Christopher McDougall wasn't even a runner when he came across the Tarahumara Indians of Mexico. He'd been told he was too big. He'd be better off guarding the President or riding a bike than running. But what he found not only changed his life, but those of thousands of runners across the globe. In 2009, Christopher published his now famous book on the Tarahumara, 'Born to Run: A Hidden Tribe, Super Athletes, and the Greatest Race the World Has Never Seen'. Not only did it uncover the secrets of the Tarahumara, who could run incredible distances in super fast times, it opened up his eyes to a whole new way of running. Christopher has gone on to write two more masterpieces on running, 'Natural Born Heroes' and 'Running With Sherman'. But Running Tales wanted to find out a little bit more about the man behind the books that have inspired so many runners all over the world - and caused headaches among those in the big shoe companies. We spoke to Christopher about how his father both embarrassed and inspired him by running laps round his school and going on to run three hour 30 marathons while in his 60s, his life as a war correspondent, and what is it like running with donkeys... -------------------------------- Visit Christopher's website at https://www.chrismcdougall.com/ to find out more about his work and writing.
Our guest today, Austin Meyer, is a documentarian, journalist, podcaster, and animal rights activist, giving a voice to those whose stories might not otherwise be heard. He's worked for HBO, The New York Times, and National Geographic, to name a few outlets, and his filmmaking has taken him to faraway places like India, Nepal, and Zambia, where Austin chose to adopt a plant-based diet. Austin is also a passionate ultrarunner. And on April 15th of this year, with a time of ten hours and seven minutes, Austin showed the world what a vegan athlete can accomplish by winning the Zion 100K Trail Race. This is a must-listen episode for anyone trying to achieve the improbable and for any naysayers claiming it can't be done on a plant-based diet! “I will say one of the interesting elements is that most of the ultra-athletes who I see when it comes to their nutrition game around race day will actually move towards my end of the spectrum when it comes to race day. Like most people aren't eating dairy, they're not having meat when it comes to this day where you need to perform, which is kind of an interesting element.” – Austin Meyer What we discuss in this episode: The major life changes Austin experienced that prompted him to adopt a plant-based diet. How he maintained a plant-based diet while living in a rural village in Zambia. How Austin transitioned to journalism and documentary filmmaking after playing soccer at Stanford. What he experienced and learned about himself in the first few years as an ultrarunner. What Austin eats and drinks while he's training and during a race. What he did differently to win the Zion 100K Trail Race. What Austin is doing to promote veganism. Austin's experiences working with two-time Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Nicholas Kristof.

Like many of us, Seth Smiley used to pay little attention to his health symptoms. Diagnosed with ADHD at 16 and struggling with heartburn from college onwards, Seth believed he'd need over-the-counter meds his entire life. Still slim and training to compete as a long-distance runner, Seth had no reason to believe his underlying health issues were anything to worry about. It wasn't until early in Seth and Jen's marriage that Seth began exploring biohacking, anti-aging, and anything he could do to improve his running time, that the two discovered the power of diet changes. What started with vegetarian meals progressed into veganism and at some point, Jen's Wake Up moment with simple ingredients. In this episode, Seth talks with Jen about his life before clean eating, why men looking to bulk up need clean ingredients just like men hoping to lose weight, what Seth eats in a typical day, and why Seth ultimately decided to leave the law firm he built and join Jen full-time at Wake Up and Read the Labels!

[18:34] - How Jen and Seth's family reacted to their clean eating transformation. [21:20] - What workouts Seth prioritizes. [23:45] - Seth's Wake Up moment. Quotes [10:41] - “I was thin but I didn't know that I was inflamed. And so whenever [Jen] really started to dial-in on the clean eating and really had the wake-up moment about all the ingredients, that's when I weighed the same but my waist size just dropped, almost overnight.” ~ Seth Smiley [11:58] - “It's not a weight loss thing, it is a get your body to be the size it's supposed to be thing.” ~ Seth Smiley [12:30] - “Clean eating just allows you to feel better while you're trying to achieve those personal goals, whether it be [to] work out or your physical physique.” ~ Seth Smiley Links Seth Smiley Born to Run: A Hidden Tribe, Superathletes, and the Greatest Race the World Has Never Seen by Christopher McDougall Vibram The Miracle Morning Bulletproof Coffee Vitamix How To Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill Dave Asprey The Bulletproof Blog The Upgrade Collective Lifespan Podcast with Dr. David Sinclair X3 Bar Elite Variable Resistance Training System TUMS* PEPCID AC* Connect with our host Jen on Instagram Jen on Facebook Wake Up and Read the Labels!

Christopher McDougall is the author of the acclaimed New York Times bestseller Born to Run: A Hidden Tribe, Superathletes, and the Greatest Race the World Has Never Seen. McDougall's epic journey began with a persistent foot ailment that prevented him from running long distances. In his search for a remedy, he ended up in Mexico's Copper Canyons, where he lived with the reclusive Tarahumara Indians, the world's greatest distance runners. Able to run hundreds of miles without rest or injury, these barefoot runners seemed to know secrets that eluded McDougall in his own training. Although he had been told by doctors that he would never run again, McDougall was ultimately able to overcome his injury, find his own inner ultra-athlete, and join the tribe for the challenge of a lifetime, a 50-mile race through the canyons. With the publication of Born to Run, McDougall has been credited with sparking the biggest innovation in modern sportswear: the barefoot-running movement. He is an engaging and inspirational speaker who lectures on how he overcame the mental and physical challenges of being an athlete, all while partaking in the adventure of a lifetime. His message resonates with anyone facing a challenge, and, consequently, he speaks to diverse groups, from university students to fitness enthusiasts and corporate executives. McDougall earned his bachelor's degree from Harvard University. A former war correspondent for the Associated Press, McDougall is a three-time National Magazine Award finalist. He is also the author of Natural Born Heroes: Mastering the Lost Secrets of Strength and Endurance and Running with Sherman: The Donkey with the Heart of a Hero (October 2019). He does his own running in rural Pennsylvania, where he lives with his wife and two daughters. If you have been struggling with running related injuries lately, you don't want to miss this episode. Did you know that according to statistics, somewhere between 30 to 75% of runners are hurt annually. That's a huge number of injuries. Some possible explanations might be modern running shoes to stretching. Running frequency, weight biomechanical misalignment. And or Muslim balance. During this interview. Chris share some simple solutions that can help you restore your body and get you running again. Injury-free. Support the show

Neil details his teaching method to keep his students engaged, entertained and inspired. Borrowed from a method found in Christopher McDougall's 2009 best-selling book, "Born to Run: A Hidden Tribe, Super Athletes, and the Greatest Race the World Has Never Seen.", Neil has adapted it to his own guitar teaching and added in his own ingredient that guarantees a return student ; fun. KEY TAKEAWAYS Easy. Use simple ideas, shapes and forms that regenerate and repeat themselves. Keep things familiar and comfortable and eschew complexity for accessibility and ease. Light. Minimise physical effort. Position and comfort is key. Understand biomechanically correct technique. Smooth. Use a natural, soft style to lead towards a subtle mellifluous sound. Fast. After initial stages of easy routines learned to an automatic level the student will be able to achieve more speed. Fun. The underpinning of all of this. Use jokes and playfulness. Be relaxed, informal, encouraging and supportive. Use language that is fun. ‘Have a play around' instead of ‘Go and practice'. BEST MOMENTS ‘The idea originated with McDougall's running coach, a guy called Eric Orton. He got Chris running a 50 mile trail race in spite of his busted up legs and a string of running injuries.' ‘Cause if it ain't fun the student won't want to do it and I'll get fed up with teaching it because I get fed up with doing anything that isn't fun. There are better ways to spend my time and better ways for them to spend their time. Is that true or is it just true?' ‘You end up with sore fingers as well. The whole ‘playing ‘til your fingers bleed' is just moronic. It's a cliché propagated by idiots and drongos.' ‘However heinous an error, a misunderstanding actually is, I will try and figure out how it's a good thing. If they make a mistake, they've just figured out a cool way to not do something.'

Born to Run: A Hidden Tribe, Superathletes, and the Greatest Race the World Has Never Seen By Christopher McDougall Inspiration for reading this book came when Nico's friend came for dinner wearing these weird-ass shoes. Naturally - he asked him about it, cause Nico love weird stuff, and told him that humans have evolved to walk and run barefoot, and that cushioned shoes are the reason why so many people have issues in their knees, hips and backs, both from running but also from daily life. And the best way to convince Nico of anything is to tell him that ancient humans used to do it differently. So he was immediately convinced and told Sam that they should read Born to Run for the body series. Although, they already started the recordings for the next season on investing. So here they are! Key Takeaways *The power of chia: dissolve chia seeds in water with sugar and lime juice.

In this episode, Melissa and Leah are joined by new mother, Ashlyn Rogers, a massage therapist, competitive runner, and tiny-house dweller. Ashlyn begins by sharing her and her husband's multi-year experience living in a 200-square-foot tiny house, including the discomfort of loft-entry while nine months pregnant, the stress of navigating life with a newborn while in close quarters, and also the value of having an intimate postpartum experience together as a new family. She also shares her journey as a runner, which changed significantly after becoming a mother. Factors such as lack of time and post-delivery recovery have made running a challenge, but its positive impact on her mental health has made it a necessity.The Book Blurb in this episode is from Born to Run: A Hidden Tribe, Superathletes, and the Greatest Race the World Has Never Seen, a memoir by Christopher McDougall.

In this episode, you'll hear how Ralph had extreme leg speed from a very young age, but that it wasn't until his wife gifted him a Garmin that he shifted from workaholic-lawyer, to the man on a mission to break the three hour barrier. Ralph and I discuss his origin story in the sport, speak about the importance of goal setting, mentorship and role models, dive into his eight year marathon journey, and talk about the details of the run-commute. Outside of running, Ralph is a family man and takes it to heart to be well rounded in his career and other hobbies (ask him about his latest endeavors on the piano). Ralph is a well of running knowledge and is always glad to provide guidance, advice or mentorship.

Christopher McDougall was a freelance writer when he came across the story of a tribe of super-athletes living in Mexico's Copper Canyons who'd been living unchanged for 400 years. From that came Born to Run, a chaotic adventure that reads more like a Harlan Coben novel than one of the great works of sporting literature. From drug cartels, murder, an incredible cast of characters and a race through some of the most savage terrain in North America, McDougall tells Simon Clancy about how his classic came to print.

COACH JENNY - EPISODE 38 - SCOTT JUREK: North - Finding My Way While Running the Appalachian Trail with Scott Jurek Scott Jurek is considered one of the greatest long distance runners of all time. He has claimed victories in nearly all of ultrarunning's elite trail and road events including the historic 153-mile Spartathlon, the Hardrock 100, the Badwater 135-Mile Ultramarathon, and the Western States 100-Mile Endurance Run, which he won a record seven times. He is also the New York Times bestselling author of Eat and Run, has been prominently featured in countless publications, and is a star of the international bestseller, Born to Run. In 2015, Scott decided to mark the end of a 20-year career as a competitive runner by undertaking what would be his mind and body's greatest test: establishing a new fastest known time (FKT) for running the entire length of the 2,189-mile Appalachian Trail. In order to set the record, he would run each and every day, rain or shine, for 46 days straight—NO days off— While Scott ran, his wife Jenny who is also an accomplished ultramarathoner, led the support crew, an ever changing motley group of old friends and new acquaintances. In their book NORTH, Scott and Jenny chronicle their amazing journey. This is a conversation with Scott about his new book, this incredible adventure, retirement, and parenthood. Enjoy.

He has claimed victories in nearly all of ultrarunning's elite trail and road events including the historic 153-mile Spartathlon, the Hardrock 100, the Badwater 135-Mile Ultramarathon, and—his signature race—the Western States 100-Mile Endurance Run, which he won a record seven straight times. Scott has also taken the running world by storm with his 2015 Appalachian Trail speed record, averaging nearly 50 miles a day over 46 days—and the United States all-surface record in the 24-Hour Run with 165.7 miles: 6.5 marathons in one day. Off the trail, Scott is a New York Times-bestselling author for his memoir, Eat & Run, has been prominently featured in countless publications, and is a star of the international bestseller, Born To Run. More than just a champion, Scott is a true student and ambassador of the sport, known to stay at finish lines cheering until the last runner crosses. When not racing, he donates his time to many non profit organizations and is an avid volunteer in the areas of environmental conservation, fitness and health. A passionate advocate for vegetarianism, he follows a 100% plant-based diet, which he credits for his endurance, recovery and consistent twenty year racing career. He believes that everyone can run an ultra and everyone can access their body's innate capacity to heal. Through writing, public speaking, and consulting, Scott takes joy in encouraging people of all fitness levels to take the next step toward vibrant health. Scott currently resides in Boulder, CO with his wife, Jenny, and newborn daughter, Raven. Connect With Scott Jurek Online: Official Website - Facebook - Twitter - Instagram

"Turn running into play" - Chris McDougall I am super excited for this episode because my guest is one of my personal adventure heroes! He is the very definition of a curious explorer, and all his work ties back into the simple truth of having fun being a human. Chris McDougall is perhaps best know for his phenomenal 2009 book, Born to Run, where he explores running as a human birthright, by following the Tarahumara indians of Copper Canyon, Mexico. Born to Run is one of the main reasons I started eating chia seeds and got back into train running when I lived in Montana. Born to Run is also currently being made into a movie with Matthew McConaughey. Chris has another amazing new book out in Natural Born Heroes which tells a further story of Cretan resistance runners in WWII, parkour, and human performance. This episode was a ton of fun for me, as Chris and I share a lot of common interests. We go over both his books, and broadly covers diet, running, athletic performance, movement, evolution, and mindset. I think you will be fascinated at how many different ideas Chris can bring into the conversation. If you are at all interested in optimal human performance, running, or health, this is the episode for you! Quotes: "Born to run articulated what people were already thinking" - Chris McDougall "We have a weird notion that other people are better than we are" - Chris McDougall "Turn running into play" - Chris McDougall "Why do we pay people to play our games for us?" - Chris McDougall "We can't pretend we can outthink mother nature" - Chris McDougall "I try to never do what I've done the day before" - Chris McDougall "We are curious about what we don't understand" - Chris McDougall "What is good for the species is good for the individual" - Chris McDougall "We are unstoppable explorers" - Chris McDougall "I practice running with pleasure and not pain" - Chris McDougall "Adventure is ignorance, I live my life by stupidity" - Chris McDougall What you will learn in this episode: -How to take advantage of free elastic recoil (stored energy in your fascia) -The running form technique the the world's most efficient runners use -Why you should consider removing fast burning foods from your diet -How and why you should get into Parkour -How to Vault and Bear Crawl -How to forage for food in an urban environment -How to minimize injury and maximize fat burning -Why Chris refines his running form every couple of years -How you can emulate the virtues of ancient Greek heroes -The mental stages of attempting new movements Continue the adventure: ChrisMcDougall.com The Outside Magazine series The Art of the Hero Born to Run: A Hidden Tribe, Superathletes, and the Greatest Race the World Has Never Seen Natural Born Heroes: How a Daring Band of Misfits Mastered the Lost Secrets of Strength and Endurance The Omnivore's Dilemma: A Natural History of Four Meals Tara Wood Wild Fitness Thanks Chris McDougall!
