Walking Tall by Rob Heffernan

This is the inside story of how Rob Heffernan's dream led him from the council flats of his tough Cork city upbringing to the winners' podium of the Olympic Games. It is also a frank chronicle of the sometimes nightmare-ridden journey it takes to make a dream come true.

Rob Heffernan, from Togher in Cork city, opted out of the life mapped out for him at a young age. Instead of following his father into a trade, he put everything into race walking, and made his way to the very top, winning an Olympic medal, a world title and many other awards along the way.
