I finished “Born to Run” by Christopher McDougall today. I have to say that this book was just amazing. If you run and you’ve not read this book, then you really should. It centres on the author’s one question, “Why do my feet hurt?”. What follows is the author’s journey for the truth about running, which takes him to the most remote places on earth in search of a reclusive tribe who regularly run 100 miles for fun. And they do that wearing nothing more than sandals. No expensive running shoes of them. Is this the way we were born to run? Well, yes, I think it is. This is really encouraging and if I’d not already started on my barefoot running training, this book would have got me started.
Read it.
