To run an antelope to death, Lieberman determined, all you have to do is scare it into a gallop on a hot day. "If you keep just close enough for it to see you, it will keep sprinting away. After about ten or fifteen kilometers’ worth of running, it will go into hyperthermia and collapse." Translation: if you can run six miles on a summer day then you, my friend, are a lethal weapon in the animal kingdom. We can dump heat on the run, but animals can’t pant while they gallop.
Chris McDougall, Born to Run
PS Just came from S.Paulo. Always good. A little bit expensive. A dinner for 3 in my favourite Jap restaurant(JAM) goes for 450 reais without wine (65 euros for person). A night in the Sofitel in Guarujá could go up to 1,900 reais (ask price). There is no crisis in Brasil. Business is good.
Salaries are much greater than what we pay for a similar position in Portugal. But if you go there you spend all the money in a house.
I did a Bike ride with a group called Ovavo Bikers Sunday morning in S.Paulo. No traffic and ok weather. We did 48km in 2 hours with a big group.
PS1 The book Born to Run is one of the best i ever read.
Takes from the book. If you run with no shoes (no Nikes) there are no injuries and you run faster. If you eat like a poor person you don't go to the doctor. How did man kill animals before inventing the bow and the arch? You just run the animals to death. Man can run longer than any animal on the planet. You can be a high performance athlete without eating meat. This book was offered to me by a NY friend. I thank him deeply for the book.
