Always Pouting's Reviews > Born to Run: A Hidden Tribe, Superathletes, and the Greatest Race the World Has Never Seen

I have been trying to get better at running (trying being the operative word) and someone recommended this book when I was talking to them. The book definitely made me want to stick with running and made me think about how it can actually be kind of fun. I also keep straining my calf so I might try out minimalistic running shoes and see if that helps.

I did find the way running is framed as some sort of panacea for the worlds ills to be a bit much though. Also the style of writing is something that I've kind of grown tired of but it's unfortunately the way a lot of contemporary non fiction is written.
