"Born To Run" chapter 13~20 chapters
McDougall opens his argument about the humans evolving as distance runners by telling the story of his experiences in Mexico and all that he had learned in his journey. He does this by entering each chapter so that the reader will be transported back to a different time periods and different runner's story. It will take place at random, almost chaotically yet McDougall make sure that all of the stories tie together because they all focus on the same thing in his quest to understand the mysteries of the kitchen.
McDougall's Born to run chapters 13-20 details, in (Chapter 13) presents Joe Vigil and Emil Zátopek in (Chapter 15). Vigil is a University Professor and a famous running coach.

McDougall, and the Vigil, make the argument that he was a good athlete, because he was a great person.
