Who has read this book? It is fascinating to me that there are people who can run and not suffer from all of our "modern" foot ailments-- (i.e., how many people do you know who have made it into their 50s without a diagnosis of fasciitis and a prescription for othotics?)so I am really anxious to read this book. I heard that there is some talk about how chia seed was/is used as an excellent energy-food by Mexican runners (we eat chia seed every day here). It certainly would be great to know that there is a way out of buying expensive running gear and that our kids and granddaughters are not doomed to wearing orthotics some day. I also read in one of the 357 reviews (averaging 4 1/2 stars-- phenomenal!) of this book by a review by reader George Macdonald:
"If, when you finish with this book, you don't immediately get yourself outside and run like hell, then there's probably not a drop of living blood in you. This book is the perfect antidote to everything that's wrong with modern running and the way to find everything that's still so right with it. Even if it were all a work of fiction McDougall's tale would still be worth the price of admission. Fabulous."
There is lots to read on-line about this book, but I want the real thing. You can also get it for Kindle.
