35, 50, and sometimes hundreds of miles, traveling to some of the most unforgiving places on earth to race.

Growing up in the Canadian Rockies, the mountains have always been home for Jenny Tough. Travelling the world, she's always discovered commonalities with mountains—and mountain people. Her major project is to run solo and unsupported across a mountain range on every continent where indigenous mountain people live isolated from the outside, urban world. Running solo and unsupported comes with obvious logistical as well as physical challenges, but running is also a common language.

She gives up drugs and moves back home with her mother, abandoning her friends, her boyfriend, and the lifestyle that she came to depend on. Her only clean friend pushes her to train for a 10K with him, and surprisingly, she likes it and decides to run her first marathon after that.

Histoire
Deena Kastor was a star youth runner with tremendous promise, yet her career almost ended after college, when her competitive method - run as hard as possible, for fear of losing - fostered a frustration and negativity and brought her to the brink of burnout. On the verge of quitting, she took a chance and moved to the high altitudes of Alamosa, Colorado, where legendary coach Joe Vigil had started the first professional distance-running team. There she encountered the idea that would transform her running career: the notion that changing her thinking - shaping her mind to be more encouraging, kind, and resilient - could make her faster than she’d ever imagined possible.

As a person who has never heard of David before I found this book I was thrilled to find that we are very similar. This book has made me reflect on my own sobriety and my own need to run ultras. I got far more then I expected with this book.

Tough to listen to
There’s a lot of ways to interpret “tough to listen to”. David bares it all telling his story. It’s tough to listen to his indiscretions, it’s tough to listen to when he falls, and fails. He is very humble with his triumphs.
I don’t know David. But it’s seems he is telling an honest recollection of his monkey mind from 2005 onward.
We get to know Desmond too. THAT, was a tough listen. That whole chapter was friggin dark.
I’m not sure that the brutal honesty, the cleansing, the unveiling of your darkest self was necessary. Not Desmond, your cheating on your first wife. I’ve been there. I’ve confronted that one too, it’s a skeleton best left in the closet. We all have them. Although it’s those skeletons that make us who we are, and if we’re honest with ourselves, it’s what made us better humans being.
Normally, I listen to a book in days. This one took me weeks. This was not one of my favorite books. But maybe it should be. He rambles, but what he gives you is incredibly crystal clear pictures with his words. In a way, this book is a gift. Clarity. Honesty. Life. Learning. Emotion. Recovery. Relationships.

Emotional, motivational, not for runners
Runners may get the wrong message - overstretch yourself, run without a plan, it's all emotional out there, plans don't matter, just run as hard as you can. Otherwise, it's an entertaining read with a lot of emotional storytelling. Too many unnecessary f-bombs, like a kid who tried to look all grown up by using the bad words.
