TED Talk Tuesday: Christopher McDougall

Christopher McDougall spoke at a TEDx event about our natural ability to run.  He suggests that we were born for running long distances.  Over a short distance, we will lose to any other species but we would dominate all others over a marathon course.  Our evolution shaped us into long distance runners- our feet, knees, hips, and sweat glands all propel us forward for a long time.  In this talk, he tells several interesting stories about running across different cultures.

Enjoy!
