We are bringing you an amazing episode this week.

John Luke and Tex speak with author of the widely popular book titled Born to Run.

Chris McDougal is no stranger to the big man's struggle.

Standing at 6'4 inches and well over 200 pounds, he was not what one would consider a naturally adept long-distance runner.

However, Chris's research on the subject led this lifelong athlete to ask the question,

if others his size had been doing it out of necessity for thousands of years, why not him?

Ultimately, these questions led to the publication of Born to Run and his latest book, Natural Born Heroes. This episode is a meaty conversation full of

Chris's historical research and fascinating observations of cultural, social, and psychosocial connections

to the act of athletic performance under stress.

Chris McDougal is passionate about unraveling the wise of human performance.

Hear his take on where we came from and where he thinks our culture is headed.

And why he no longer watches organized sports on TV.

His reasoning for this is searingly true and inspiring.

This is episode 151.
