How can the average athlete relate to some of the best runners in the world? What insights can be gained? And in what ways are we more similar than different? 

These are just a few of the questions addressed in this episode of Run To The Top. 

We host author Sarah Gearhart who’s recently published book titled “We Share The Sun” takes readers behind the scenes and into the lives of some of the world’s most elite runners in Kenya and their legendary coach, Patrick Sang. 

We talk about Kenyan running culture, the philosophy of one of the greatest and least heralded coaches of all-time, the importance of developing character and purpose in tandem with physical fitness, life in the training camps of Iten, and the unique challenges Sang’s athlete face in a changing media and performance landscapes of the sport.  Connect, Comment, Community
