Running With The Tarahumara
By Virginia Prescott on Wednesday, May 27, 2009.
Journalist Christopher McDougall took his aching feet on a quest to find the reclusive tribe and to uncover its technique for ultradistance running. He's a writer for Men's Health magazine, and the author of the new book Born to Run: A Hidden Tribe, Superathletes, and the Greatest Race the World Has Never Seen. He joined us from Portland, Oregon to share the secrets of the Tarahumara runners.

Just finished reading that amazing book that you spoke about a while back. How incredible. I only wonder how Virginia Prescott didn't just GUSH about it, given that she is clearly a runner. (I mean, who else KNOWS about the cuboid, let alone BREAKS it!?) Thank you so much for the interview and the honest-to-God life changing book you brought into my life. Listening is always a pleasure.
