scout_jones's review against another edition
Not really for beginners, more like athletes that have slowed down a bit and want to get back to a high level. also my bad for choosing the audiobook version - 100% would make more sense in print.

Now that I have a break from classes I can update my goodreads.
Decent book. I like nonfiction sequels. But the ending was a bit boring. And then all of a sudden. I was surprised he took some cheap shots at [a:David Goggins|17977069|David Goggins|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1540359151p2/17977069.jpg]. I hope David responds and calls him an MFer.
Wish I had the downloadable pdf for this book. I don't understand he keeps talking about the Raramuri, I thought they were the Tarahumara. So what I don't get is he says you want to stay in the air so you're feet don't hurt. Yet, he says to do quick steps. That's more time on your feet.
He talks about the training plan like a dozen times.
Notes:
He says music is an audio IbuProfen.
Pushing with a stroller helps make your run better because of the quick pitter patter.
The injury rate for runner's is 70%.
To reboot your running, focus on these 3 goals: flatten your footwear, quicken your cadence, find a friend.

He said the healthiest diet is from Crete. Which means no grains, fruits sugars, low fat milk.
On any given day we have 160,000 calories on tap. 90,000 of those calories are in fat. Your body treasures fat and likes to save that for last to burn.
One in three people are pre-diabetic but 80% of those people won't find out until it's too late. COVID increases your risk for diabetes by 40%.
Most injuries come from spending too much time on the ground.
Breath dictates failure/success.
Shoes should be half an inch longer than your longest toe.
He says to take out the insoles of shoes.
Soreness and tightness are red flags for running. You shouldn't feel that after running.

he shares the story of the Caballo Blanco dying. I'm not sure if this was shared in [b:Born to Run: A Hidden Tribe, Superathletes, and the Greatest Race the World Has Never Seen|6289283|Born to Run A Hidden Tribe, Superathletes, and the Greatest Race the World Has Never Seen|Christopher McDougall|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1631519495l/6289283._SY75_.jpg|6473602]?Wish I had the downloadable pdf for this book.

Obviously the science isn't very solid, it's a book filled with anecdata trying to sell you on barefoot running, but if that's something you're looking to incorporate, the previous book is a good start, and this one gives useful tools in the right direction. What it fails to emphasise is that minimalist running isn't for everyone (which is my understanding from the other research I've done) and that it isn't the only way to injury-free running, but that's exactly what this book states. The stories are fun, but mostly padding, and are written in a sensationalist style. Entertaining but not very credible. Read these books with a critical mind and take the useful nuggets, which are there, with you and leave the rest.

After listening to Running with Sherman, I was curious about the training regimen assigned to McDougall by Eric Orton. While I'm not training for anything at the moment, and really don't think I can give up the rest of the things that I love to do in order to train for any sort of race, I was fascinated by the exercises and characters described in the book.
