By Davy Crockett  This episode is a replay of the popular early episode 29, about the Tarahumara runners of Mexico. In recent years, the story of the amazing Tarahumara (Rarámuri) runners from Mexico exploded into international attention with the publication of Christopher McDougall's best-selling 2009 book, Born to Run. Runners everywhere in 2009 naively tossed their shoes aside for a while and wanted to run like these ancient native Americans from hidden high Sierra canyons in Chihuahua, Mexico. Many other runners left the marathon distance behind, sought to run ultramarathons, and dreamed about running the Leadville 100, which exploded with new entrants. Readers of Born to Run think that the Tarahumara Indians made their debut running in America in 1992. Born to Run features their 1994 race at Leadville, Colorado. It has been falsely claimed that this was the first time that this indigenous people showed up to run outside their native environs. This is not true. Yes, the Tarahumara competed in the U.S. in 1992, but it was not the first time that they displayed their running abilities in the United States. The Tarahumara competed in America more than six decades earlier when they made an even deeper impact on ultrarunning history. Read the entire article about the Tarahumara

In this special on the road episode of the Road Dog Podcast, Luis finds himself deep in the Copper Canyons with the Tarahumara Indians. Listen in as Luis interacts with locals, witnesses a local running game called Rarájipari, records musicians, and gets in way over his head. Rarájipari is a running game played by the Tarahumara (also known as the Rarámuri) people of the Copper Canyons region in Chihuahua, Mexico.[1] The game is played by two teams of four or more players. One member of each team takes a wooden baseball-sized ball and kicks the ball ahead. The members of that team then chase after the ball, pick it up then kick it again. This is usually done for several miles in the casual games. However, in the serious inter-village contests, held after all-night parties, during which much of the Tarahumara corn beer, Tesgüino or Tejuino, is enjoyed by all, the games will often go for distances of 100 miles. Once the game starts, one runner on each team usually pulls into the front and always takes care of the ball. However, after a few miles or after the ball rolls under an outcrop of rock in the canyons, the rest of the team is able to catch up and the front runner is able to fall back into the main group and rest. The game ends when one team finishes the distance agreed upon by both teams prior to the start of the race. Support Road Dog Podcast by: 1.

Christopher McDougall visits Google to discuss his book “Born to Run.” Full of incredible characters, amazing athletic achievements, and cutting-edge science, Born to Run is an epic adventure that began with one simple question: Why does my foot hurt? In search of an answer, Christopher McDougall sets off to find a tribe of the world's greatest distance runners and learn their secrets, and in the process shows us that everything we thought we knew about running is wrong.  Isolated by the most savage terrain in North America, the reclusive Tarahumara Indians of Mexico's deadly Copper Canyons are custodians of a lost art. For centuries they have practiced techniques that allow them to run hundreds of miles without rest and chase down anything from a deer to an Olympic marathoner while enjoying every mile of it. Their superhuman talent is matched by uncanny health and serenity, leaving the Tarahumara resistant to the diseases and strife that plague modern existence.  With the help of Caballo Blanco, a mysterious loner who lives among the tribe, Christopher was able not only to uncover the secrets of the Tarahumara but also to find his own inner ultra-athlete, as 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 Americans, including a star ultramarathoner, a beautiful young surfer, and a barefoot wonder. With a sharp wit and wild exuberance, McDougall takes us from the high-tech science labs at Harvard to the sun-baked valleys and freezing peaks across North America, where ever-growing numbers of ultrarunners are pushing their bodies to the limit, and, finally, to the climactic race in the Copper Canyons. Born to Run is that rare book that will not only engage your mind but inspire your body when you realize that the secret to happiness is right at your feet, and that you, indeed all of us, were born to run.

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.

Barefoot Ted McDonald sprinted into the spotlight with the publication of the bestselling book Born to Run by Christopher McDougall. Barefoot Ted is one of the crazy, larger-than-life characters that springs off the pages of McDougall's recount of their epic adventure to run a 50-mile race in the deadly Copper Canyons of Mexico with the legendary Tarahumara Indians. Growing up as a rebellious skater and surfer in sunny California, Ted was not lacking in athletic skill. But in his mid-30s, he almost gave up on the idea of ever running seriously. Despite his various endeavours to run pain free, nothing seemed to work over the long distance. Until, that is, Ted returned to his beach-based lifestyle and kicked off his running shoes for good. Only then did he really start running. And now, many, many marathons and ultramarathons later, he is not slowing down. Barefoot Ted and I explore many facets of his fascinating journey, including his love of riding penny-farthing bicycles, his ongoing adventures with the Tarahumara Indians – perhaps the greatest long distance runners on the planet, and acting as ‘El Presidente' of Luna Sandals – an adventure and lifestyle sandal company. Barefoot Ted's path in life is to seek and share insights that help people to come alive. His enthusiasm is infectious and his passion palpable. And through all of his seeking, some things about Ted are likely to never change: he'll continue to surf, continue to run, and continue to follow his truth through whatever parts of himself it leads.

That's from the movie Forrest Gump, when Forrest (played by Tom Hanks) runs in scene after scene after scene. I didn't realize it, but the producers where conveying a message, of the running craze that spread across the us in the 1970s. Running statistics…Since then, running has captured the attention of millions of Americans. Thousands of road races and marathons occur each year, and running is the sixth most popular exercise in the United States. Surprisingly the statistics show that the tendency is to decline from a start of just under 2 mil in 2000, Peaks in 2016 with 10 million just recreational runners. Amazing for something that goes back to Ten thousands of years ago, hunter-gatherers like the Tarahumara Indians in Mexico, ran 15-75 miles a day on the hunt. African Bushemen chasing down a gazzle…. To normal every day middle of the pack runners aspiring to do a run challenge, or set a personal best, or hey run the 5K park run right up to marathon Which brings us to YOU: Welcome runner… tell me how are you currently doing? I am asking with the intention of understanding. So answer yourself without harsh words, or funny belittling remarks. You, today, this moment in time.. year is almost over. With regard to your running of course. What is your summary. Perhaps you where plagued by injury. I hope not. But you know it happens sometimes and maybe the injury took a long time to heal, rehabilitations… but surely you managed to squeeze in some runs before or of late. Maybe you had the year 2020 planned out with different venues and races you wanted to participate in. Or achieve a best time. Did it work out for you? Or are you full of regret?.... Speaking of regret… I was supposed to go and join my good Friend Morten and run a marathon in Spain with him. Picture this I am the organizer, daughter will come along, we all meet in the lovely seaside town of Tarragona eat, run and enjoy. Well I couldn't do the trip actually. I came down with I don't know what… I remember I felt awful and couldn't attend the race. Very disturbed I couldn't do that. Hey maybe your last race didn't end the way you expected it to. And you sat there the rest of the days pondering as to what might have been, how it could have changed. But again lighten up. You know not every year is linked with some or other great success. Especially the COVID year. Maybe you managed to lower your avg mileage and got some much required rest time. All good… except… if whilst pondering your year you realized, definitely not a trace of Forest Gump inside your run story. Not even a hint of running to the end of town. Is it because… perhaps maybe … you where continuously struggling? Struggling to get out of the house? Or struggling to run the distance. Struggling to put in a effort. Struggling to test yourself. What I mean is… Are the distances getting shorter, the run times too? Or maybe your run calendar entries have a lot of blank spaces in between them no matter how close you look you cannot explain or reason that this was some or other plan.

Welcome to Episode 11 of One Step Beyond, a show that encourages you to take a step outside your comfort zone and enrich your life.Ten years ago, Bill Hoffman was just another busy, middle aged, married 40-something father carrying an extra 40lbs of weight around his midriff. He hadn’t run since high school, and had barely engaged in any other athletic activity during those 25 years either. Then he read Born To Run, the best-selling book by Christopher McDougall, and took more than a step outside of his comfort zone. He took a step outside his shoes as well. Inspired by the notion of minimalist footwear as practiced by the Tarahumara Indians of the Copper Canyons, the featured 'Hidden Tribe' of Born To Run, Bill bought a pair of Vibram Five Fingers, and started running again, a mile or so at a time, alternating with his bare feet, and before he knew it, he had qualified for the Boston Marathon.Bill has now run over 40 marathons and ultra-marathons, including Boston five times, and the feared and revered Leadville 100 twice. Not once has he competed in "normal" shoes. He does all his running now in the open Luna Sandals, the Tarahumaras' huaraches as made by another star of Born To Run, Barefoot Ted. On the last Friday of August, I drove to meet Bill at the Albany Pine Bush Preserve and try the sandals myself. While we ran together, Bill explained why shoes are not good for you and how anyone can follow in his own footsteps to athletic success - unshod, that is. We also talked the importance and influence of Born To Run, the madness that is the Leadville 100... and Barefoot Ted himself.Resources for this episode:(All links can be found at https://shows.acast.com/onestepbeyond/episodes/ep-11-take-a-step-outside-your-shoes)Bill Hoffman's TED Talk, From Couch to Ultra Marathon Bill's article on the Luna Sandals blog.

Steven Sashen is the CEO of Xero Shoes. Xero Shoes is a type and brand of lightweight minimalist footwear for walking, running, and athletics, the footwear has thin and flexible soles that are contoured to the shape of the human foot. Xero Shoes was featured on ABC's Shark Tank and gained success after the show's appearance. A high-school sprinter, Steven Sashen got back into the sport after a 30-year break. However, after two years of injury-prone competition, he joined a local barefoot running club in Boulder, CO at the suggestion of a friend who gave him a copy of Born To Run by Christopher McDougall. As a result of running barefoot, his gait changed and injuries abated. Sashen wanted to continue the barefoot experience in areas which required foot covering, so he developed his own modern huarache-style sandal similar to those worn by the Tarahumara Indians in Mexico’s Copper Canyon, consisting of a thin rubber sole sourced from Vibram in Italy and nylon-polypropylene laces (this original style is now sold as the Xero Shoes "Cherry" in the classic kit). The Xero Shoes have been my favorite minimalist shoes and shoes in general. I learned a lot speaking with Steven the first time so I was glad to be able share some of the information he shared with me.

¿Es usted parte de la diáspora Mexicana en el mundo? Lo invito a escuchar la historia de Joel Salcido un periodista (perfectamente bilingüe) nacido en México y criado desde la infancia en los Estados Unidos de América. Es un fotógrafo y un testigo viviente de la cultura entre Texas y México. Desde el 2012 al 2017 se propuso rescatar las imágenes de las industrias tequileras para mostrarlas en los EUA y México, un trabajo y una ambición personal de búsqueda propia de identidad hasta convertirlas en un libro. Las fotografías de diversas industrias del tequila son también una exposición itinerante que será donada por el autor al Museo del Tequila, en Tequila Jalisco. En otra lectura y contexto, la obra de Joel también significa lo que los Mexicanos somos capaces de crear en una época crudamente racista como la de Trump y su legendario muro. Joel Salcido grew up in a dual cultural reality and sensibility that derived from living along the U.S. and Mexican border. As a staff photographer at the El Paso Times he documented the Tarahumara Indians of Mexico, covered the Mexico1985 earthquake and traveled extensively in Latin America for USA Today. In 1991 he resigned as Photo Editor of the El Paso Times to pursue a freelance and fine art career. Eight years later, he moved his family to Spain to work on his year-long project titled, Spain: Millennium Past. His fine art photographs are now in the permanent collections of the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, the prestigious Harry Ransom Humanities Center at UT Austin, The El Paso Museum of Art, The Austonian and The Wittliff Collections at Texas State University-San Marcos. Both the Federal Reserve Bank in El Paso, Texas and UT San Antonio, have acquired his work for their respective fine art collections. In addition, his Texas Small Town Series was displayed during the China 14th International Photographic Art Exhibition in Lishui, China. This photo essay remained at the University of International Business and Economics in Beijing, China. In 2012, he was part of the Descriptions of China photo exhibit in San Antonio, Texas. This group show was held at the Institute of Texan Cultures in association with the Smithsonian Institution. Salcido was a Fulbright scholarship finalists for a Bolivian photography project in 2004 and in 2005 was nominated for the Art House Texas Prize. His series, "Aliento A Tequila," was published in the December 2013 issue of Texas Monthly. The traveling photo exhibit version of this collection has shown in every major Texas city with it’s national distribution scheduled to start in 2021. The emblematic landscape photograph from the Aliento A Tequila series titled, “Atotonilco el Alto,” was recently inducted into National Art Heritage Collection of Mexico and permanently resides at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Mexico City. This same image was also selected for the 2017 Texas Book Festival poster and presented by former First Lady Laura Bush in Dallas. His book titled, The Spirit of Tequila was released in November of 2017 by Trinity University Press. Most recently, the Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery is considering the acquisition of prints from his portrait series on Texas Mexican American contemporary writers. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/ana-g-valenzuela-zapata/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/ana-g-valenzuela-zapata/support

By Davy Crockett  In recent years, the story of the amazing Tarahumara runners from Mexico exploded into international attention with the publication of Christopher McDougall’s best-selling 2009 book, Born to Run. Runners everywhere in 2009 naively tossed their shoes aside for a while and wanted to run like these ancient native Americans from hidden high sierra canyons in Chihuahua, Mexico. Many other runners left the marathon distance behind, sought to run ultramarathons, and dreamed about running the Leadville 100, which exploded with new entrants. Readers of Born to Run think that the Tarahumara Indians made their debut running in America in 1992. Born to Run features their 1994 race at Leadville, Colorado. It has been claimed that this was the first time that this indigenous people showed up to run outside their native environs. This is not true. Yes, the Tarahumara competed in America, in 1992, but it was not the first time that they displayed their running abilities in the United States. The Tarahumara competed in America more than six decades earlier when they made an even deeper impact on ultrarunning history. The story of the Tarahumara was only half told by Christopher McDougall. Their early running stories have been forgotten and need to be retold. This is the story of the Tarahumara before Born to Run. The Tarahumara are introduced to America Tarahumara in 1892 Frederick Schwatka In 1889, America was first introduced to the Tarahumara by an American exploring expedition that traveled through Mexico and published a long facinating multi-part article in many newspapers. The author, explorer, Frederkick Schwatka (1849-1892) wrote,"The Tarahumari tribe of Indians are not at all well-known, for I doubt if one reader in a thousand of this article have ever heard of them. The savage Tarahumari lives generally off all lines of communication, shunning even the mountain mule trails if they can. His abode is a cave in the mountain-side or under the curving of some huge boulder on the ground." Schwartka gave a brief mention of the Tarahumara running abilities, "In the depth of winter, with snow on the ground, the Tarahumari hunter, with nothing on but his rawhide sandals and a breech-clout, will start in pursuit of a deer and run it down after a chase of hours in length, the thin crust of snow impeding the animal so that it finally succumbs to its persistent enemy.' Carl Sofus Lumholtz Norwegian explorer Carl Sofus Lumholtz (1851-1922) lived among the Tarahumara for more than a year. In 1894 he published a book, In the Land of Cave and Cliff Dwellers and lectured to American Geographical Society about the people. "Mr. Lumholtz found the Turahumari unyieldingly opposed to the use of his camera on them until the fortunate day arrived when his photographing was followed by much-needed rain. Ever after the use of the "rain maker," as the camera then came to be known, was sought as a favor." He mentioned about "their fondness for extensive foot contests, of which careful account is kept by a simple system of stone counters." But it wasn't until 1905 that America started to have a true fascination with the Tarahumara Indians. Articles appeared across the country telling tales of “the most interesting tribe in the world.” They were described at that time as being a “savage” people of about 30,000 who seemed to be untouched by modern civilization and lived in the northern portion of the Mexican Sierra Madres. The Tarahumara were thought to be the only tribe on the American continent who still made homes in hillside caves similar to the cliff-dwelling ancient Anasazi found in the southwest United States. There were no highways to their towns. They had their own native language and only a few of them spoke Spanish well. The men usually went shirtless and shoeless. They had their own government but were subject to Mexican authorities. Crime was almost nonexistent except for drunkenness.

Steven joined a barefoot running club, and before he knew it he had run 5k without even realizing it, BAREFOOT! As a sprinter, never having ran more than a mile previously, he was fascinated with the idea of barefoot running and started to dive into the research which led him to founding Xero Shoes!   One aspect that Steven is proud of with Xero shoes is their ability to give back to the tribe that originally got the barefoot movement started, the Tarahumara Indians, also known as the Raramuri.

Many have come to know about Barefoot Ted through the pages of Christopher McDougall’s best-selling book Born to Run Barefoot Ted spent over a decade mastering natural running techniques, and is an accomplished athlete known for self-experimentation and testing his natural human capabilities. He is founder and president of LUNA Sandals, the adventure sandal company based in Seattle, and Solowheel Seattle, the one-wheeled urban transporter company he started in 2014. In 2003 Barefoot Ted McDonald was on a seemingly simple mission: to learn how to run pain-free. That simple desire led him down a rabbit-hole of a quest to learn as much as he could about natural running form, the natural selection of footwear, and the evolution of human movement. On his journey he re-discovered that the human body is not broken by design – humans have an amazing capacity to move well solely with their own equipment – their bodies. As he learned more about the natural selection of footwear in human cultures, he kept finding the simple sandal as the footwear of choice for many cultures past and present. This fascinating quest into the world of movement, running, and simple footwear led him to a man named Caballo Blanco and into the Copper Canyons of Mexico in 2006; the story of which is famously chronicled in Christopher McDougall’s best-seller, Born To Run. Nowadays Barefoot Ted heads up a minimalist shoe company called Luna Sandals based on the sandals used by the Tarahumara Indians in Mexico. He is also a proponent of the solowheel and believes this relatively new way to get around will become a phenomenon.

He was inspired by the legendary Tarahumara Indians who, fueled with chia seeds, are the ultra endurance runners described in the book “Born To Run.” Gluck talks about what it takes to build something from scratch and how building this business changed his life for the better. Lessons:     1.    Follow your passion even if it means struggling through hardship to find it.
     2.    Celebrate the wins; don’t dwell on the losses. 
     3.    Focus on the big picture of how it’s going to work without getting mired in the day to day problems.

Oh we all have that little curiosity for the strange and unusual in us.   Some, I would say, more than others. I like to think I have a pretty healthy amount of it.  Going in search of the road or path less taken, searching out broken toys, trying to find the things in life that break the traditional norm.  That... is why I am obsessed with Atlas Obscura. I came across their show one day when it popped up on my Facebook feed.  It was a video, and I was driving at that time (I know, I know, eyes on the road!), but I clicked it to listen, and was instantly hooked.  I didn't even know it was a video, here I was tuning in thinking it was your standard podcast.  I probably heard about 5 episodes on the transit home.  When I got home and looked at my phone, I realized they were all videos, and then instantly had to go back through to listen and watch them all.  Their videos are hilarious.  The gentleman (Dylan Thuras) takes you on a journey to a spectacular place.  His face pops up on screen, and in that moment you realize his passion for what he is about to tell you.  Surrounded by a decent collection of board games (I knew we would get along), Dylan can show you a world you never saw before, sometimes in your own backyard. We hit it off right away, being kindred folk in search of magical things.  Tune in as I find about the origin of Atlas Obscura, how the two co founders met, what Neil Gaiman said about them (what!), where they are off to next, and also our rants about how we love immersive theater.  Truly an awesome conversation. ALSO, subscribe to my newsletter to hear the extra audio from Dylan about another fun location, and a tip for user of the Atlas Obscura website!  You guys get it first! The videos themselves are hilarious, you must watch them.  I intend to find out who has the unique sense of humor over at Atlas Obscura that has me laughing out loud.  I am sure you want to know as well.  Join me as I chat with Dylan about the history of Atlas Obscura, how it became created, and where they are off to next!  Check out their new podcast they started!  So excited I can take them with me wherever I go!  I plan on visiting them in NYC! QUESTION! Have you been to any of the 100 wonders spots?  Tell us about it in the comments!
