Are we really born to run? If so, what allows us to run as far as we do for as long (into old age) as we do?

Here’s what Chris McDougall, author of Born to Run, says at his TEDx talk:

Long distance running in huaraches

Posted by | Posted in Huaraches, Running Sandals, Tarahumara running | Posted on 10-07-2010

About once a week I get a call or an email from someone who asks, “Can you run in Invisible Shoes for long runs?”

I usually point out to them that the Tarahumara are known for running ultra-marathons in huaraches, so, Yes.

But some people respond, “Sure, but I’m not a Tarahumara Indian.”

True (but not necessarily relevant).

So, how bout a hometown boy who just ran in his Invisible Shoes huaraches… for SIXTY-EIGHT MILES!

Here’s a picture from Barefoot Jason Robillard after his run:
