Running, Tarahumara Style

There was a really interesting story on Bob Edwards Weekend this sunday about the Tarahumara Indian style of running. They run crazy distances without stopping, like 150 miles. Clare and Jen, this is for you guys...

I can't post a direct link to the show but go here and click on the first Saturday May 16 9:22 pm post. It's the 'author Christopher McDougall' story.

Here's a brief blurb on the story.
