So you've read Born to Run, and you're ready to capture some of that Tarahumara magic and supercharge your own running, right?
You want to fuel yourself with the same ancient superfoods that help the Tarahumara run 50 or 100 miles or more, gracefully and seemingly without effort.
There's just one problem. For the modern runner, these foods are a major hassle.
Maybe carrying a satchel of pinole to mix into a coarse, wet paste in the palm of your hand while you're running works in the tribal culture of the Copper Canyon, but it's not exactly convenient in today's world.
And if you've ever tried to stomach a gritty, smoky-tasting pinole drink or to take a few gulps of a gelatinous iskiate, you probably didn't try it again.
But we weren't ready to give up on the promise of pinole and chia so easily. On the morning of a marathon or an ultra, we wanted these Tarahumara superfoods in our corner. Imagine how much better it feels to bring pinole with you when you run, instead of eating the sugary drinks and energy gels or nutritionally-empty bagels that so many modern runners eat in our modern, over-processed world.
So we looked around for recipes that made pinole and chia more convenient (and let's not forget tasty). And when we found that they didn't exist, we knew exactly what we had to do.
We had to invent them ourselves.

But we didn't stop with tasty, healthy, and portable: We made sure that the recipes in this book were simple enough to be made not by chefs, but by endurance athletes who'd much rather be running 20 miles in the woods than stuck inside cooking.
