Powerful Living","description":"In this episode, we are joined by Michael Miller to discuss his book  Run Like a Rar\u00e1muri : Stories and Wisdoms from the Sierra Tarahumara and Running Long and his deep connection to the Indigenous Rar\u00e1muri \u201crunning people\u201d of Mexico\u2019s Sierra Tarahumara. Drawing on years spent living among the community, Michael shares how running is woven into their social fabric as a celebration of resilience, nature, and togetherness rather than competition or performance. The conversation explores powerful cultural concepts like korima, the practice of sharing without expectation, and how movement in nature can restore balance and contentment in modern life. Michael also reflects on the legacy of Micah True (Caballo Blanco) and the evolution of the Ultramarathon Caballo Blanco race, which now brings together runners from around the world while supporting local communities. We consider what trail runners can learn from the Rar\u00e1muri about simplicity, presence, and reconnecting with the deeper purpose of running. Ultimately, the discussion suggests that \u201crunning like a Rar\u00e1muri\u201d is less about technique and more about learning to live with gratitude, connection, and joy.
