just another great book on running!!
There was no secret, but it has been decoded well as to, how the Kenyans, Ethiopians and Jamaicans are running all of those marathons across the world, for prize money. We can also see, how handful western runners are making a career out of it. Nevertheless, running is still beautiful, with or without athletic goals. The book doesn't fail in inspiring a few runs.

Really compelling Story; insightful & eye opening
Bought this book to gain an insight into the mythical ways of the Kenyan runners and it was a really fun "run". The Author maintains an easy pace ( sorry i couldn't resist) into the little known life of Runners in Kenya and more specifically Iten. From thier lifestyle to thier personalities to their food and hardships , it really carefully covers all. Real good read for 9 to 5 Runners that complain that they would get faster if they didn't have the work life ..loved it !
One suggestion is that the Author should have read it himaelf ...while this Narrator was good and grabbed the nuances of the story while adding unpatronizing accents, he doesn't carry the same enthusiasm that the Author exhibits on his podcast...that would have made it better.
