TrainingCoachingMindset

What happens when an American coach and exercise physiologist moves to a rural town in Kenya's Great Rift Valley to coach a group of Kenyan runners? From training in groups and controlling the pace to running by feel and building a strong mindset, Dr. Karp brings world-class coaching to Iten, Kenya—the epicenter of distance running. Part storytelling and part training guide, it's a vivid account of living, training, and learning among the undisputed best runners in the world.
