书籍简介:

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 of have honed the ability to run hundreds of miles without rest or injury. In a riveting narrative, award-winning journalist and often-injured runner, Chris 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.

作者简介:

克里斯托弗·麦克杜格尔(Christopher McDougall)

美国作家。毕业于哈佛大学,后入美联社担任记者,赴安哥拉、刚果和卢旺达报道战事。返美后为《户外》、《纽约时报》、《跑步者世界》等刊物撰稿。曾三度入围全美杂志报道奖。

爱好跑步,但频受脚痛之苦。偶然得知在墨西哥的铜峡谷,隐居着史上最强的长跑族群塔拉乌马拉人。于是穿越峡谷,寻找和族人颇有交情的奇人卡巴洛,一睹这支与世隔绝的部族的真面貌,探得跑步真谛。此间学习塔拉乌马拉人的跑法,脚伤不治自愈,后写下《天生就会跑》一书。

目前在练跑步之余,写下一部作品。

书友短评:

@ Kidz 作者的语言风格还挺难适应的,chomp, chow, gringos….我好像一直都没有完全适应。内容还挺吧,确实挺励志的,关于光脚跑步的部分好像不太科学(?)。 "Think Easy, Light, Smooth, and Fast" —精神状态还是可以领会的!ask nothing from your running, and you'll get more than you ever imagined. @ 今在 Running is more about lifestyle and the nature of freedom. > Achilles tendon, arches, gluteus maximus, and nuchal ligament all evolved to help humans run better. >> Quadrupeds run, one-breath-per-locomotion cycle; human runners, inhale every two steps and exhale every two steps. >>> Dissipate heat through sweating.

书籍目录

  • 境况越是糟糕,我们就越拼命去跑。美国的长距离耐力跑运动经历过三次大起大落,每一次兴起都是在国家遭遇危机的时期。第一次是在大萧条时代,两百多个跑步者每天跑四十英里,跨越了美国本土全境,同时掀起了一股浪潮。之后渐渐平息,在七十年代初卷土重来,当时的美国人刚刚经历过越战、冷战、种族暴乱、一名总统犯罪和三名领袖遇刺的打击。第三次则是在9.11过后一年,越野跑忽然成了全美发展势头最猛的户外运动项目。这三次起落或许并非偶然,也许是因为人类心理存在者某种开关机制,意识到危险来临时,就会激活最原始的求生本能。在缓解压力和营造快感方面,跑步甚至比性更为有作为。人类天生就具有奔跑的欲望,需要做的只是将它释放出来。

  • 以前在加州山区有个叫做戈帝·安斯雷的家伙,他养的母马跛了脚,无法参加全球首屈一指的西部山路耐力赛马,于是他决定单人参赛。当天他出现在起跑线上,脚穿运动鞋,在内华达山脉的山路上足足跑了一百英里。途中他从小溪喝水,每到一处急救站就由兽医检查身体状况,最后跟赛马一样在二十四小时内完成比赛,而且离时限还有十七分钟。当然了,这家伙不会是加州唯一的疯子,所以第二年又有一个跑者在赛马比赛中亮相,隔年又有一个„„直到1977年,所有赛马全部消失在比赛中,西部耐力赛正式成为世上第一个项百英里人类赛跑。
