In Born for Running, Christopher introduced all kinds of strange people who are good at long-endurance running, including how he went from being easily injured to being able to take part in ultramarathon, bringing out a point that human beings were born for running.

Christopher even put forward a subversive argument: barefoot running is the best. Many so-called running shoes and sports shoes are made by merchants with various gimmicks for profit, and many practical cases and research reports have confirmed that multifunctional running shoes not only have no protective effect on runners' feet, but will increase the chances of injury, and even shoes with high prices are more likely to hurt people than shoes with low prices. Barefoot running is organized in many places. For ordinary people like us, it is not so easy to find an outdoor place suitable for barefoot running, so it is practical to buy a pair of cheap and thin ordinary sports shoes.

In each chapter, some running skills are also revealed sporadically, such as posture: like running forward with a rope tied to the waist, the center of gravity is placed on the lower part of the body, the toes point to the ground, the hip joint is fully exerted, the center of gravity is placed on the palm of the front foot, the back is kept straight, the head is kept stable, the elbow drives the big arm to swing greatly, and the hips are kicked hard after the feet touch the ground to keep relaxed, light, stable and fast; Diet: A kind of plant often eaten by Tarahumara people-a bunch of red, which is equivalent to salmon, spinach and growth hormone, is rich in unsaturated fatty acids, protein, calcium, iron, zinc, soluble fiber and antioxidants.

This book is rich in knowledge, readable and reliable. It's exciting to read, and I have the urge to leave the book and run at any time. It is an excellent running story book and inspirational book, which is worth reading again, evaluating carefully and thinking seriously.
