While on the elliptical this morning, I had the opportunity to read Running Times' July/August issue, which includes a great feature, written by Marc Chalufour, on Tirunesh Dibaba, the issue's coverwoman. While the Ethiopian women are some of our sport's biggest stars, we don't hear as much about them as, say, Paula Radcliffe or Deena Kastor, due in large part to the language barrier. Chalufour's article provides insight into her personality, as well as a detailed account of her path to greatness. If you aren't already a subscriber, I recommend that you check out this article. Just don't be too discouraged when you read how little she trains!
[Update: The article is available online now.]
