Born to Run by Chris McDougall
A Hidden Tribe, Superathletes, and the Greatest Race the World Has Never Seen
"Born to Run" is an exploration of the Tarahumara Indians of Mexico's Copper Canyons, known for their ability to run long distances without injury or fatigue. The author, intrigued by their ability, delves into the secrets of their endurance and the science behind it. The book also features a narrative of an ultramarathon event involving the Tarahumara runners, American ultrarunners, and the author himself. It challenges modern running practices and footwear, advocating for a more natural, minimalist approach to running.
