Una historia tremendamente entretenida que cambi

por completo la forma en que corremos. Una aventura epica que comenz

con una simple pregunta-

Por que me duele el pie?

Aislados por las peligrosas Barrancas de Cobre en Mexico, los apacibles indios Tarahumara han perfeccionado durante siglos la capacidad de correr cientos de millas sin descanso ni lesiones.

En este fascinante relato, el prestigioso periodista -y corredor habitualmente lesionado- Christopher McDougall sale a descubrir sus secretos. En el proceso, nos lleva de los laboratorios de Harvard a los t rridos valles y las gelidas montanas de Norte America, donde los cada vez mas numerosos ultra corredores estan empujando sus cuerpos al limite, y finalmente a una vibrante carrera en las Barrancas de Cobre entre los mejores ultra corredores americanos y los sencillos Tarahumara. Esta increible historia no solo despertara tu mente; ademas inspirara tu cuerpo cuando te des cuenta de que, de hecho, todos hemos nacido para correr.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

The astonishing national bestseller and hugely entertaining story that completely changed the way we run. An epic adventure that began with one simple question- Why does my foot hurt?

Isolated by Mexico's deadly Copper Canyons, the blissful Tarahumara Indians have honed the ability to run hundreds of miles without rest or injury. In a riveting narrative, award-winning journalist and often-injured runner Christopher McDougall sets out to discover their secrets. In the process, he takes his readers from science labs at Harvard to the sun-baked valleys and freezing peaks across North America, where ever-growing numbers of ultra-runners are pushing their bodies to the limit, and, finally, to a climactic race in the Copper Canyons that pits America's best ultra-runners against the tribe. McDougall's incredible story will not only engage your mind but inspire your body when you realize that you, indeed all of us, were born to run.
