What do you think of the thesis that humans are literally “born to run”? Did McDougall do a good job in proving this theory in the book?
Do you have a favorite character/person?
What do you think of their diet?
Was this book interesting? Did it hold your attention? Was it easy to follow?
What do you think of McDougall’s claim that “less is more” when it comes to shoes?
Do you think this book will have any negative/positive effects on the Tarahumara? On Ultrarunning? On the individual runner?
Do you think that running becomes more popular during hard economic times because people are literally “running away from their problems” like McDougall says?

Have you seen his TED Talk?
Thanks for posting these - I was having the same problem. You've got some great questions, I thought I would share one that I had intended to ask my book club - Before reading this book, had you ever heard of ultra-running or barefoot running? What were your prior thoughts about it? Did this book change that?
Thanks for posting these questions.
