Running My Life - The Autobiography by Seb Coe
The full story of the man who won two gold Olympic medals and then brought the Olympics to London.
Fascinating and rather uplifting.. This is a singularly well-written sporting autobiography. * The Sunday Times *
In his enjoyable autobiography, Running My Life, Coe goes some way towards dispelling the myths. A combination of Olympic success, allied to political nous, made Coe a perfect candidate to run the campaign for the London Olympics. And what a success he made of it. * The Times *
Fast-paced, lively and packed with anecdotes. * Daily Express *
A well-timed autobiography from a true British great. * Sun *
Running My Life is far from the self-congratulatory account one might expect. Charting his rise from a Sheffield secondary modern to double Olympic champion, multiple record-holder, politician and inspirational leader behind the successful Games, he reveals a personality far more amusing and unpretentious than his smooth public image would suggest. * Independent on Sunday *
It's a proper autobiography in that it begins at the beginning...Coe's direct prose drives this engrossing book. * Daily Telegraph *
