Born to Run by Christopher McDougall is an extremely interesting book, but it surprised me in places with its unevenness. The subtitle on the cover of the book mentions a hidden tribe, super athletes, and the greatest race the world has never seen. All three areas are covered in the book, and they form the crux of the story. However, the book offers much more than that, sometimes successfully and sometimes not.Mr. McDougall wonders why his foot always hurts when he begins a running campaign - a question that has come to a lot of us. His search for an answer eventually led him to the extremely reclusive Tarahumara Indians of Mexico's Copper Canyons. The Tarahumara have always been known for incredible feats of running. Getting to experience these people turns out to be extremely difficult, and the author finally relies on the assistance of the mysterious Caballo Blanco, an American loner who lives in the area of the Tarahumara and seems to spend most of his time running the mountain trails. We also are introduced to the ultramarathoners in the United States who are running extremely long races basically for the satisfaction of showing that they can finish. A few of these people end up going to the Copper Canyons with Mr. McDougall to run with the Tarahumara in a race through the mountains, i.e., the greatest race the world has never seen. All of these sections of the book are excellent. The Tarahumara are an interesting people. The ultramarathoners are a wild bunch, and the race itself is great. Fascinating stuff.My only hesitation with Born to Run is the amount of time spent exploring injuries resulting from running and the theory that many of the problems runners experience today are the result of the expensive, heavily-padded running shoes that most people use. Are such shoes good for us or are they the main cause of the problems? Mr. McDougall explores at length the theory that the best way for our bodies to run is either barefoot or with minimal protection for the feet. He gives a history of the development of the modern running shoe and quotes a number of studies that support the benefits of running without shoes. This was interesting for a while, but I just have a lot of trouble accepting completely that the theory is correct.All in all, Born to Run is a good book. Just keep in mind that it covers a lot more ground than simply introducing us to a reclusive tribe of runners in Mexico and a boisterous bunch of long-distance runners in the States. If you are particularly interested in reclusive Indian tribes in rugged country in Mexico, I also recommend Richard Grant's book God's Middle Finger: Into the Lawless Heart of the Sierra Madre. Nothing to do with running, it is more about drug dealers and the impossibly rough country in that part of Mexico, but it is a fascinating story.
To be honest I never thought that I would ever believe that I could read a book around the topic of running and enjoy it, but this has turned into one of my all time favorite books and changed the way I think about running.Distance running is the fountain of youth (if done correctly), and this book both inspires you to run and gives you tips on how to run without hurting your body.
Reading this book made me want to weep. Not because it was sad but because finally I could read something that really touched my soul. I am a newbie at running. I have only until quite recently taken up running as one of my more favorite activities. Running the miles helped to give me perspective. Much needed perspective from my failed relationship with the love of my life, from close friends that I have lost because of that failed relationship, then having to feel that I have lost my mind and myself along the way, and dealing with other not so palatable people in my life. It seemed like the only time that I could be free was when I ran. So you have to forgive me when I say that reading about how running brings out the best in humanity and how we connect when we go back to our true selves and truly be kind and compassionate, really really spoke to me. Somehow I always knew that this is the truth and that to read the words saying so made me profoundly happy. Aside from the humanity aspects, the book is beautifully written with good grace, wisdom and humor, not to mention the amount of research and thought that have been poured into this book. Thank you for writing this. I need to reread it again.
I am not a runner. I have never been a runner and doubt I ever will be. But if, at 72 years old, I ever decide to become one, it will be because I read this book. This book is fascinating with its descriptions of the running tribes of Mexico, the quirky people the author meets along his journey to better understand ultra running, the discussions of how “better†running equipment hurts runners, and the description of the exciting race that is the conclusion of the book. I didn’t expect to really like the book, but ended up loving it. I have already recommended it to my book club.
I am not a runner but that will be changing soon. I could not put this book down once I started. At the age of 60, I am going through a renaissance of sorts. As an avid cyclist in the mid 80’s I would experience a surreal sense of bliss on long training rides and I long for that again. Briefly I dabbled in running then too and had the same experience. Fast forward 30 years and with a renewed interest in optimal health as I age, recent weight loss and lifestyle change is stirring that hunger again for feeling connected. While I will never be an ultra marathon athlete , I will aspire to apply similar discipline along with hard work and inspiration to find joy in my athletic quest as in my daily life. Highly recommend, great storytelling that will interest runner and non runner alike.
I have never in my life been interested in being a runner. I struggled with the mile in school, and assumed that any more than that was impossible for me to achieve. I only read this book because my boyfriend and his family all enjoy running and they suggested it as a book that might pique my interest-- they were totally right. After starting this book I started to run regularly and I even got into the habit of reading a chapter right before I hit the trails each day. It really does a great job of filling you with the feeling that humans are meant to run, and that running fills you with a joy that you cannot find elsewhere. I am sad that it is over and make a point to recommend it to anyone I know who might be slightly curious about running, so if you're here, I recommend it to you!
