A very special Episode 123 of the Big Ass Runner is an interview with Chris McDougal and Eric Orton, co-authors of the book, Born to Run2.

Born to Run, which came out in 2009, is a sensational book and pivotal in the early growth of trail running and the minimalist movement.   The next step was to create a very practical guide highlighting how to take the concepts discussed in Born to Run, and put them into practice.

You'll love this conversation as we discuss the book, how it fits with the original concept, and tons of practical advice for the every day runner.  Don't miss it!
