Conclusion - Post #11

    Reading through the book “Born To Run”, I realized that the story of the book “Born To Run” is composed of author’s personal experiences and wide range knowledge about running. As an athlete who plays many sports include much running, I agreed on many theories and running skills, in which provided in the book. In the modern society where many people use vehicles instead of walking or lazy to exercise, I believe that “Born To Run” will give you a new perspective in running.

    While I was reading the book, I was amazed at Tarahumara Indians; the ability to routinely run ultra distances (over 320 km) at incredible speeds. There was also a theory that the apparent lack of injuries in the Tarahumara Indians is because they run on thin-soled sandals or even barefoot. It was quite impressive. In addition to this theory, I think running on barefoot is actually faster than any other shoes such as spike shoes. However, It is only when we run on the smooth track. As a conclusion, if you are interested in improving your physical condition or want to taste other running cultures, “Born To Run” is such a great choice.
