Book excerpt: Excerpt from Long Distance Running and Training In the old days pedestrians used to make themselves believe that in order to accomplish anything of an athletic nature it was necessary to lay down certain hard and fast lines as regards food, from which it was little better than suicide to depart. The modern athlete is wiser in his day and recognizes that it is not necessary to gerge with raw beef, or to over-heat his blood, in order to be in prime con dition. In those davs it was thought becoming to eat big chunks of underdonemeat, to feast on eggs and to do all kinds of things that made training a wearisome, unpleasant and exhaustive task. To-dav we eat of such food as we fancy in a moderate wav, and we are thf better for it in health and performance.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Distance and Cross Country Running America's middle distance runners and sprinters are famous throughout the world. Her distance runners rank second only to the Englishmen, whose climate and general upbringing have made them peerless in this one branch of sport. These are the two salient points that strike one in glancing hastily down the vista Of American champions from 1876 to the present day. The American sprinter and quarter-miler are the best in the world to day, and they have been so ever since 1880, only four years after the first American championships were held. 'the half-milers have found their equals in England, though that famous Ameri can distance runner, Kilpatrick, holds the best half-mile record ever made. But in such men as Bredin, who defeated Kilpatrick in England; Workman Of Oxford, Cross, Tys'oe, the late world's champion, and numbers of others, our British cousins have shown an equality.

Book excerpt: Perhaps one of the most revered works of fiction in the twentieth-century, The Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner is a modern classic about integrity, courage, and bucking the system. Its title story recounts the story of a reform school cross-country runner who seizes the perfect opportunity to defy the authority that governs his life. It is a pure masterpiece.

Book excerpt: The undisputed classic of running novels and one of the most beloved sports books ever published, Once a Runner tells the story of an athlete’s dreams amid the turmoil of the 60s and the Vietnam war. Inspired by the author’s experience as a collegiate champion, the novel follows Quenton Cassidy, a competitive runner at fictional Southeastern University whose lifelong dream is to run a four-minute mile. He is less than a second away when the 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 against the greatest miler in history. A rare insider’s account of the incredibly intense lives of elite distance runners, Once a Runner is an inspiring, funny, and spot-on tale of one individual’s quest to become a champion.
