Seller's Description:
Vintage (RH). PAPERBACK. 2015. 9780307279187: Mid-way through [Born to Run] I thought, anybody who has ever gone for a jog would have fun reading this book; by the time I finished it I realized that even folks who never ran, or ran loathing every step, would find plenty to enjoy. Encompassing the world of long distance running, the focus is the Tarahumara indians who have fun running continuously for a day or two through the rugged, scorching Copper Canyons of Mexico...wearing homemade sandals! McDougall visits the reclusive tribe and compares them to the competitors in ultra-marathon races--often 50-100 miles in extreme environments such as Death Valley or the high Rockies. He cites convincing studies which conclude that modern humans evolved as long-distance runners. Whether this hypothesis is correct or not, the book is a fascinating peak into two misunderstood groups of people brought together by running. [Chris].
