Born to Run

Honestly I loved almost every piece of this book. The narratives, the racing, the profiles, maybe not so much the science, but I don't really think that's what this story is about.

As long as you don't take too much of the “science” as fact (and resist the urge to start barefoot running throughout whatever city you're reading this from), this book is pure hype on the human body and spirit - and a sport that unites the entire human race.

I've gone through all the personal phases of running as the author and I found myself cheering him on throughout the entirety of the book. Am I inspired? Yes. Am I more hyped on going on my next run? Yes. Did I just sign up for a 50 mile ultra? No. But who cares!

The worst part of this book - he follows every basic Spanish phrase with the exact English interpretation. Give your readers a little faith they know some basic Spanish or can get through with context clues.
