Why People Run
AUGUST 17, 2010 TUESDAY AT 3PM CT

 
 
Born to Run is a book of wild narrative full of insane characters, extreme sports and one crazy idea: running barefoot is the answer to safe, pain-free and endurance. Christopher McDougall gathered information about Mexico's Copper Canyon unknown tribe of the Tarahumara's running style and put them in test. The result became a book that goes against all odds of multi-million dollar shoe making industry that promotes the jelly and soft cushion shoes.

Guests
  • Christopher McDougall, journalist, former war correspondent, and author of Born to Run
