"Born to Run" is a book that will change your perspective on running. Christopher McDougall shows that running is a natural part of our lives by going back to the roots of humanity. Inspired by the Tarahumara tribe, the author discovers that the key to running without injuries is to return to simplicity and natural methods. This book is not only a story about running, but also about the search for one's own identity and the discovery of the joy of movement.

The author, struggling with his own injuries, travels to Mexico to learn the secrets of the Tarahumara. These Indians, also called Raramuri (Running People), live far from civilization in a deeply hidden canyon. They can run distances of several hundred kilometers, and injuries are extremely rare. McDougall learns their running technique, diet and lifestyle, and presents the most outstanding runners and the most difficult mountain marathons.

This book is also a critique of the modern footwear industry. The author argues that sports shoes, instead of helping, often contribute to injuries. McDougall encourages experimenting with natural running methods, such as running barefoot or in minimalist sandals. "Born to Run" is a must-read for anyone who wants to run healthy and enjoy every step.
