Passionate Calling One Entrepreneur’s Ha A few miles into his customary run, a blinding pain shot through Christopher McDougall’s foot. Ironic, he thought: the more he tried to get fit, the more his body hurt. The farther he tried to run, the fewer miles he seemed to be able to go. And the more he wanted to push his own limitations, the greater they seemed to push back. While McDougall felt a deep desire to explore these ironies, doing so required the acceptance of certain risk. A writer whose publishing credits include Inc., The New York Times and New York Magazine, his very livelihood depends on being able to travel nimbly whenever a story breaks, wherever it calls. McDougall thought he could write about the journey he was contemplating. This could be a win on both ends: he could deliver a winning book while learning to run pain-free. He weighed the odds and went for it, believing in both the quest for better health and the pursuit of a great story. In the end the risk paid off; he landed a book deal and published “Born to Run. A Hidden Tribe, Superathletes, and the Greatest Race the World Has Never Seen.” The Ques — Edited by Marcus Grim photos by ole hongvanthong/photole photography
