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.

具體描述

讀後感

評分

每个人一生都会经历过很多次跑步! 有的时候是慢跑,有的时候是冲刺。 看过这本书,觉得很好,给你一种安静的充实幸福感。 首先想起的是村上春树君。 村上本来是一个体质很弱小的人,但是他几十年都坚持跑步,最后竟然达到可以参加职业马拉松大赛的水平。 一个人的潜能有多大,...  

評分

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

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...  

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

主要是在火车上看完的,没觉得里面的卡西迪像评论说得那么讨厌。 每天跑步读书的日子令人向往,但是直接怀疑常人是否都能坚持下来。 跑步时对人生的思考,对生活中其它事物的取舍,书中都进行了细致的描绘。 特别好奇那种跑得泪流满面的感觉?

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.
