Product Information

Once a Runner captures the essence of what it means to be a competitive runner; to devote your entire existence to a single-minded pursuit of excellence. It has become one of the most beloved sports novels ever written. Originally self-published in 1978 and sold at road races out of the trunk of the author's car, the book eventually found its way into the hands of high school, college, and postgraduate athletes all over the country. Reading it became a rite of passage on many teams, and tattered copies were handed down like sacred texts from generation to generation. It ranked as the number one most sought-after out-of-print book in the United States in 2007. Once a Runner is the story of Quenton Cassidy, a collegiate runner at fictional Southeastern University whose lifelong dream is to run a four-minute mile. He is less than a second away when the political and cultural 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: a head-to-head match with the greatest miler in history. This book is a rare insider's account of the incredibly intense lives of elite distance runners; an inspiring, funny, and spot-on tale of one man's quest to become a champion.

"There is a remarkable parallel between the pacing of this novel and a well-run race."-- Ed Ayres, Running Times, "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, "Perhaps the best novel ever written about running. There are parts ofOnce a Runnerthat are pure poetry. I enjoyed it thoroughly and have never read descriptions of what it is to run and race as accurate and compelling as Parker's." -- Tom Jordan,Track & Field News, "Part training manual, part religious tract, part love story, and all about running, Once a Runner is so inspiring it could be banned as a performance-enhancing drug."-- Benjamin Cheever, author of Strides: Running Through History with an Unlikely Athlete, "The best piece of running fiction around.

    Best running book out there.

    I love this book. It is so inspirational I read it about once every year. However, this book appeals more to the serious runner, runners that have lived or are living the competitive and stressful life of a college athlete. For this reason I don’t think this book is for everyone, but if you fit into this category then this book is for you.

    Once a Runner

    I purchased "Once a Runner" by J.L. Parker as a present for my 14-year old who is running track, the 2-mile race. I had read the book before and, although I did not like the occasional profanity, I felt that it did an excellent job getting into the mind of a long-distance runner. I would highly recommend it to anybody planning to run 1-milers or longer.
