On April 23rd, New York Times bestselling author Christopher McDougall released his latest book. In Natural Born Heroes, Chris tells the story of World War Two resistance fighters on the Greek island of Crete. In an effort to discover the keys to their incredible fight against the invading Nazi force, Chris travels to Crete and investigates their culture, diet, and fitness ability.
As part of his research, Chris found the nearest parkour coach (me!) and took part in several training sessions. We had a great time training, sharing ideas, and discussing the story. Don’t worry, I won’t spoil it! Be sure to get your own copy of Natural Born Heroes and let me know what you think!
To promote the book’s launch and introduce its concepts, Chris is leading an ensemble of heroes around the United States and Europe. The Hero Tour features presentations by Dan Edwardes (Parkour Generations), Dr. Julie Angel (See & Do), Tara Wood (Wild Fitness), Liz Miele (standup comic), and others. Chris invited me to accompany him on the tour to give attendees an opportunity to experience parkour training for themselves.
