Once a Runner captures the essence of what it means to be a competitive runner; to devote your entire existence to a single-minded pursuit of excellence. It has become one of the most beloved sports novels ever written.
Originally self-published in 1978 and sold at road races out of the trunk of the author's car, the book eventually found its way into the hands of high school, college, and postgraduate athletes all over the country. Reading it became a rite of passage on many teams, and tattered copies were handed down like sacred texts from generation to generation. It ranked as the number one most sought-after out-of-print book in the United States in 2007.
Once a Runner is the story of Quenton Cassidy, a collegiate runner at fictional Southeastern University whose lifelong dream is to run a four-minute mile. He is less than a second away when the political and cultural turmoil of the Vietnam War era intrudes into the staid recesses of his school's athletic department. After he becomes involved in an athletes' protest, Cassidy is suspended from his track team.
Under the tutelage of his friend and mentor, Bruce Denton, a graduate student and former Olympic gold medalist, Cassidy gives up his scholarship, his girlfriend, and possibly his future to withdraw to a monastic retreat in the countryside and begin training for the race of his life: a head-to-head match with the greatest miler in history. This book is a rare insider's account of the incredibly intense lives of elite distance runners; an inspiring, funny, and spot-on tale of one man's quest to become a champion.

读后感
我没什么意志力可言， 对于挑战身体的事情唯恐避之不及， 所以当小时候入选田径队时， 选择了短跑。 因为在二选一的情况下， 当然能尽快解脱就是王道。 以为选择了短跑就可以把长跑给踹开， 结果还是要每天早上做体能训练， 绕着学校后门的空地跑一个小时， 这对我来...
评分 评分这部书里关于“考试前骑马狂欢”令人捧腹的描述好像再现了堂吉诃德中“旅店一夜”的疯狂搞笑场景，而“夜袭事件”方佛又重现了了不起的盖茨比中的真诚者被背叛而负担起沉重的十字架，不过梦幻森林中的小木屋则给人阅读瓦尔登湖同样的感受，主人公终于能够逐渐面对孤独而恬...
评分卡西迪跑步语录： “关键不在于开始时能跑多快，而在于疲倦时能跑多快。” 跑步很像是一次人生的旅程。除了个别新生儿夭折之外，我们大多数人都没有败在起步上，而是败在了途中。就像书中说到的一样——“距离终点最遥远的不是第一圈，而是第三圈。第三圈是个缩影，但非关生...
评分说真的，这本书的确像很多人说得那样些许无聊，但是有些东西还是值得去换位体会——比如奔跑。 每个人上学的时候都会绕操场一圈一圈的跑，就拿我自己来说，有时候我不认真跑是因为我从不把它当做一种使命，只是甩甩胳膊动动腿儿的过程，当然，这也因为我并不是一位跑者。 书中...

kind of trite plot. a runner myself, i like reading all the books about running/great runners. the story is corny, but there are pieces shining out. the writing sounds amateur and kills the book. if you listen to the audio book, you will find the narrator knocked this book to the bottom of hell.
评分不好看。据说后半段会有意思一些，但我没有坚持下去……
