The Born to Run (book)

*Born to Run* by Christopher McDougall explores the incredible endurance and natural running ability of humans, inspired by the hidden Mexican tribe, the Tarahumara, known for their long-distance running. The book investigates the science of running, challenges modern running injuries, and advocates for minimalist footwear and natural running techniques. It combines adventure, anthropology, and personal stories to highlight how humans are biologically designed for long-distance running, emphasizing the joy, health benefits, and cultural significance of running as a fundamental human trait.
