ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

“Born to Run” by Christopher McDougall explores the incredible endurance abilities of the Tarahumara, an indigenous tribe from Mexico's Copper Canyons, known for their extraordinary long-distance running skills. Through his journey to understand their secret, McDougall delves into the science of running, the impact of modern footwear on biomechanics, and the philosophy of simplicity and natural movement. The book blends adventure, science, and cultural exploration, offering insights into human potential, the joy of running, and the power of connection between body, mind, and nature. It challenges modern concepts of fitness and inspires a return to basic, natural practices.
