Once a Runner

4.5 stars out of 5

"Once a Runner" is a novel about a college runner who specializes in the mile. He does a tremendous amount of training and has plenty of adventures as a college student. It's a great read that will pull you in, especially if you are a runner.

I have never done serious training as a runner, so I can't speak to that part, but I felt like you really got inside a real runner's head. The book is very popular among runners (at least according to Runner's World). I enjoyed it a lot.
