About this listen

After years of watching Kenyan athletes win the world's biggest races, Adharanand Finn set out to discover just what it was that made them so fast - and to see if he could keep up. Packing up his life he moved from Devon to Iten, in Kenya, to eat with, interview, sleep beside and - most importantly – run with, some of the greatest runners in the world. In the distance rests his dream, to join the best of the Kenyan athletes in an epic first marathon across the Kenyan plains.

Great book, not so great narrator

The story was overall compelling.... sometimes a bit lengthy with certain descriptions, but overall good. However, the nsrrator's style is really annoying

narrating a running story...

a great book to listen too a week ahead of a race.... or if you're thinking of changing your running technique, the. it would be perfect during the off season to develop that forefoot technique...

You simply have to listen to this book.

A very interesting book, one that made me want to pack up and go to Kenya and run like they do. A must read/listen to.
