Hi, this is Debbie Boyles, coach at Mojo for Running with episode number 93.

You've got to see run free.

I had the opportunity a few months ago to see an amazing documentary film, Run Free, about Micah True,

the ultra runner immortalized in Christopher McDougall's bestselling book Born to Run,

A Hidden Tribe, Superathletes, and the greatest race the world has never seen.

In this episode, I want to tell you about that film where you can see it and how to get it if you can't see it in person.

Tarahomara Indians have honed the ability to run hundreds of miles without rest or injury.

In a riveting narrative, award-winning journalist, an often injured runner Christopher McDougal

sets out to discover their secrets.

In the process, he takes his readers from science labs at Harvard to the sun-baked valleys

and freezing peaks across North America, wherever growing numbers of ultra runners are

pushing their bodies to the limit.

And finally, to a climactic race in the Copper Canyon

that pits America's best ultra-runners against the tribe. McDougal's incredible story will not only

engage your mind, but inspire your body when you realize that you, indeed all of us, were born to run.
