Adharanand Finn is an award-winning journalist and the author of Running with the Kenyans, The Way of the Runner, and The Rise of the Ultra Runners, and his forthcoming book The Running Pilgrim chronicles the 1,400 miles he ran around Ireland in 68 days.

On a quest to learn the reasons for success of the world's fastest distance runners, journalist Adharanand Finn uprooted his wife and three children to live in the high-altitude hamlet of Iten, Kenya. Immersing himself in the highly disciplined training regimen of marathon runners, Adharanand dis- covered some surprising secrets to the competitors' success. As Christians, the prize we seek is much more significant than winning a 26.2-mile race, for its prize is everlasting. Today, let's study together about the prize and the steps God would have us take to win it.
New Zealand runner and two-time Olympian Zane Robertson has been banned from all sport for eight years. Fellow runner, author and journalist Adharanand Finn raced with Robertson in Kenya in 2011 and interviewed him last year for his podcast The Way of the Runner.
On today's episode, Im joined by author, journalist and podcaster Adharanand Finn. Adharanand Finn is the author of Running with the Kenyans (2012), The Way of the Runner (2015) and The Rise of the Ultra Runners (2019). He has travelled the globe documenting all facets of running culture and crafting them into compelling and award-winning books. A keen runner himself, Adharanand has absorbed and witnessed running techniques and practices from around the world and explored them through his own running. In this conversation, we discuss his books, what each period taught him and why his latest journey into the unknown may be his toughest yet...

Running With The Kenyans is the story of how Adharanand moved his family to Kenya for 6 months so that he could explore why Kenyan runners are so dominant. Adharanand discovered a talent for running at a young age, but like many kids in sport, ended up getting distracted along the way and not realizing his potential. He continued to run in adulthood, but never really pushed his limits due to family obligations with 3 young kids. As the world was watching Kenyan athletes rise to the top and sweep the podiums of many major races, Adharanand was wondering what their secret is. With the approval of his wife (who was up for the adventure), they moved their 3 young kids to Kenya for 6 months so that Adharanand could train with the best runners in the world. The book is divided into 25 numbered chapters. Each chapter included a piece of Adharanand's journey to improve his own running, find the Kenyan running secret and some side stories about people that Adharanand met along the way.Adharanand Finn is an Assistant production editor for the Guardian newspaper in the UK, freelance writer and author of 3 award winning running books:Running with Kenyans - the topic of this episodeThe Way of the Runner - Which talks about Japanese obsessive running cultureRise of the Ultra Runners – Which talks about ultra-endurance runners and what makes them want to complete gruelling endurance events like the Marathon des Sables.

Today We Die A Little is the story of Czech runner Emil Zatopek's life and his athletic success, but also a history lesson of the communist era in former Czechoslovakia. Emil was born in 1922 and was the seventh of his parents eight children. Although not particularly athletic, or someone who you would mark as talented, his work ethic was exemplary, and he became the world's most dominant runner by sheer hard work. Emil was known for experimenting with training methods and was known for his ability to accept being uncomfortable.This book tells an incredible story about a legend in the sport of running, while at the same time acknowledging the difficulty in making sense of the rumours, and the lack of, or inaccuracy of, the information documented during the communist era. He also explains the fear and difficulty people had to trust others, and how difficult it is to get people to talk about that time.Richard Askwith is a UK Northamptonshire-based journalist and author whose passions include running, outdoor adventure and the traditions and ordinary people of the English countryside. He has written six books including Running Free, and Feet in the Clouds, an award winning book about fell running in the UK. He cohosts a Running and Writing workshop with another guest of ours, Adharanand Finn.If you would like to follow Richard's work, he can be found on Twitter, but a better place to follow his work is on his website: https://richardaskwith.co.uk If you are interested in getting a copy of Today We Die A Little, it is available on the Amazon UK site at https://www.amazon.co.uk/Today-We-Die-Little-Zátopek/dp/0224100343/ref=sr_1_1_twi_har_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1456765867&sr=1-1&keywords=Zátopek For our fellow Canadian's you can find it on the Amazon Canada website at https://www.amazon.ca/Today-We-Die-Little-Inimitable/dp/1568585497/ref=sr_1_7?dchild=1&keywords=richard+askwith&qid=1627656748&sr=8-7 Big thank you to the publisher, Bold Type Books, for providing a review copy of the book, and to author, Richard Askwith, for speaking with us.
