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"-- $c Provided by publisher. 520 $a 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. 600 10 $a Kreipe, Karl $x Kidnapping, 1944. 600 17 $a Kreipe, Karl. $2 fast 611 27 $a World War (1939-1945) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01180924 648 7 $a 1900 - 1999 $2 fast 650 0 $a World War, 1939-1945 $x Underground movements $z Crete. $z Crete. 650 0 $a Soldiers $z Crete $z Crete $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Heroes $z Crete $z Crete $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Long-distance running $z Greece $x History. 650 0 $a Physical fitness $z Greece $x History. 650 0 $a Heroes $x History. 650 0 $a Physical fitness $x Philosophy. 650 0 $a Athletics $x Philosophy. 650 7 $a HEALTH & FITNESS / Exercise. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a TRAVEL / Special Interest / Adventure. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a HISTORY / Military / World War II. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a Athletics $x Philosophy. $2 fast 650 7 $a Heroes. $2 fast 650 7 $a Kidnapping. $2 fast 650 7 $a Long-distance running. $2 fast 650 7 $a Physical fitness. $2 fast 650 7 $a Physical fitness $x Philosophy. $2 fast 650 7 $a Soldiers. $2 fast 650 7 $a Underground movements, War. $2 fast 651 7 $a Greece. 651 7 $a Greece $z Crete. 655 7 $a History. $2 fast 941 $a 37 952 $l DPPE403 $d 20240611013030.0 952 $l ALPE516 $d 20240417013220.0 952 $l GZPE631 $d 20240305033706.0 952 $l CJPC482 $d 20240202015608.0 952 $l SMPE094 $d 20240104013457.0 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20231012013029.0 952 $l GMPD771 $d 20230210015303.0 952 $l SIPD314 $d 20230201014637.0 952 $l GCPC771 $d 20230125012109.0 952 $l YFPC572 $d 20221022012805.0 952 $l FXPH314 $d 20220909034553.0 952 $l YCPD572 $d 20220518020110.0 952 $l GYPE631 $d 20220405022221.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20200110062305.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20191017010545.0 952 $l XXPH787 $d 20181107050208.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20181006084148.0 952 $l MWPB943 $d 20180712041947.0 952 $l MTPB743 $d 20180711031912.0 952 $l DXPB423 $d 20180710021703.0 952 $l VXPE964 $d 20171214015939.0 952 $l HNPC845 $d 20171116012035.0 952 $l SCPC074 $d 20170728024756.0 952 $l GDPF771 $d 20170418105838.0 952 $l GAAX314 $d 20161014012252.0 952 $l XAPE737 $d 20160923035238.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20160826111351.0 952 $l D8PD522 $d 20160407024107.0 952 $l GUPF501 $d 20160326011314.0 952 $l ESPD725 $d 20150901010513.0 952 $l YTPG232 $d 20150624013521.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20150624010746.0 952 $l CBPF522 $d 20150519011603.0 952 $l S1PD771 $d 20150502024618.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20150502014253.0 952 $l KIPB845 $d 20150420131910.0 952 $l BGPE251 $d 20150410011029.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=967DF2C6DDB411E48328BAE0DAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
