Born to Run by Christopher McDougall
I read this book and has automatically become one of my all time favorite books, and I would recommend it to everybody except thereâs a problem. Actually, a big problem.
I love to run long distances, Iâve been doing it for years and this book is about that. So if you donât like to run or youâre not an athlete youâll probably find it boring; and thatâs ok, this book is not for everybody.
So now that I have give you a small warning, I will continue telling you about this book. Christopher, the author, has been running for a long time but has develop several complications and he cannot carry on running. So he goes on a trip around the world to find answers.
Thereâs a lot of stories about ultra runners and famous races ( Peope who goe beyond running a marathon. We are talking 50, 75 and 100 miles. Serious fucked up running ) stories about compassion, winning, losing and overall running.
Thereâs two main stories in the book, the first one is about an ancient tribe called the Tarahumara. A tribe in Mexico, away from civilization, that has been running in sandals since forever. Theyâre the most amazing and natural runners in the world. And why are they the best? Thatâs the second main story.
Thereâs some scientists that affirm that running is what makes a human, well, a human. We evolved into running animals, itâs in our DNA, in our bodies and in our muscles. We werenât made to go fast, we were made to go long. And this theory is amazing.
All humans are natural born runners.
Thereâs more to this book and if you love to run youâll love to read this; and maybe if you donât youâll get some inspiration.
And by the way, looks like next year Matthew McConaughey will be acting in the adaptation of this book, so thatâs something to look forward.
