This books describes the incredible journey of Adharanand Finn from the English Countryside to the training camps in Kenya to uncover the secrets of the world’s greatest runners. The book will be published in May of this year.

It describes how Finn, once a natural runner himself, traveled to Iten, a small, chaotic town in the Rift Valley province of Kenya, which is seen as a mecca for long-distance runners thanks to its high altitude, endless running paths, and some of the top training schools in the world.

Finn would run side by side with Olympic champions, young hopefuls, and barefoot schoolchildren . . . not to mention the exotic—and sometimes dangerous—wildlife for which Kenya is famous, and would learn invaluable lessons about running and about life.

I have added some beautiful photo’s of Finn’s time with the Kenyan runners, which I retrieved via The Guardian
