Born to Run is an epic adventure that began with one simple question: Why does my foot hurt? Today, Amy talks to inspirational author Christopher McDougall who penned the book that shows us that everything we thought we knew about running is wrong and how to unlock that potential. We learn of the reasons that provoked the writing of this inspirational read, now followed by 'Running With Sherman', which documents the (many) learnings of running with a Donkey (?!), and Chris talks us through some of the running theories and techniques he's picked up along the way that have enabled him to cover the vast distances that he has achieved to date. A shift in pace from the usual chats, but a delightful listen none-theless! Back with us on the cool-down today is the wonderful Annie Clarke, whose stretch you can find at the 42 minute mark.
