At the heart of Born to Run lies a mysterious tribe of Mexican
Indians, the Tarahumara, who live quietly in canyons and are
reputed to be the best distance runners in the world, in 1993, one
of them, aged 57, came first in a prestigious 100-mile race wearing
a toga and sandals. A small group of the world's top ultra-runners
(and the awe-inspiring author) make the treacherous journey into
the canyons to try to learn the tribe's secrets and then take them
on over a course 50 miles long. With incredible energy and smart
observation, McDougall tells this story while asking what the
secrets are to being an incredible runner. Travelling to labs at
Harvard, Nike, and elsewhere, he comes across an incredible cast of
characters, including the woman who recently broke the world record
for 100 miles and for her encore ran a 2:50 marathon in a bikini,
pausing to down a beer at the 20 mile mark.
