Inhaltsangabe

Foreword, by Olympic athlete, Zane Robertson.

This book captures the Kenyan running phenomenon in an experiential and realistic way. How they train, how they live, what they eat and even how they think. It explains the struggles, hardships and hard work that it takes to reach the top.

East African runners have always inspired me; that’s why I came to Kenya as a teenager. To be the best running version of myself, I had to live and train with the best, and absorb what is useful from the surroundings. When I stand on the start line, ready to race against Kenyans, I don’t fear them. I consider myself to be partly one of them. One thing is for sure- Kenyans know how to run.

Packed with training tips, this book will help every runner assess their own training and improve their running. Colin has made many visits to Iten and spent time helping a number of athletes. When he is here in Iten, he lives the proper way with us locals. That’s the best way to learn about the Kenyan way of life. Running on the Red Dust reminds me of great memories from over the years and I am sure it will inspire and educate you to improve your running and learn about life in Kenya.
