Quick overview Full of wonderful insights and lessons from a world where the ability to run is viewed as something almost mysterious and magical. Adharanand Finn, author of Running with the Kenyans Ethiopia is a place where I have been told that energy is controlled by angels and demons and where witchdoctors can help you to acquire another runner s power. It is a place where an anonymous runner in the forest told me, miming an imaginary scoreboard and with a completely straight face, that he had dreamt that he would run 10km in 25 minutes.
