Born to Run 2: The Ultimate Training Guide by Christopher McDougall, Eric Orton
5.0
Born to Run was the book that made me want to be a runner. Born to Run 2 is the book that will guide my path to becoming a runner. I read the book fairly slowly as I wanted to really absorb the information within.
The book opens by talking about the unexpected impact of the first book, and then tells the story behind BtR2. While it's nice to get some extra insight on the first book, the real meat and potatoes is in the actionable items that come next.
Christopher McDougall introduces lots of warm ups and drills that I've found useful so far. He discusses nutrition in one chapter, though I found that section to be less compelling. The best part is the free 90-days training program at the end of the book. I am currently going through week 1 of the program, but I look forward to seeing what my running looks like in week 12.
9/10. This book is a gem for any runner.
