About Christopher McDougall
Christopher McDougall is a longtime runner — and he brings his reporter's eye for detail to the mysteries of running in his book Born to Run. It examines humanity's instinct to run and it's filled with passion, oddly pertinent digressions and deeply engaging journeys to running "subcults." McDougall writes for Outside, Men's Health, New York and other magazines. His other books include Natural Born Heroes and Girl Trouble.
