BORN TO RUN: THE HIDDEN TRIBE, THE ULTRA-RUNNERS, AND THE GREATEST RACE THE WORLD HAS NEVER SEEN Paperback – 15 April 2010

Awesome awesome read for runners and non runners alike. Wonderful manner of storytelling and emotionally captivating !! A must read

It is a good book and reads more like fiction. But that’s not the best part. Many books do this. What I enjoyed most was knowing so much about running, of human physiology that confirms we were actually born to run, and not just walk. Something I never knew. Fantastic! Lot if research has gone into this book making by the author.

A highly inspiring book that got me started with barefoot running...I'm loving it :-)The book does feel like a mix of research, history, autobiography & sometimes even a movie script. Therefore, at times, I did marginally lose interest but as you continue it pulls you back in quite quickly.My disappointment with the book is this - I was looking for a lot of learning about barefoot running considering how popular this book is. But sadly, the it only touts barefoot running & isn't a coaching manual or playbook for anyone looking to get started. For that you'll have to look elsewhere on the Internet, I suppose.Overall, a very good read about why running is such a great sport which we humans were born to do.

It's such an amazing book that it just not only engages you throughout the story but also inspires you to take out those running shoes and head off to wilderness. Author takes you from the Harvard lab to the far off Leadville race to copper canyons in Mexico, its an exceptional narrative with details from evolution to running techniques and a good sneak peak at these new shoe models launched every year in the name of safe running! I would recommend this book to anyone who has even slight interest in running, you will definitely enjoy it and will learn some new things about our body and how we are all born to run!

This book is simply excellent. I know it is non-fiction but it is so well written that it can pass as a fiction thriller peppered with scientific insights. As a beginner runner, I loved it but even those who don't run should get this book and read it with an open mind. The human form truly has been "evolved" to run.

This is best book for running. The most interesting and important chapter for Runners are chapter 28 and chapter 32. The incidents in this book are funny, motivating and captivating.

Beautiful story of a lesser known tribe.Inspired me to start running and I’ve been getting better at it with each passing day

Although the book is not perfectly written. It jumps through various topics like Tarahumara to bare foot running overall a good read. It won’t teach you any running techniques but tell the stories of great runners.
