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

dangerduncs, January 4, 2012

Christopher McDougall tells a fascinating story about the terahumara, a native tribe in Mexico, that run barefoot for hundreds of miles. He balances the story about the terahumara and their long distance running with some of the science behind running, which is interesting. Also there is a fun race between some American ultradistance runners against the terahumara. It is a great story and it has helped inspire some of my friends and myself to enjoy running a lot more.
