Born to Run-轻识

An epic adventure that began with one simple question: Why does my foot hurt?

Isolated by Mexico's deadly Copper Canyons, the blissful Tarahumara Indians of have honed the ability to run hundreds of miles without rest or injury. In a riveting narrative, award-winning journalist and often-injured runner, Chris McDougall sets out to discover their secrets. In the process, he takes his readers from science labs at Harvard to the sun-baked valleys and freezing peaks across North America, where ever-growing numbers of ultra-runners are pushing their bodies to the limit, and, finally, to a climactic race in the Copper Canyons that pits America’s best ultra-runners against the tribe. McDougall’s incredible story will not only engage your mind but inspire your body when you realize that you, indeed all of us, were born to run.

爱好跑步，但频受脚痛之苦。偶然得知在墨西哥的铜峡谷，隐居着史上最强的长跑族群塔拉乌马拉人。于是穿越峡谷，寻找和族人颇有交情的奇人卡巴洛，一睹这支与世隔绝的部族的真面貌，探得跑步真谛。此间学习塔拉乌马拉人的跑法，脚伤不治自愈，后写下《天生就会跑》一书。

目前在练跑步之余，写下一部作品。
