These determined devoted and selfless runners are who they are because of a man named Patrick Sang. One of the greatest and least - heralded coaches in the sport Sang is described by his athletes as a life coach. In We Share the Sun Sarah Gearhart takes us inside this high - octane world of elites of which few are even aware of and even fewer have ever seen. We are immersed in Sang's remarkable story from his college days in the US to winning an Olympic medal in the steeplechase and his journey to become a man who redefines what coaching means. There is no singular secret to athletic success but as readers will learn Sang's holistic philosophy is like no other approach in the world. It is rooted in developing athletes who can navigate the pressures of elite competition and life itself. In these pages we explore Sang's influence on his athletes including his unique and longstanding relationship with marathon world record holder Eliud Kipchoge as they prepared for the delayed Tokyo Olympics and other competitions. We witness the remarkable recovery of two - time New York City Marathon champion Geoffrey Kamworor after a freak accident as he strove to earn his first Olympic medal. And we follow one of the world's most dominant mid - distance runners Faith Kipyegon as she attempted a historic repeat title in the 1,500 meters three years after the birth of her first child. We Share the Sun brings forth the remarkable lives and stories of East African runners whose stories are seldom shared. Through Gearhart's vivid prose we experience the richness that exists in Kenya as we come as close as we possibly can to running alongside a current and future generation of elites and the man who molds them into champions.\u003cbr\u003e\nTitle: We Share The Sun The Incredible Journey Of Kenya's Legendary Running Coach Patrick Sang And The Fastest Runners On Earth\u003cbr\u003e\nAuthor(s): Gearhart Sarah\u003cbr\u003e\nPublisher: Pegasus Books\u003cbr\u003e\nBarcode: 9781639363551\u003cbr\u003e\nPages: 240 Pages, 16 Pages Of Color Photographs\u003cbr\u003e\nPublication Date: 4\/4\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\nCategory: Marathon \u0026amp; Cross-Country Running","brand":"Gearhart Sarah","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49622364815665,"sku":"IN-G-9781639363551","price":22.16,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0644\/6759\/9594\/files\/9781639363551.jpg?v=1724719923","url":"https:\/\/bookdelivered.com\/products\/9781639363551-we-share-the-sun-the-incredible-journey-of-kenyas-legendary-running-coach-patrick-sang-and-the-fastest-runners-on-earth","provider":"Book Delivered","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
