Born to Run: A Hidden Tribe, Superathletes, and the Greatest Race the World Has Never Seen by Christopher McDougall
4.0
Loved this book. I loved this book for the real life characters and the scientific studies on barefoot running and I also loved it for the passion and the racing details.
What I didn't love (and the reason it's not a five star book) is the fact that McDougall switched between all of these different aspects of the book at the drop of a hat. He would be in the middle of describing a specific race and then take a tangent into 20 pages of scientific details about the evolution of man.
End result - really enjoyed it and now I want to toss out my running shoes and run barefoot!
