Running and fitness guru Eric Orton has spent a lifetime learning and thinking about running-from his own struggles as a sickly child seeking strength and physical freedom, through a career as a university fitness director, to an astounding, philosophy-affirming adventure with the Tarahumara runners of Mexico. He trained author Chris McDougall during the writing of Born to Run, and is now a professional coach, working with marathon runners and spreading the word through his training website runningwitheric.com.
