Published to coincide with sporting legend Haile Gebrselassie running in the 2002 London Marathon, Alastair Aitken's latest collection, Athletics Enigmas, brings together the extremes of the athletics world: those star professionals whose names are familiar to us all and the ordinary club runners who are largely unsung. The book examines the worlds of track and field athletics, cross-country running, veteran and ultra-distance running.
