"This past Sunday [July 12, 2015], ultramarathon runner Scott Jurek completed a thru-hike of the AT in record-breaking time: 46 days, 8 hours and 7 minutes.
"Given that most people take five to six months to complete an AT hike, Jurek's accomplishment is stunning.
"Jurek told NPR on Tuesday that he both hiked and ran on the AT, and described how he slept and ate on the trail. One cool thing that didn't come up in the interview? Jurek is a vegan."
