Born to Run

Lacing up my worn running shoes, I couldn’t help but smile as I cracked open “Born to Run.” McDougall’s vivid storytelling transported me to Mexico’s Copper Canyons, where the enigmatic Tarahumara Indians run like the wind. Through personal anecdotes and scientific insights, he unravels the secrets of these superathletes, challenging everything I thought I knew about running. As I turned each page, I felt my own feet itching to hit the trails, inspired by the primal joy of movement that McDougall so beautifully captures.

You don't stop running because you get old, you get old because you stop running.
