3 quotes from Born to Run

  • "The only time you are truly running is when you are running away from something that could kill you."
  • "To me, the most important thing about running is that we should all be able to do it. We forget that running comes naturally."
  • "In every runner, there is a hidden creature that wants to get out and play, which we often forget in the quest for speed and distance."

Author : Christopher McDougall

This book was written by Christopher McDougall. After graduating from Harvard, McDougall worked as a correspondent for the Associated Press and reported wars in Angola, Congo, and Rwanda. Since returning to the U.S., he has been writing for Outdoor, The New York Times, Runner’s World, and other publications. He is also a three-time finalist in the National Magazine Awards for reporting. As an enthusiastic runner, McDougall used to suffer a lot from foot injuries. By coincidence, he learned that in remote Copper Canyons of Mexico live the greatest distance runners on earth, the Tarahumara, so he went there and discovered the truth about running.
