Running My Life: The Autobiography
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
