When a Simple Question Unlocked an Ancient Secret
Deep in Mexico's Copper Canyons, where cliffs plunge deeper than the Grand Canyon and drug cartels guard their territory with high-powered rifles, lives a tribe that shouldn't exist. The Tarahumara can run 435 miles without stopping-that's like jogging from New York to Detroit. They do it in sandals made from old tires. They fuel themselves with corn beer. And they suffer virtually no injuries while 80% of modern runners in $200 high-tech shoes end up hurt every year. This contradiction began haunting Christopher McDougall after a doctor told him his body simply wasn't built for running. If that were true, why could these Stone Age athletes outrun Olympic marathoners? The answer would challenge everything we believe about human potential, athletic performance, and what our bodies were actually designed to do.
