Summary
Wonderful conversation with NY Times bestselling author Christopher McDougall. Chris is known for such books as Born to Run and Natural Born Heroes. He shares his journey from "not a great teacher" for a year to "falling into" being an AP war correspondent for places like Angola and Rwanda.
We discuss parenting, how he has used his self-diagnosed ADHD to his favor and what a person can do if they want to improve their running right now.
Funny, passionate, smart and a straight-talking guy from Philly. I loved this conversation. Enjoy.
Books:
Born To Run
Natural Born Heroes
Running with Sherman
