Today I started reading Born to Run by Christopher McDougall. I’ve read a lot about it and am intrigued by the accounts of the Tarahumara I’ve read.
Christopher is a writer for Men’s Health and you can see a section of the book in an article on the Men’s Health website. It’s a long article with 6 pages but easy to read. I’d recommend giving it a go.
I’m really tempted to radically change my diet too, possibly even cutting out meat for all but special occasions. If you know me at all you’ll know that isn’t a decision I would take lightly!
I’ll post updates to my thoughts on the book as I progress…
Is running a nature or nurture event?
Anthropologists say that humans are designed to run. That’s what we do. We’re not fast or strong but we are one of the best endurance runners in the animal kingdom. Allegedly anyway!
