Críticas:
"The best novel ever written about running."--Runner's World "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 "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
