Publisher's Summary
After years of watching Kenyan athletes win the world's biggest races, Adharanand Finn set out to discover just what it was that made them so fast - and to see if he could keep up. Packing up his life he moved from Devon to Iten, in Kenya, to eat with, interview, sleep beside and - most importantly – run with, some of the greatest runners in the world. In the distance rests his dream, to join the best of the Kenyan athletes in an epic first marathon across the Kenyan plains.

Inspiring, entertaining, informative.
This is everything I want from a book about running, and from a book about travel and culture.

Great narration
Would you listen to Running with the Kenyans again? Why?
I'm not a runner but I enjoy travel books. You don't need to be a runner to enjoy this book, but I'm sure it would be an advantage.
The book was somewhat repetitive; could have done with a bit more editing. I enjoyed the races but would have liked a bit more about living in Kenya.

Loved it!
I learned a lot as a runner, but most of all loved the description of what it was like to run with Kenyans in Kenya. Sad for the story to end.

Top Story
I was expecting a good story and I got it. I needed something like this in the down season (in-between marathons) away from the preciseness of marathon training plans, facts and figures.
You get a good feel of simple Kenyan daily life, with how running fits into it. Its religious for many! A good listen and worth the purchase if you are interested in a good story with running around it.

Pretty boring
I kept waiting for this book to pick up. Unfortunately it did not. I'm not really sure what the purpose of this book was. I learned nothing, and was left uninspired and just wanted it to hurry up and finish.
