I love that there is another reference to Born to Run on HN. I think that the book appeals to the hacker in us with the way Chris McDougall ignores any pre-conceived notions of running and just starts looking for what is the simplest answer that works? Shoes? Why use them when your feet are evolved into perfect shock absorbing springs. Training Schedules? Here is this tribe of people who run only for the joy of it and to get where they want to go and they are some of the best runners in the world. The whole book reads like a great paper. It makes something that once seemed complicated simple, and after you wonder how you could ever have thought that it was complicated.
