If you remove all humble bragging about how Born to Run was such a success and all psuedo-scientific dieting advice， you're left with maybe 20 pages of decent running lessons。 If you remove all humble bragging about how Born to Run was such a success and all psuedo-scientific dieting advice， you're left with maybe 20 pages of decent running lessons。 。。。more

Trash。Bad writing。 No story。 Bad explanations of the program。 Bashing anyone who doesn’t believe in the bare-foot approach。Makes me question if I even liked BTR1。

An easily-digestible read dense with interesting running information geared toward getting a runner back to "the basics"， which is to say away from the trappings of modern-day running culture （e。g。 fitness fads， sophisticated shoes）。 McDougall is who comes to mind when I think of advocates for making the most of running with as little as possible; not only does this carry the potential to be incredibly easy on the wallet， but he emphasizes that running should， first and foremost， remain *fun*。 T An easily-digestible read dense with interesting running information geared toward getting a runner back to "the basics"， which is to say away from the trappings of modern-day running culture （e。g。 fitness fads， sophisticated shoes）。 McDougall is who comes to mind when I think of advocates for making the most of running with as little as possible; not only does this carry the potential to be incredibly easy on the wallet， but he emphasizes that running should， first and foremost， remain *fun*。 This book， while not having the narrative heft that one might expect from his other books， fills the gaps by including recipes， running plans， and strength-building exercises that you can do practically anywhere。 It's a nifty， helpful running guide for any period， but， in this post-pandemic， work-from-home era， there's a certain spark to this sequel that gives it more lift than usual。 Speaking to my own experiences， I had two consecutive foot injuries this calendar year that had my gait way off--I just couldn't get past myself， bypass the fear of future injury， and find my natural， comfortable stride。 This book gave me a tip that had me running comfortably again in minutes， which also sped my pace back up substantially。 Maybe running isn't for everybody， but BTR 2 sure allows for the reader to be in the best spot possible to answer that question。 Many thanks to NetGalley and Knopf， Pantheon， Vintage， and Anchor for the advance read。 。。。more

Didn’t love it。The appeal of B2R1 was the character and narrative driven format。 It acted as an engaging delivery system for transmitting the author’s theory around bare foot running and other incidental running-related info。In B2R2， largely gone are the lovable rogues， most of the personalities from the Tarahumara， and （seemingly） any meaningful first-person character development from the author（s）。What we do have here， is a dry examination of nutritional impacts on performance （undoubtedly leg Didn’t love it。The appeal of B2R1 was the character and narrative driven format。 It acted as an engaging delivery system for transmitting the author’s theory around bare foot running and other incidental running-related info。In B2R2， largely gone are the lovable rogues， most of the personalities from the Tarahumara， and （seemingly） any meaningful first-person character development from the author（s）。What we do have here， is a dry examination of nutritional impacts on performance （undoubtedly legitimate）， a few exercise routines， and （inexplicably） what appeared to be an attempt by the authors to engage in a bit of virtue signaling。 Yes， it’s framed as ‘the ultimate training guide’ but as a sequel to B2R1 I had expected a bit of color and movement。 As it stands， the book is more of an homage to keto/paleo， than the rollicking romp through the Central American canyons I had come to expect。 Not for me。 。。。more
