Run to Win
Description
Within only a few decades, Kenya has established itself as the running nation #1. Today Kenyan athletes dominate the world rankings in all distances between the 800m and the marathon. How did this happen? Run to Win describes the development of running in Kenya from the 1960s until nowadays. It lets coaches speak, who have strongly influenced the rise of the East-African nation to a world power in sports, and it shows how running has also become a big business. The reader will learn about the training secrets of the stars and will also receive valuable tips for his own career or sports life, be it as an amateur jogger or an ambitious runner. This book is a must-have for all running coaches and runners, and also for all those who want to learn more about the background and secrets of the Kenyan success story.
