You cannot fail to be inspired by Abdi's story, an authentic tale by someone who clearly cherishes running and life. - Gary Lough, distance coach and former pro runner

Abdi's World is a quirky place where the only American distance athlete to qualify for five Olympics shares the stories that shaped his enduring love of running and his laid-back approach to life.

Abdi Abdirahman arrived in Tucson, Arizona as a teenager when his family escaped civil war in their home country of Somalia. How the Black Cactus, as he is affectionately known, stumbled upon a career as one of the world's most durable and beloved track and road racers of the 21st century is a story of resilience, commitment, and respect for friends and competitors alike--told here in a guide that is part life lessons, part training tips, part autobiography, and all Abdi.

He has traveled the globe and shared his joie de vivre at every stop, showing a magician's ability to balance work and play that anyone young or old, in or out of running, could learn from to live a more meaningful life.

Enter Abdi's World to join him on his insightful journey--and see what happens when you meet his stride.
