Copper Canyon Ultra Marathon - Walking the Course

[509wojtek]

Did Christopher McDougall run leadville 100?

[saffnpepa]

damn, if you guys can walk the marathon in 2 mins 53 seconds, how fast are you at running it. thats fast. has someone called guiness?

ps, guys, women like sexy legs and those tarahumara guys have very sexy legs lol.

stunning scenery. thanks for sharing. i will never be able to visit anywhere as rural and beautiful so seeing it on here makes me feel like i have. used to love to run too, but no-one to run with, too many who want to run against!

It's amazing to watch these videos and see McDougall's people and places come to life. As I attempt to start running with Vibrams, I'm looking for vids that show the Tarahumara running technique, but haven't found any. Ted, any suggestions?

Where was Christopher McDougall?

[barefootted]

@SalvadorLosAngeles this is 2007. McDougall was there in 2006

[SalvadorLosAngeles]

@barefootted Barefoot Ted replied to me. Cool!

[trlkphillips]

Does the guy with the dark green top at @1:55 have six toes on his left foot or am I imagining it?

[magulica]

those sandals wearing by indians seems to me NOT so thin and flexible at all, specially those walking over breage.

Are tires as thick as 4mm or even 3mm Vibram or some of Terra Planta shoes?

[barefootted]

@magulica You are right. What they do NOT have is cushioning or lift. The FEELING of impact is not reduced it you land hard. However, you are spared having to feel every rock and bramble...totally unnecessary to run well.

[touge242]

From Born to Run I got the impression that most Raramuri people don't want to interact with the outside world. Are the runners in this race specially social by their people's standards? Also what does it take to be invited to participate in what looks to be the single most epic 60 mile race on this planet.

One of the best weeks of my life. Thanks for chronicling it, El Mono!

Arnulfo!

Those outfits the Tarahumara are wearing are not at all what I was picturing from the description in the book.

[barefootted]

@stingray7306 Actually, there are different outfits depending on where they live. Lower canyon dwellers wear this outfit. Apparently, those that live more in the alpine regions where a different outfit.

[hayguay]

Awesome vid. What is the song in the video?

[steve51865]

Nice vid BFT.

Who is that girl dancing across the frame at 1:19? Is that La Brujita? And is that you she bumps into?

[kelborn24]

hahahaha probably!

[savannahzmomma1]

Jenn Shelton?

[TwoSet]

jenny

[ArranoGris]

Yeah that's gotta be Jenn...

[jackmcq]

That's Jenn Shelton. I used to work for VBLS where they were lifeguards during this time period, and I had no idea that they were doing this stuff until I read Born to Run. Pretty crazy.

[barefootted]

@steve51865 Yes, that is!
