520 2  "Author of the phenomenal national best seller, Born to 
       Run, Christopher McDougall now travels to the 
       Mediterranean where he discovers that the secrets of 
       ancient Greek heroes are still alive and well on the 
       island of Crete and in the muscles and minds of fitness 
       enthusiasts everywhere. While researching Born to Run, 
       Chris McDougall encountered the story of Pheidippides, the
       legendary ancient Greek 'all-day runner.' Later, when 
       McDougall met a dedicated amateur historian, he saw a 
       connection to one of the most fascinating mysteries of 
       World War II: How did a small band of Resistance fighters 
       surrounded by German troops kidnap a top German general? 
       What he discovered is that ancestral techniques for 
       extraordinary endurance, natural movement, and nutrition 
       allowed ancient Greek soldiers and Cretan shepherds to 
       race across mountains on all-night missions. Inspired by 
       their heroic acts, McDougall sets off to discover the lost
       art of the hero, both throughout history and across the 
       world. Just as Born to Run inspired casual runners to get 
       off the treadmill, out of their shoes, and into nature, 
       Natural-Born Heroes will inspire casual athletes to leave 
       the gym and take their fitness to nature doing cross-
       training, mud runs, parkour and free-running to bound--and
       climb, swim, skip, wade, and jump--their way to heroic 
       feats"--|cProvided by publisher. 
520    The author of the best-selling Born to Run describes his 
       investigation into ancestral training techniques that have
       enabled Mediterranean athletes to achieve extraordinary 
       levels of strength and fitness.
