Episode 246: Jenny and Scott Jurek

I catch up with returning guests Jenny and Scott Jurek on today’s episode! I am absolutely loving having returning guests on for these fun catch ups. I was excited to talk about one of their most recent big adventures in this episode – they bike packed around Japan WITH their 1 and 3 year old kids! I love that they don’t let having small kids get in the way of seeking adventure and walked away feeling encouraged to do the same.

Scott and Jenny are author’s of the book “North” – a book that documents their journey on the Appalachian Trail. Scott put in the miles and Jenny put her heart into crewing him and supporting him on this big adventure.

Scott is perhaps most known for his book Eat and Run and for his 7- consecutive straight victories at The Western States 100-Mile Endurance Run, he has also taken victories in the 153-mile Spartathlon, the Hardrock 100 and the Badwater 135-Mile Ultramarathon.

Jenny is an outdoor apparel/activewear designer, badass ultra runner (she has 2 100 milers under her belt!) and advocate for safe maternal health for women all over the World.

My guest on the show today is Jenny Jurek – mother of two, outdoor apparel/activewear designer, badass ultra runner (she has 2 100 milers under her belt!), Author of the book “North” and advocate for safe maternal health for women all over the World.

I met Jenny when her and her husband Scott came to Indianapolis and I had the opportunity to host a live podcast recording. Have you ever meet someone who is just the kindest and most easy to talk to person? That’s Jenny Jurek.

In this episode of the podcast Jenny shares with us her career path in the design world and how she landed her dream job working for Patagonia back in the day, how she was inspired by her friend (and past podcast guest Krissy Moehl to run her first ultra. We also talk about her marriage to ultra runner Scott Jurek- how they met and their journey to becoming parents, which included fertility struggles, two miscarriages, one of which was an ectopic pregnancy which lead to the Jurek’s passion and support for the nonprofit “Every Mother Counts.” I had a great time talking with Jenny and I hope you all enjoy our conversation!

Thanks again to Krissy Moehl for introducing me to the Jurek’s!

Scott Jurek is a Husband, Father, Author and one of the names we will never forget in the world of Ultra running. Most known for his 7- consecutive straight victories at The Western States 100-Mile Endurance Run, he has also taken victories in the 153-mile Spartathlon, the Hardrock 100 and the Badwater 135-Mile Ultramarathon.

In their newest venture – in 2015, Scott and his wife Jenny recount their adventure on the Appalachian Trail in their new book “North” – Scott put in the miles and Jenny put her heart into crewing him and supporting him on this big adventure. He took the Appalachian Trail speed record that year, averaging nearly 50 miles a day over 46 days. He also once held the United States all-surface record in the 24-Hour Run with 165.7 miles: 6.5 marathons in one day – which in this episode he mentions he might have interest in chasing that down again.

Scott is well known for his vegan diet and is an encourager to runners of all abilities to live a healthy lifestyle. He is also a New York Times-bestselling author for his memoir, Eat & Run, and his journey running the the Tarahumar in the Copper Caynon is recounted in the popular book, Born To Run.

In this conversation, you’ll get to hear about Scott’s career and passion for the sport, his back story, which victories meant most to him and how he remained mentally tough during dark times in races and events like the Appalachian Trial. You’ll also get to hear from his wife, Jenny about their time on the Appalachian Trail and what’s next for them. No fear friends- Jenny will be back on for a solo episode where we’ll get to hear all about her story as well.
