About this listen

The original Born to Run ignited a global barefoot running movement, inspiring a generation to step outside and explore the world on our own two feet: Free from injuries. Free from stress. Free from overpriced shoes and gear and race fees. But how do we start?

Christopher McDougall and long-time coach and running wizard Eric Orton have answered with Born to Run 2: The Ultimate Training Guide, teaching every runner, new or experienced, how to master humankind's first true superpower and tap into hidden reserves of strength and stamina. With chapters dedicated to the Free Seven—Food, Fitness, Form, Focus, Footwear, Fun and Family—we learn exactly how to change our biomechanics, clean up our diets, heal our injuries, adapt to healthier footwear, and prepare for our dream challenge.

Packed with advice and inspiring stories from runners who have made the transition, it includes:

  • A rock-solid food primer on optimum diet and power-packed On the Run recipes
  • Techniques for running with dogs and baby buggies to help you run with the whole family
  • 'Perfect Form' exercises that will overhaul your stride in less than ten minutes
  • A 90-Day Run Free Programme designed to give everything you need to run faster, farther and forever.

Drawing on lessons learned from Mexico's legendary Rarámuri and decades of running research and experiences, Born to Run 2 truly is The Ultimate Training Guide.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Expected a lot from this book after reading the physical copy of the first book. The message the writer wants to bring attracts me and I definitely appreciate the effort. Too be honest I think the physical copy would be a lot better compared to the audiobook. The part that annoyed me the most about this is that there’s hours of ingredients/cooking instructions that the reader goes through (I ended up skipping some of it). Also the movement/strength/injury instructions and references to the training app are way too present imo. This would all be so much better explained with a simple picture in the pdf as done in the book.

Not as good as expected

Love the story, the training tips and how easily explain.
Now let’s get to work!

Big fan

The book is a mix of practical training tips (drills, recipes etc.) and stories. It was interesting enough but sometimes seemed to go off on a tangent. There was a useful chapter on recognising, dealing with and preventing injuries. I haven’t looked at the downloadable PDF yet but the recipes are meant to be included in it and there is a link to watch videos of the training drills.

Interesting and useful

I had stopped running through injury to my feet, toe, knee and hips, and thought i wouldnt run again. After reading this I took on board the training techniques, changed my running shoes, my gait, my cadence and I've been injury free and enjoying life again. Outstanding books.

I was originally put off purchasing this book due to reading some negative reviews and the fact that I loved the first Born to Run so much and didn’t want to be disappointed by the sequel . I really wish I hadn’t let myself be swayed. This book is truly wonderful. It’s an extremely engaging and seamless mix of story and technical information, and it’s beautifully narrated. I went on to purchase the book itself which is well worth it for the beautiful photography and it’s handy to have all the exercises, tables and recipes to hand, (although those are included in the PDF that comes with the audiobook.) I love the freshness the authors bring to the world of running and to date this is my very favourite book on the subject ..and I’ve probably read most of them ! I can’t recommend highly enough .

Utterly brilliant!
