Sarah's latest book, titled "We Share the Sun: The Incredible Journey of Kenya's Legendary Running Coach Patrick Sang and the Fastest Runners on Earth," showcases her expertise in the field.The focus of Sarah's book is Patrick Sang, the renowned coach behind Eliud Kipchoge, widely recognized as the world's top marathon runner. However, what sets Sang apart is the holistic approach he takes with all his runners, including Kipchoge. Sarah's firsthand experience at Sang's Kaptagat training camp provided her with a unique understanding of this tight-knit community, which remains largely unknown and misunderstood by the general public. Nevertheless, it sets a remarkable example that all runners can draw inspiration from.During our conversation, Sarah and I explore various topics related to her book, "We Share the Sun," including:What motivated her to write about Patrick Sang and the athletes under his guidance. The reason why Patrick Sang is often referred to as a life coach rather than just a running coach. How the culture fostered by Sang contributes to the success of his athletes. The immersive experiences of Sang's runners and how these contribute to their unparalleled achievements. How Sarah's perspective on running has transformed since her time spent in Kenya.

Sarah Gearhart is a New York based sportswriter and now author. You name the organization; she has probably written for it! USA Today, New York Times, Wall Street Journal, ESPN, Runner's World, Vice Sports…In April 2023 she published her first book: “We Share the Sun: The Incredible Journey of Kenya's Legendary Running Coach Patrick Sang and the Fastest Runners on Earth.”https://www.booktopia.com.au/we-share-the-sun-sarah-gearhart/book/9781639363551.htmlI met Sarah in Boston during the 2023 marathon weekend, and we sat down for this podcast conversation about her experience writing this book including how she convinced the notoriously private Patrick Sang to take part in it, the many many months she spent in Kenya and her observations and experiences with the greatest marathon runner of all time, Eliud Kipchoge. And his coach, Patrick Sang.I’m a sucker for a running book. I’ve read just about every single one imaginable. This is my new favorite. (Disclosure: I am a Kipchoge fan boy. But this is so much more than a book about running or the guy behind the guy). Whether or not you buy or read the book. I do hope you enjoy the conversation with Sarah.Thanks to Radix Nutrition for sponsoring this episode. Even before they jumped on board as a sponsor, I was a fan of their products. Now their protein powder is part of my daily diet plan. They are so much more than just protein and smoothie powder though. Check out their website to learn more about this kiwi company doing special things.https://radixnutrition.co.nz/ Hosted on Acast.

Sarah Gearhart (American author)

On the podcast this week I have Sarah Gearhart, a writer and 14-time marathoner. She’s a sports journalist whose work has appeared pretty much everywhere, including The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, ESPN, Runner’s World, and many others. Sarah is the author of the new book, We Share the Sun: The Incredible Journey of Kenya’s Legendary Running Coach Patrick Sang and the Fastest Runners on Earth. Patrick Sang is the coach of Eliud Kipchoge, widely regarded as the world's best marathoner. But the culture he has created at his Kaptagat training camp focuses on treating all runners - Kipchoge included - as a whole person. Sarah's time at the camp allowed her a unique insight into this community that few of us know or understand, but sets an example that all runners can learn from. Sarah and I touch on a number of topics surrounding her new book, including:  What drew her to write about Patrick Sang and the athletes he coaches Why Patrick Sang is often described as a life coach and not just a running coach How the culture Sang created for his athletes contributes to their success The immersive experience of Sang’s runners and how it adds to their dominance How Kipchoge came to be coached by Sang Why Sarah’s perspective on running has evolved since her time in Kenya  Sarah's book is beautifully written and a must read for anyone who loves the sport.
