Christopher McDougall writes narrative non-fiction about endurance, running and the human capacity for sustained physical effort. Born to Run follows ultrarunners, researchers and members of the Tarahumara community in Mexico while examining barefoot running, injury and why people run extreme distances. Natural Born Heroes shifts to Second World War resistance on Crete and uses the story to explore movement, strength and endurance training, while Running with Sherman follows the attempt to prepare a rescued donkey for a burro race. McDougall's books are energetic, anecdotal and research-informed rather than instructional manuals. His work fits sports non-fiction, endurance writing and adventure-based popular science for readers interested in running, movement and unconventional training. Read more Less
