The author of this book has been meeting up with the world's best
marathon runner since 2005, following his world record runs at
first hand and visiting him several times in Addis Abeaba. He has
traced his background, travelled the length and breadth of the
African highlands, unearthed interesting Ethiopian running stories
and with Haile Gebrselassie's help, got a school project in a
remote village off the ground. We discover the life story of a
wonder runner from his childhood onwards; we relive his two Olympic
10K victories as well as his Berlin Marathon world records. The
life story of this exceptional, perennially smiling athlete is
packed with training information, personal encounters and
impressions from his beloved homeland that he represents all over
the world as UN honorary ambassador.
