Isolated by Mexico's deadly Copper Canyons, the blissful Tarahumara Indians have honed the ability to run hundreds of miles without rest or injury. In a riveting narrative, award-winning journalist and often-injured runner Christopher McDougall sets out to discover their secrets. In the process, 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.

A MUST READ
Revisado: 06-06-17
What did you like best about this story?
The science behind us humans, how we are built to run and how we have really f***ed things up. The science it not over my head, broken down very easily. I also like how the chapters intertwine.
Have you listened to any of Fred Sanders’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
Not that I am aware of
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Wanted- YES. Hated that it ended.
Any additional comments?
I am an overweight long distance walker and a "wonna-be runner". This book was a huge motivator and I am trying a lot of the things suggested in the book (diet and running in grass)

Stuck in a job he no longer found fulfilling, journalist Mike McIntyre felt his life was quickly passing him by. So one day he hit the road to trek from one end of the country to the other with little more than the clothes on his back and without a single penny in his pocket. Through his travels, he found varying degrees of kindness in strangers from all walks of life - and discovered more about people and values and life on the road in America than he'd ever thought possible.

I was entranced through the journey

Felt like I was walking next to him. I loved every detail and his passion for his cause and to complete his mission. There were moments that I help my breath waiting to see what was going to happen, I laughed and cried. Highly recommend!
