À propos de cet audio

NATIONAL BESTSELLER • The astonishing and hugely entertaining story that completely changed the way we run. An epic adventure that began with one simple question: Why does my foot hurt?

“Equal parts quest, physiology treatise, and running history.... The climactic race reads like a sprint.... It simply makes you want to run.” —Outside Magazine

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, and, finally, to a climactic race in the Copper Canyons that pits America’s best ultra-runners against the tribe. McDougall’s incredible story will not only engage your mind but inspire your body when you realize that you, indeed all of us, were born to run.

At times I found it hard to listen to, but later realized I really enjoyed those parts that I wish were faster. Great performance and loved the story, especially the informative tangents.

Full of unspoken facts that will change completely the way you look at running. It changed running for me - it’s not even the same sport as it was before - and resurrected the runner in me from a decade of back-pain-induced withdrawal.
And it’s all wrapped up in this addictive story telling that keeps the pages turning.
Read it!

This book was definitely an ear catcher. I was hooked to the concepts of ultra and keen to learn more. I think its a great place to start for anyone interested. Though i didn’t quite agree with everything in the book. it certainly held my attention and propelled my own search for more information, and inspired me to do my first ultra.
