A must read for any marathon or long distance runner

Perhaps the best book to ever capture the true essence and spirit of long distance running, this well written book features interviews with both amateur and Olympic long distance runners and captures that unique rush that runners get (through the sense of challenge and accomplishment). The book also traces the history of marathon running and its place in human history. Truly a great book that any distance runner should read.
