Running in the Shadows of the Gods

‘Running in the Shadows of the Gods’ recounts how one runner dreamt of following the greats of British athletics. It also explores how the 1980s defined the way we see athletics today. In his book, Paul Larkins recounts what it was like to watch Seb Coe and Steve Ovett on TV, racing in far-flung stadiums on their way to world records before finally competing against them himself. Occasionally he even beat them. And as you’ll discover, the 1980s were much more than the creation of running gods. Today’s amazing super shoes owe their roots to the decade as do the incredible races and athletes we see on TV today.
