Treat this book as somewhat interest-peaking and entertaining, but not scientific. Some truths regarding the tribe’s history, poor evidence or research with the barefoot running bit. Kind of Malcom Gladwell-ish in how the author seems to bank on the reader trusting statements made.
Makes the reader itch to go for a run!

This book was definitely an interesting read. I loved learning about the the world of ultra running and I’m even a little inspired to kick the shoes and try a barefoot run.

2019: I liked this so much more than I remember.
2013: This made me want to be an ultra marathon runner. Of course, first I would have to be a marathon runner and I think we all know that isn't going to happen. I mostly liked this, especially the part about the race. I think the title is a bit misleading. The book was more about running generally than about the Tarahumara, who in many cases are just ancillary to the anecdotes.
