Learn from Emil and Alain!
Alain Mimoun took second to Emil Zatopek numerous times in the Europeans and Olympics. It was not until their third Olympics together, in the marathon, where Emil took sixth, that Alain won! Alain waited for his dear friend, and shared that his daughter, Olympia, had been born just prior to the race. Two wonderfully complex men and class acts. Read about them, learn about the history of the sport! Go to to get books on each! (Also read one of our sports finest writers EVER!)
Watch for a special offer on Emil Zatopek and Alain Mimoun book and monography from Pat Butcher, exclusively for RunBlogRun readers! Coming soon!
Other book suggestions: Self Made Olympian, by Ron Daws, , A Clean Pair of Heels by Murray Halberg, , Pre! by Tom Jordan.
