Scott Jurek is one of the central characters in Christopher
McDougall’s masterpiece Born

Jurek is a dedicated vegetarian, who maintains his place at
the pinnacle of the ultra-running community on a purely plant-based diet,
eschewing much of the conventional wisdom of sports science and nutrition. He recently published some of his recipes for pre and post
training energy boosts in Outside magazine.

I have yet to read his new book entitled Eat and Run, but got the chance to
listen to a great interview with him on Competitor Radio recently where he
talks extensively about the book and his various philosophies.
