Tue Feb 11 2025
This was one of our FAVOURITE convos of all time so we just had to reshare it with you. If you aren't already a super fan of best-selling author Christopher McDougall you will be after this episode. Chris brought all kinds of passion, energy, enthusiasm and curiosity into the conversation. Which, we're pretty sure is just how he exists on this planet. He is truly an inspiration in the way he looks at the world, allows his curiosity to lead him, and his desire to unearth the untold and yet beautiful stories no one else is looking for.
We have both been deeply inspired by Christopher's work, specifically his book "Born to run" had a tremendous impact on us as runners, would be adventurers, and lovers of great stories... If you have yet to check it out, be sure to grab a copy and give it a read, you WILL NOT be disappointed!
I left a brief description of the book below, to whet your appetite!

Article: Born to Run- Secrets of the Tarahumara
Book: Born to Run by Christopher McDougall
"Born to Run" by Christopher McDougall is an epic story that explores the hidden tribe of the Tarahumara people in the remote Copper Canyons of Mexico, who are known for their incredible long-distance running ability. The book also delves into the science behind running and how humans are biologically designed to run long distances.
In the book McDougall discusses the idea that modern running shoes with thick soles and excessive support may actually be causing more harm than good, and that a more natural approach to running may lead to fewer injuries. McDougall also presents the argument that humans are evolved to be able to run for long distances, citing studies that show humans are the ultimate endurance athletes.
Overall, "Born to Run" is a fascinating exploration of human evolution and the potential for human endurance, as well as a riveting adventure story that introduces readers to a unique and inspiring community of runners.
