Description
Drawing on interviews and extensive research, this engaging portrait traces how running and its athletes have evolved from the 1950s to the modern era. Through the stories of legendary figures including Emil Zatopek and Uta Pippig, it explores the discipline, ambition, training, and personal sacrifice behind extraordinary performances. More than a history of distance running, the book invites readers to experience the sport through the lives and perspectives of its greatest champions—becoming their students, training partners, and devoted fans.
