How do you say … "Running is weird and unproductive!" everything hurt. I won't repeat it again! "," I bought the best running shoes for $ 300 and it still hurts my heels and tendons. " These are the words of those who did not understand the main thing - in modern society we are so far from our essence that we buy all kinds of unnecessary rubbish, we run in expensive and harmful shoes, which we have earned for a long time in a worthless hateful job, we do not believe in instincts and do not want learn to run. We break down as devices and hate our essence even more.
And our essence is, according to the research of the author of the book "Born to Run", that we are the only creatures on Earth with almost unlimited endurance, very sophisticated legs and a brain that controls it all. Today we do not need to run to drive the deer to complete fatigue, as the Bushmen do, or to get to a neighboring remote village, as the famous tarumara do. But our essence is unchanged - we love to run and therefore 30,000 people gather for one marathon, because children run tirelessly, because many of us love running for its minimalism and simplicity.
The book has a main storyline about the Tarumara tribe, which retained the incredible skill of running and the Western people that this legend has overgrown. In parallel, the author talks about what shoe companies are doing with runners and how they continue to generate shoes that cripple runners and what employees themselves think about it within the companies. You will learn from the book about the evolution of man as a running animal and how our subspecies of man ousted from the face of the Earth a powerful subspecies of Neanderthals, which had every chance to dominate the Earth, as Homo sapiens does today.
If you are thinking about running ultra marathons (over 42 km) and want to imbue the rebellious subculture of these extremely inspiring people, do not miss this book.
Currently, Born to Run exists in English in all the leading stores in the world - Apple Store, Amazon Kindle Store, BARNES & NOBLE. I read the book in Russian in the usual excellent translation of the publishing house "Mann, Ivanov and Ferber". The book is currently available for pre-order.
Don't miss Born to Run if you love running or feel like you want to love it! When I was reading this book, I broke down several times and ran digesting what I had read. Which is what I wish for you.

I hope that my story of trauma will warn you against my mistakes and the mistakes of those who calm down in moments of trauma and do not broadcast positive about you on social networks.
