Born to Run Review

This book is a must read for any endurance athlete...great stories, great insight into the life's and mind's of some pretty amazing runners. It also shares and analyzes a lot of highly respected opinions on the art of running, including the fast-approved notion that using barefoot runs as part of the training can help prevent injuries and reinforce the best form for each individual, which in turn helps prevent injuries.

It is hard to believe but really inspiring to read and learn about the "Raramuri", also called the Tarahumara tribe and "The Running People". It is simply hard to believe that such culture exists, I will not go into further details so that you can better enjoy the book, just know that these people are fast runners while doing long-distance trails...Some have already won the Leadville 100 without breaking a sweat and in the trail-running world the Raramuri are idolized...simply said, a rare breed with super-human athletic abilities.

After reading this book you will definitely put on your snickers, sandals, 5 fingers or nothing at all and go on one of those uplifting trail adventures....I know I will.
