Born to Run reviews

Well written, impossible to put down. Revolution in the making. If you hate running read this book! If you love running read this book! Everytime I put the book down I would be just bursting out of my skin to get out in nature and just run!!!

Hidden in the Mexican mountains are a reclusive tribe of ultra athletes. As the author goes about trying to understand these people and what makes them so good he comes across some remarkable and amazing characters, some appear to be stark raving mad but they all share the same love for ultra distance running. This book is uplifting, educational and inspirational, when you are reading it you feel you can just slap on some running shoes and run forever, highly recommended if you're a runner, even if you don't run it will warm your heart and give you an insight into what makes ultra distance athletes tick.

For anyone in the slightest bit interested in running this is a must read, very interesting story, very hard to put down.

No matter what type of runner you are, whether you are a novice to an ultra-runner, this book will provide you with an insight on how you can improve your running. Apart from learning new running skills the story line is strong, interesting and raises questions about humans and what they can achieve.

I wasn't able to put this book down. Each chapter provided more interesting facts to digest and the continuing story about the ‘ultimate race’ deep in Mexico makes this book a great read for anyone who has ever ran 1km or 100km.
