Born to Run

Astonishing national bestseller and hugely entertaining story that completely changed the way we run. A compelling narrative of award-winning journalist and often-injured runner Christopher McDougall set out to discover the secrets of a little-known Mexican tribe that uses running as a way to escape predators. In his riveting journey, he takes his readers from science labs at Harvard to the sun-baked valleys and freezing peaks across North America, where ever-growing numbers of ultra-runners are pushing their bodies to the limit, and finally in a race in the Copper Canyons that pits America’s best ultra-runners against the tribe. Runner’s World says: “The storytelling equivalent of parkour, this book will rewrite your mind and your body. ”
