remind your lungs how much they like the taste of air.

If you liked that article (or even if you didn't) Bernd Heinrich's Why We Run is an incredible exploration into the sources and limits of human endurance. Heinrich held the world record for 100k and also is a fairly renowned evolutionary biologist. An incredible book that will turn you into a lunatic like Lynn.

Hi I gave a somewhat similar lecture last winter at the Harvard Science Center, and it was supposed to go online sometime. Not sure when it is available. Here is a pdf of a paper that covers some of the information. All the best, Dan Lieberman
Careful who you're callin' a lunatic there, Mr. Bunnykiller!
