Published Nov. 13, 2009 by Alfred A. Knopf.
McDougall reveals the secrets of the world's greatest distance runners--the Tarahumara Indians of Copper Canyon, Mexico--and how he trained for the challenge of a lifetime: a fifty-mile race through the heart of Tarahumara country pitting the tribe against an odd band of super-athletic Americans.
É un libro fácil de ler e ate certo punto motivamente, algunhas personas sirvéulles de inspiración, non foi o meu caso. Ou veño motivado de serie ou non lle atopei o lado místico ao libro (tampouco a éste, cagoentó!) mais é entretido e ameno.

Not merely inspiring. I was inspired, say, by Three Cups Of Tea, but I'm not going to go build a school in Afghanistan tomorrow.
Not merely inspiring, but damn motivating. I've logged about fifteen miles since putting this book down.
Putting this book down, incidentally, is something I was unable to do after picking it up. I tore through it in about two and a half days.
McDougall's constant struggle for the "AND YOU'LL NEVER GUESS WHAT HAPPENS NEXT" hook is constant throughout the book and is annoying, but it doesn't detract from the story or lessen its impact.
