Through profiles of 26 runners - Olympians, world record holders, outstanding masters runners - and 3 great coaches, Book of Runners examines the role of running in the great drama of the human condition. The six Olympians are paramount, but the profiles include a world record holder in the 50 mile run; a man who won 9,800 athletic awards; a guy who's run every day for 35 years; a 96-year-old who worked out three hours a day, five days a week; three women who led the way for women in running; a guy who ran every street in Minneapolis at six minutes a mile; a woman who competed in five Olympic Marathon Trials, and some of the best masters runners around. A font of inspirational stories, a training manual, a poignant examination of the author's life of running, a coaching guide - Book of Runners is a multi-faceted look at running and living.
