The best-selling author of Born to Run now travels
to the Mediterranean, where he discovers that the secrets of
ancient Greek heroes are still alive and well on the island of
Crete, and ready to be unleashed in the muscles and minds of
casual athletes and aspiring heroes everywhere.
Full of incredible characters, amazing athletic achievements,
cutting-edge science, and, most of all, pure inspiration, Born
to Run is an epic adventure that began with one simple
question. Why does my foot hurt. In search of an answer,
Christopher McDougall sets off to find a tribe of the world’s
greatest distance runners and learn their secrets, and in the
process shows us that everything we thought we knew about running
is wrong.
