A Must Read for All Runners: Beginner's to Advanced

This is the best running book I've ever come across - and I've read a few! It's easy to read & fun, makes we want to run to Africa to run... On a more serious note - it shows that the only way to improve is to train. It's informative and backed-up by some of the world's greatest runners. As Mr. Tanser says: Train Hard, Win Easy. Great reading!

Excellent training manual

A most entertaining book - fun to read, and so informative - for once I read what the africans really do on a day to day basis.A ruuner's coffee table MUST HAVE. MAde me wanna run... all the way to Africa!

A fun and entertaining read

If you are a "goal oriented" distance runner, you'll love this book. Most of us can forget trying the workouts listed here but hey, we can dream! This is a great thing to reread when one wants to get fired up about one's training. I really turn to this book when I am tempted to waste more money on fads, new gadgets, etc. :-)The formula for Kenyan success in distance running? It is no secret, really. You will find about what you expect. Still, this book is worth reading.This book also provides a few brief glimpses of Kenya's culture and of the various sub-cultures within.

Inspiring, Informative and a Runner's MUST

A total break from the boring running books. This book actually tells us from a runner running with the great runners. Whenever I need a kick before training I just get out this book, read a couple of pages and I'm flying through the Rift Valley training with Moses Tanui!

A clear picture of a runner's life in Kenya.

Toby Tanser lived in Kenya and observed just how the best distance runners in the world train. In his book, he paints a clear picture of how elite runners live, eat, sleep running. This book is interesting not only for the insights into the elite runners of Kenya, but for an interesting look into the Kenyan culture, as well. This book is a must have for runners interetsed in the international running scene.
