Recommended Reading for Runners
I regularly recommend this book to runners and non-runners alike. First off, it’s a great story, full of inspiration of many different kinds. Second (and probably more importantly) it offers a wealth of debate to challenge everything you’ve ever thought you knew about footwear and running as a high impact sport. Thirdly, comparitive study of the sociology and psychology of the Tarahumara provide astounding revelations on the link between the mind and performance.
Born to Run holds enormous value for anyone looking to “rethink their feet” something I encourage many of my clients to do; regardless of how they plan to use them.
