Running on the red dust: A firsthand insight into the creation of the world's best athletes from Kenya

I've recently also read a book on African runners which was ok but this one was the far better of the two. Extremely well written and presented, also loved the training tips after most chapters. Have often wondered what is their secret and am more enlightened now. Set out in an easy to follow format. Would strongly recommend to those who have an interest in running as well as those who wish to just come along for the ride!

I found the description of the training and athletes in Kenya very moving. The training tips for aspiring runners are excellent. I would recommend this book to anyone interested in running. It is plain English and very easy to read. 👍

It was good to read Colins book and get an insight of the hardship these top athletes overcome and life rewards they are working towards. They give it everything.

Interesting and informative book looking at the training regimes, lifestyle and sacrifices necessary for these athletes to succeed. Useful training tips at end of each chapter.A great read would recommend.

This book gives an insight into what life was like in the past and what it is like for many Kenyans in the present day. It gives good tips for runners and indeed, tips for any sports people.

A really enjoyable read which offers an interesting insight into top level athletics. And some handy training tips too, thanks!!

Great book, Colin is very knowledgable and the book is very well written.

Informative. Good insight into the world of Kenyan athletes.
