Born to Run - The Training Guide

In 2012, Christopher McDougall published the bestseller that revolutionized running: Born to Run. According to him, since the dawn of humanity, our bodies have evolved to run. We are therefore "born to run." Today, the author returns with Eric Orton, the coach who accompanied him to Mexico to meet the Rarámuri "ultra-endurance" runners. Runners from all walks of life gather around this duo to learn how to run faster, further, longer, and without injury.

Born to Run – The Training Guide offers a highly detailed 90-day action plan based on the “Seven Pillars”: Nutrition, Strengthening, Stride, Paces, Shoes, Enjoyment, and Support. This guide helps you get (back) in shape and achieve your running goals with corrective exercises, recipes, advice on the importance of teamwork, and tips for choosing the right shoes and avoiding injuries. Each richly illustrated chapter begins with the story of meetings with people whose lives have been transformed by endurance running, where the author rediscovers all the verve that made him successful.
