The Taramuhara are an invisible

workout I struggled to stay with the people I could so easily run with last year. My body felt bigger, my plantar was hurting, and I could tell that my confidence wasn’t the same. The first race was pretty good, but the next races kept getting progressively worst. We traveled as a team to Lewis University to race a 6k and after the race, we were going to change out of spike real fast to run a longer cooldown that would count for our long run.

paradox to what it aims to do—keeping our mind, body, and spirit healthy. It seems that our advancement in the systems of technology, health, justice, and everything in between has been causing more harm than good. According to the non-fiction text, Born to Run, McDougall describes how the Tarahumaras seem to grasp the essence of our advanced societal problems with such simplicity.
