Born to Run: A Hidden Tribe, Superathletes, and the Greatest Race the World Has Never Seen by Christopher McDougall

David Ott, January 1, 2012

This book, although non fiction, houses within it exciting and sometimes suspenseful stories and adventures as is moves towards the final race. In addition, it dispenses valuable and well researched information to both encourage and inspire anyone to run as it shares more truthful knowledge about shoes, diet, mental and physical preparation. It approaches running from the perspective of mind, body, emotion and spirit and demonstrates how a tribe in a remote part of Mexico knows how to put these components together intuitively to live a more peaceful and joyful life. It explains how and why we as homo sapiens were able to advance as a species more fully because of our unique ability to run and outdistance other mamals and how, through this ability, we survived both climate and predators. If you are into running at any level I think you will enjoy and appreciate this book. Even if you are not, it may encourage you to begin in a relaxed way that will bring you more joy and peace in this rather insane world.
