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.

精彩!在作者笔下与主人公共同感受60趟400米快跑间歇训练,在最后一场比赛的描写中,不止能看到赛道上运动员们奋力拼杀,镜头切换,仿佛置身比赛中!作为一名跑步爱好者,更能感受书中数字所带来的震撼以及恰如其分又不失幽默风趣的比喻,后半部分一口气看完,合上书后,只感觉...  

評分

有两处纰漏。一是165页“他们倒是以一小时十五分的时间跑完了三十四公里”。这绝无可能,一万米世界纪录也不过26分左右。二是244页提到芬兰长跑名将帕沃·努尔米,脚注说“在第三届奥运会中获得九枚金牌和三枚银牌”,其实是三届,而非第三届  

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...  

評分

说实话,这个故事讲得真是不怎么样 一个跑者,在前辈帮助下,突破自己超越对手 大概就是这样吧 但作者应该是懂跑步的 他对交叉训练的那段描述,相当经典 当然,最后那段赛跑 过程的描述也相当赞 自己、对手、观众,整个过程中的心理、动作,还有变化 所以,还是值得看的 下一步...

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.

不好看。據說後半段會有意思一些,但我沒有堅持下去……
