176. Unlocking Dominance: Exploring Ethiopia's Running Culture with Professor Michael Crawley

176. Unlocking Dominance: Exploring Ethiopia's Running Culture with Professor Michael Crawley

Michael Crawley is an anthropology professor at Durham University in England. A 2:20 marathoner, he spent 15 months training with the best runners in Ethiopia to figure out the secrets to their success.

His book, Out of Thin Air, is a beautiful story of a culture where for many, "running is life."

From their very different relationship to easy runs, metrics and pace, and even the social aspect of running, this episode will open your eyes to a different way of approaching running. But more than that, you'll see how running is life for many in Ethiopia and how the sport is an integral part of the Ethiopian identity.
