Book Menu for Born to Run: a Hidden Tribe, Super Athletes, and the Greatest Race the World Has Never Seen by Christopher McDougall
I really enjoyed reading this book but didn't love the writing style. I run everyday myself and was fascinated to learn about ultra-running. I can't wait to see the film adaptation!
