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.

評分 評分这大概是本跑者一见就会买的书，但不知道有没人因为读不下去，过来看评论的。如果是这样，你可以一目十行，直到第170页左右——丹顿和卡西迪的山林木屋谈话。然后你会自然放慢速度，进入故事中去。 前2/3篇幅里的主角卡西迪基本上是个自以为是的讨厌鬼，抱怨这个刻薄那个，自...
評分 評分在雨中奔跑，在田野奔跑，在夜晚的街上奔跑······都是美妙的体验，但有一个关键，那就是要一个人安静地跑，最多像卡西迪那样，再加上一到两个同伴，足够了。 在长跑的过程中，确实可以深切地感受到一种低调的兴奋、孤独，和自由，我相信，所有热爱跑步的...

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.
