In this inaugural episode of "Why Am I Listening to This", Zach Davis & Tom Gathman are joined by Scott Jurek to talk about his current Appalachian Trail FKT (Fastest Known Time) attempt.  Scott has one of the most storied ultrarunning resumes of all time including victories at the 153-mile Spartathlon, the Hardrock 100, the Badwater 135-Mile Ultramarathon, and the Western States 100-Mile Endurance Run, which he won seven straight times. We chat about reclaiming his AT FKT & dealing with Tom.
