Inspiring submitted by yugure on July 3, 2013, 3:13pm An inspiring story of a great athlete. Jurek started out like a pretty normal Midwesterner - a meat and potatoes boy, hunting and fishing and wandering in the woods. While he got an early start to athleticism (running and skiing), it wasn't until much later that he transitioned to a plant-based diet and discovered he felt and performed better once he cut out the junk (meat, dairy, processed foods). His accounts of his races like the Western States 100 and the Spartathalon are fun to read, though his accounts of his personal life (particularly with his hard father and ill mother) will tug at your heartstrings.

Vegan. submitted by tbbrown76 on July 12, 2014, 11:49pm and running. Who'd a thunk it? But, it has really worked for him. Saw him on TV. Good stuff.
