À propos de ce titre
 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, reading the book became a rite of passage for many runners, and tattered copies were handed down like sacred texts from generation to generation.

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 audiobook 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.

Avis de la critique

"The best novel ever written about running." ( Runner's World)
Toutes les étoiles

This book is one of the few running books that are actually worth reading/listening to. It will not be too appealing to the regular jogger/marathoner, but current and former middle distance runners and other “fast runners” will enjoy it a great deal.

Awesome book for every true runner

Einer der besten Sprecher vertont ein grandioses Buch über das Laufen. Die Geschichte eines Läufer, der getrieben ist und gegen sich und die Campuspolitik einer südstaatlichen Universität kämpft. Absolut hörenswert

Grandios!
