Being able to run any nutrition rich game into the ground is what enabled us to survive and consistently get enough food operate a big brain.

Distance running is what made us human.

I am of the same opinion ("Born to Run" and "Natural Running" both support that belief).

When I run, I feel I am doing something very natural, very primal. It just feels right!

Movie “Zulu:” I recall hearing those tribesmen could get up in the morning, run 40 miles, then fight a battle.

Looks like these natives of North America could run 100 miles, and then fight a battle.

These guys are endorphin junkies, to the max.

Aerobic exercize causes the human body to release endorphins into the blood, which are painkillers, and produces a mild euphoria.

aka “runners’ high”
