This is THE BOOK for running nerds! Full of useful, effective and fun exercises, anecdotes and testimonials. Helped me to strip away all of my bad running habits and rebuild a rock solid form from the ground up. Detailed and precise instructions on how to train your body to run just like the Rarámuri, all wrapped up in 240 pages, with great photographic accompaniment, presented by compelling prose in true Christopher MacDougall fashion! Please buy this because I wish everyone would read it! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great next step *by K***R on November 17, 2024* I’ve read Born To Run multiple times over the years and it never fails to inspire me to run more. BTR2 is a great follow up with all the practical how to information to give me the confidence to not just run more, but to know I’m doing it the right way and truly training as a real runner. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Updates of Born to Run, somewhat unwieldy as a training manual *by T***S on December 24, 2022* Narratives on a few of the runners in Born to Run are interspersed with updates on some of the informational themes of both Born to Run and Natural Born Heroes. These aspects alone make reading the book highly worthwhile. Training tips are scattered throughout the book along with the other content and an overwhelming amount of often full page photos. Flipping pages, this book gives the appearance of a glossy magazine. Many of the photos show only that people of various ages, ethnicities, and physical condition can all participate while maintaining a smile. Most of the photos, though, are of younger athletes in superb condition. The training tips are brought together in a 6-1/2 page chapter titled "The 90-Day Run Free Program." There is a table of prescribed activities for each of 13 weeks. For each day there are a few words directing activities, often requiring looking back to previous sections of the book for clarification. Most interesting to me were the updates on some of the informational themes. There are new stories on the theme of shoes, along with recommendations of specific models. Gone, however, is any mention of Vibram Five Fingers or any other uncushioned shoes. I found this disappointing, as my biggest take-away from Born to Run was a conversion to Five Fingers (which remain my footwear of choice, especially for long ascents or descents). There is a page of food recommendations as part of guidance on using low-intesity exercise to train the metabolism to use stored body fat instead of sugar. Here McDougall partially repeates stories from Natural Born Heroes, but leaves out mention of some of the major figures appearing there such as Dr. Timothy Noakes. A very useful feature of the new book is that it has an index. Overall, I enjoyed reading the many new stories and eventually I'll undoubtedly try some of the training tips. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/461231575-born-to-run-2-the-ultimate-training-guide](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/461231575-born-to-run-2-the-ultimate-training-guide) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-18*
