«Born to Run» is the sports essay by Christopher McDougall published by Profile Books in paperback (304 pages, in English).
After wondering why his foot hurts when he runs, Christopher McDougall investigates the Tarahumara, a Mexican tribe of great long-distance runners. The book mixes journalism, science and adventure: Harvard and Nike laboratories, ultrarunners who push their bodies to the limit, and an 80-kilometer race through the Copper Canyons.
The full subtitle is «The Hidden Tribe, the Ultra-Runners, and the Greatest Race the World Has Never Seen». The work was originally published in 2009; this edition is from 2010.
For runners and readers of sports and adventure nonfiction; also for those who want to learn about Tarahumara culture.
