Born to Run: A Hidden Tribe, Superathletes, and the Greatest Race the World Has Never Seen

by Christopher McDougall

Christopher McDougall sets out to answer a simple question, why does my foot hurt, and ends up in Mexico's Copper Canyons with a tribe of legendary distance runners. Born to Run is an adventure story that doubles as a manifesto against the modern running shoe.
