What if everything we thought we knew about running was wrong? This book embarks on an epic adventure, beginning with a simple question about persistent foot pain and leading to the discovery of a reclusive tribe in Mexico's Copper Canyons, the Tarahumara Indians. For centuries, they have possessed the secret to running hundreds of miles without injury, maintaining incredible health and serenity.
