Christopher McDougall, author of Born to Run, Natural Born Heroes and Running With Sherman

Pete and Tyler chat with Chris McDougall about his new book,
Running with Sherman, burro racing in Leadville Colorado and his
iconic book, Born to Run. Chris, on the genesis of Born to Run; “I
was just trying to huff out a few miles and do the basic minimum
physical requirement to not be morbidly obese, that was my goal in
life, and I just kept getting injured all the time. I think that’s
the reason Born to Run really resonated with people, was because I
think it came at them from a perspective that a lot of people
shared. We’re just trying to work out a little bit, why is so hard?
Why is so unpleasant? Why do I have to force myself to do it? And
that, to me, was the starting point of Born to Run”.
