Running Tales: After all is said and run
His 2009 bestseller, Born to Run, is the most popular book ever written about running, but Chris McDougall has a strong message for new - and current - runners: Do less.
“Less shoe, less miles, less speed, do less,” he told Running Tales when questioned about his top tips.
Anyone who has read his New York Times bestseller - for those not in the know its full title is ‘Born to Run: The Hidden Tribe, The Superathletes, and the Greatest Race the World Has Never Seen’ - won’t be overly surprised by his words.
McDougall’s masterpiece tells the story of a mysterious tribe of Mexican Indians, the Tarahumara, who live quietly in canyons and are reputed to be the best distance runners in the world.
He explores how they are able to run huge distances without picking up injuries, and whether modern trainers and creature comforts are causing more problems than they are solving.
Running Tales caught up with the author, who has also written Natural Born Heroes, Running With Sherman and, most recently, training guide Born to Run 2, to not only talk all things running, barefoot and how to find the perfect form, but also about how his father both embarrassed and inspired him by running laps round his kindergarten, life as a war correspondent
