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.
John L. Parker, Jr. has written for Outside, Runner's World, and numerous other publications. He was the Southeastern Conference mile champion three times, and the United States Track and Field Federation national champion in the steeplechase, and was the teammate of Olympians Frank Shorter, Jack Bacheler, and Jeff Galloway on several championship cross-country teams. A graduate of the University of Florida's College of Journalism as well as its College of Law, Parker has been a practicing attorney, a newspaper reporter and columnist, a speechwriter for then Governor Bob Graham, and editorial director of Running Times magazine. He lives in Gainesville, Florida, and Bar Harbor, Maine.

评分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.

比起这个书名,我更喜欢英文原著的名字:Once a Runner.也是因为这本书,让我渐渐开始喜欢上了跑步。世界上没有哪一个成功背后不忍受长年累月的孤独,也许在别人看来会被称作疯子,但你永远不去尝试,不能忍受一个人不断又不断的重复的寂寥,你就无法知道自己究竟能做成到什么...
评分这是写给一个有过跑步经历的人的小说。跑步的人是孤独的,就像一个正在执行任务的忍者。他有着明确的目标,就是超越身体极限,到达一个新的速度或距离。通常他会很耐心,孤独的计划着逐步逼近目标。超越极限,实现目标后的那种成就感,如果你没有跑过步,你不会懂。
评分精彩!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...
评分卡西迪跑步语录: “关键不在于开始时能跑多快,而在于疲倦时能跑多快。” 跑步很像是一次人生的旅程。除了个别新生儿夭折之外,我们大多数人都没有败在起步上,而是败在了途中。就像书中说到的一样——“距离终点最遥远的不是第一圈,而是第三圈。第三圈是个缩影,但非关生...
评分说实话,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...
