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.

读后感
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。

评分跑步这件事，大约是不适合写成小说的。因为每次跑步的经历都异常真实。较为传奇的部分，大多是在运动员如何成为明星选手的过程，而很多时候，又不适宜花太多的笔墨去写他如何训练跑步，因为再怎么写，读者都不是书中主角，无法体验如此身心的煎熬，这些笔墨也只能看做是说教罢...

评分不好看。据说后半段会有意思一些，但我没有坚持下去……
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.
