2013年第七本 - Born to Run

Born To Run
A Hidden Tribe, Superathletes, and the Greatest Race the World Has Never Seen
By Christopher McDougall
Paperback 9780307279187



Amazon说:

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.

我说:
我从来不是一个喜欢跑步的人
总觉得一直跑呀跑得 没有尽头地跑
还是像羽球这种有球可追得运动有趣
(后来发现 原来我是一个要看到目标然后往目标前进的人)

会选上这本书
是因为前阵子在选运动鞋的时候
好奇于最近各厂家都推出了两个极端的鞋子
在我们一向习惯了的厚层保护 (gel, air etc) 舒适支撑外
最近大行其道的是minimalist鞋子 就是什么保护都没有           
鞋底极薄没有支撑 就像没穿鞋一样的鞋子
为什么呢
对于状况比较特殊的我来说 鞋子是非常重要的
所以在买了一双超贵的厚层保护鞋子之后
我跑去买了这本书 想看看到底barefoot running 是怎么一回事


这本书
真是令人大开眼界
里面有形形色色的怪人
有动不动就在山上跑五十一百里的ultra runners
有很多我不知道的从没听过的事
好像来到了一个全然新奇的世界一样

撇开新奇不谈
足部医生 和这本书的作者的整理结论
我想 两者之间的理论的接纳取舍
其实是一个很个人的决定
也取决于周围环境的资源
比如说 我能不能找到一个真正懂得barefoot running的trainer
来开始进行这样的改变练习训练
它的有效程度又能去到哪里
这些都是未知数

不过很高兴看完这本书就是了
有缘就会遇见下一个贵人贵书吧 哈哈
