Good article

"They stay secluded by remaining down in the depths of this vast network of canyons. One reason they haven't blazed across the competitive circuit is because our kind of running is really stupid and foreign to them. We bust out as fast as we can from gun to tape, and the Tarahumara don't do that. Humans are built for endurance, not speed. We're awful sprinters compared to every other animal. We try to run our races as if they were speed races, but they are not. They're endurance races. Even a marathon, the way it's run now, it's not an endurance contest. But the Tarahumara do two things that are different: they run as a group. Secondly, they alternate between bursts of effort and recovery."

Interesting Find Dan.

Anyone heading to Mexico any time soon... I think I got to look up those Tarahumara.

Not only is their style of running different, they also do not use such sophisticated foot wear as "modern" runners. They use simple sandals and suffer little injury.
