Book of the Week
Born to Run: A Hidden Tribe, Superathletes, and the Greatest Race the World Has Never Seen by Christopher McDougall.
Two most helpful lessons I’ve learned from this book:
1- The key to long-distance running is having good form and pacing yourself.
2- Our bodies are built to run barefoot, which is better for our feet.
For most runners, wearing a shoe is not unlike wearing a plaster cast around the foot. Like a cast, a shoe inhibits movement and causes the muscles in the foot to lose strength. Because of this imbalance, the rest of the body has extra stress on other muscles and joints, increasing the risk of injury.
“Born to Run” is a fantastic book for anyone who runs, wants to run, or needs convincing that they should be running.
Strategy
Having humility and openness to keep your mind open.
