An enlightening biography and gripping sports narrative that takes us behind the scenes into the lives of some of the worlds most elite runners in Kenya and their coach, Patrick Sang.'I highly recommend this book.' Meb KeflezighiAt a secluded training camp in Kaptagat, Kenya, a small town nearly 8,000 feet above sea level in the Great Rift Valley, threedozen worldclass runners, including Olympic champions, world record holders and the fastest marathoner of alltime, share simple dormitorystyle 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 greatestand leastheralded coaches in the sportSang is described by his athletes as a life coach.In We Share the Sun, Sarah Gearhart takes us inside this highoctane world of elites of which few are even aware of and even fewer have ever seen. We are immersed in Sangs 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, Sangs holistic philosophy is like no other approach in the world. It is rooted in developing athletes who can navigate the pressures of elite competitionand life itself.In these pages, we explore Sangs 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 twotime 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 worlds most dominant middistance 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 Sunbrings 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 elitesand the man who molds them into champions.
