    Whether running is your recreation, your religion, or just a spectator sport, Adharanand Finn’s incredible journey to the elite training camps of Kenya will captivate and inspire you. Part travelogue, part memoir, this mesmerizing quest to uncover the secrets of the world’s greatest runners - and put them to the test - combines practical advice, a fresh look at barefoot running, and hard-won spiritual insights.

    What would have made Running with the Kenyans better?

    Running with Kenyans was just a bit too slow for me, nothing grabbed me.


    What was most disappointing about Adharanand Finn’s story?

    It seems like a nice story and I feel a little sad saying I really didn't love it.

    Why we think it’s a great listen: Want to join the “superhumans”? Luckily you don’t have to run to catch up with them, thanks to McDougall’s and Sanders’ inspiring (and motivating) journey through history, science, physiology, health, entertaining characters and unlikely friendships. Full of incredible characters, amazing athletic achievements, cutting-edge science, and, most of all, pure inspiration, Born to Run is an epic adventure.

    A dominant force in the sport of ultrarunning, Scott Jurek is a seven-time winner of the 100-mile Western States Endurance Run and a two-time winner of the 135-mile Badwater Ultramarathon through Death Valley. Eat & Run offers an inspirational account of Jurek’s life as a runner and vegan. Regaling listeners with jaw-dropping tales of endurance, Jurek also delivers sound science and practical advice—as well as his favorite plant-based recipes.

    Story
    Would you listen to Eat and Run again? Why?

    I loved his take on eating vegan and being an athlete, I think it would change many people's minds on how they eat.


    What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting?

    The diet aspect is the most interesting. Scott and many other people's "super athleticism" does make one think of it as an addiction...

    Born in the United States, but reared in Mexico, Harrison Shepherd finds precarious shelter but no sense of home on his thrilling odyssey. Life is whatever he learns from housekeepers and, one fateful day, by mixing plaster for famed muralist Diego Rivera. When he goes to work for Rivera, his wife, exotic artist Kahlo, and exiled leader Lev Trotsky, Shepherd inadvertently casts his lot with art and revolution.

    What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?

    I LOVE Barbara Kingsolver, I have read everything she has ever written (that I know of).
    I just could not connect with this story...
