Born To Run

Christopher McDougall's "Born to Run: A Hidden Tribe, Superathletes, and the Greatest Race the World Has Never Seen" — an executable toolkit for unlocking natural endurance, understanding barefoot and minimalist running, learning from the Tarahumara tribe's ancient running wisdom, overcoming injury through form, and discovering the joy of running as play, not punishment. Covers 5 use cases: ① Rethinking Running Form — running lighter, with less injury ("I keep getting injured. Is there a way to run that doesn't hurt my knees/shins/hips?") ② Barefoot and Minimalist Running — transitioning from modern shoes to natural running ("Everyone says I need expensive running shoes. Is that true? How do I start running barefoot?") ③ Building Ultra-Endurance — training for long distances the Tarahumara way ("How do I run a marathon or ultra without destroying my body? What can I learn from people who run 100 miles for fun?") ④ The Joy of Running — finding running as play, not punishment ("I hate running. It feels like a chore. How do I learn to enjoy it?") ⑤ The Science of Human Endurance — why humans evolved to run ("Are humans really built for running? What makes us different from other animals? Why can we outrun horses over long distances?") Trigger when users say: "Running hurts" "I keep getting injured" "Should I run barefoot?" "How do I run better?" "The Tarahumara" "I want to run an ultra/marathon" "Running shoes" "I hate running" "Humans are born to run" "How do I run without pain" "Minimalist shoes" "Running form" or mention: Christopher McDougall / Born to Run / Tarahumara / Rarámuri / Caballo Blanco / Micah True / Copper Canyons / barefoot running / ultra marathon / Leadville 100 / running injury / natural running / Chihuahua / iskiate / pinole / running sandals Also triggers when the user says they just installed this skill or doesn't know how to start — the AI MUST proactively present the Quick Start guide below.
