Why We Run: A Natural History

Rating:
Summary: Inspiring to runners and anyone else
Review: This book gives a facinating account of an unusual life and an amazing accomplishment. Anyone who like me struggles through their 3-6 miles will be inspired by how the author conquered 62 miles at better than 6:30 miles by considerable talent and extraordinary courage. The other animals are interesting too.

Summary: The best book I've read that combines running and science
Review: This really is a remarkable book about not only the science of running but the science of endurance and survival. Bernd Heinrich combines an autobiographical journal-type approach to launch off into a fascinating scientific inquiry. By studying birds, antelope, camels, bumblebees and frogs (to name a few) he basically comes to the conclusion that all animals rely on endurance in some way or another to survive. The book will possibly be appreciated by runners and athletes more than not but it's full of so much interesting information that it should hold the interest of anyone willing to learn new things.
