5.0 out of 5 stars A clear picture of a runner's life in Kenya., July 14, 1998

Joe W. Green "Woodyg3" (Boulder, CO) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Train Hard, Win Easy: The Kenyan Way (Paperback)

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Must Read for All Runners: Beginner's to Advanced, July 30, 2002

Proud Mom (Forest Hills, NY, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Train Hard, Win Easy: The Kenyan Way (Paperback)

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!
