 Born to Run (song) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Born to Run" is the signature song of the American singer songwriter Bruce Springsteen, and the title song of his album Born to Run.
In the time prior to the release of Born to Run Springsteen was becoming well-known (especially in his native northeast) for his epic live shows, and "Born to Run" quickly joined his concert repertoire well before the release of the album and was performed in concert by May 1974 if not earlier.
In 1987 a video was released to MTV and other channels, featuring a live performance of "Born to Run" from Springsteen and the E Street Band's 1984-1985 Born in the U.S.A. Tour, with the video interspersed with clips from other songs' performances from that tour as well.

 EricEnders.com - Greil Marcus' Review of "Born to Run"
“Born to Run” is the motto that speaks for the album’s tales, just as the guitar figure that runs through the title song — the finest compression of rock and roll thrill since the opening riffs of “Layla” — speaks for its music.
But “Born to Run” is uncomfortably close to another talisman of the lost kids that careen across this record, a slogan Springsteen’s motto inevitably suggests.
Tales of kids born to run who lose anyway, the songs can, as with “Backstreets,” hit so hard and fast that it is almost impossible to sit through them without weeping.

The apparently crucial role of running in human evolution, overlooked for the most part in previous research, is being proposed today in an article in the journal Nature by two American scientists.
Endurance running, unique to humans among primates and uncommon in all mammals other than dogs, horses and hyenas, apparently evolved at least two million years ago and probably enabled human ancestors to hunt and scavenge for food over large distances.
But their ability to run greater distances than other predators must have been an advantage in making a kill or at least scavenging the kills of their swifter rivals.

 Born to run - Science - www.smh.com.au
The findings challenge the common idea that, because humans are relatively weak sprinters, the ability to run or jog was unimportant in our evolution.
Humans are relatively slow sprinters: elite athletes can sustain top speeds of about 10 metres a second for only 15 seconds while horses and greyhounds can run up to 20 metres a second for minutes at a time.
"Today endurance running is primarily a form of exercise and recreation, but its roots may be as ancient as the origin of the human genus," they said in Nature.

 IEEE Spectrum: Born to Run
But good will is not necessarily good science, and from a strictly biomechanical point of view, it remains an open question as to whether running with a prosthesis could ever enable an athlete to surpass what would have been his able-bodied performance were he not missing one or both of his natural feet.
Not only was 34-year-old Frasure a highly experienced prosthetist—a profession he chose after losing a leg trying to hop a moving train while in college—he also held the world record in the 200 meter dash for amputees, a blistering 22.69 seconds, barely 3 seconds shy of the able-bodied mark.
Unlike an earlier generation of artificial devices, which sought with well-intentioned literal-mindedness to recreate the highly complex articulation of the human foot, the heel-less carbon-fiber leaf spring used by nearly all Paralympics sprinters today was designed with a different purpose: quite simply, to allow the athlete to move as quickly as possible.

The three simultaneous 10km runs in Battersea Park, Hyde Park and Victoria Park on Sunday 16th October are closer than ever and though it's not a race, it's definitely a trial as the many folks pounding the pavements in preparation for the big day could tell you (if only they weren't too breathless to speak...)
After two successful almost-very-nearly-just-under one hour runs in Week 4, I was a on real high and feeling fit, strong and confident, ready to plough on to the magical one hour plus that will prove to me I can "do" running.
Also, at the end of the second run that week, I was in a magical place - hardly breathless, serene and calm and just a little shaky in the limbs, which is definitely progress from the shuddering heap of jelly I previously became after going on the road for a bit.
