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.

Download or read book The Planted Runner written by Claire Bartholic and published by Meyer & Meyer Sport. This book was released on 2023-01-01 with total page 247 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With The Planted Runner, runners learn to optimize their training with plantbased nutrition, harness the power of their minds, and perform at their best while discovering the joy of running at any age. Plant-based nutrition is no longer a fad, but rather has been shown to improve athletic performance and reduce recovery time. Fueling with the power of plants is not only a suitable eating plan for training, but it is also delicious and satisfying. Certified running coach and sports nutrition specialist Claire Bartholic breaks down the information to provide complete understanding of how to eat not only to fuel running, but also to thrive. She also includes information on the basic ingredients and building blocks of a plant-based diet, rounded out with runner-specific fueling recipes that are good before, during, and after a run. Successful training requires more than just good plans and nutrition, however. Without addressing the mental side of training, results will be limited. The proven mindset training techniques provided in this book quiet that negative self-talk which can sabotage the best efforts. With those doubts silenced, every runner can find his or her potential. Through her coaching, Claire Bartholic has found the best way to successfully integrate those three critical elements—physical training, plant-based fueling, and mindset techniques—to help hundreds of runners reach their personal bests, and she provides her wealth of knowledge in this book.
