We share the sun [BOOK] : the incredible journey of Kenya's legendary running coach Patrick Sang and the fastest runners on earth / Sarah Gearhart. First Pegasus Books edition. New York : Pegasus Books, 2023. xxi, 216 pages, 16 unnumbered pages of plates : illustrations (chiefly color) ; 24 cm. txt rdacontent n rdamedia nc rdacarrier At a secluded training camp in Kaptagat, Kenya, a small town nearly 8,000 feet above sea level in the Great Rift Valley, three-dozen world-class runners, including Olympic champions, world record holders and the fastest marathoner of all-time, share simple dormitory-style rooms and endure grueling workouts six days a week. 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. Provided by publisher. 20230731. Sang, Patrick.
