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.

 
The best piece of running fiction around. Beg, borrow, or buy a copy, and you’ll never need another motivator
— Dave Langlais, Runner’s World
By far the most accurate fictional portrayal of the world of the serious runner…a marvelous description of the way it really is
— Kenny Moore, Sports Illustrated
