I haven’t read “Once a Runner: A Novel
” in a long time, so I thought it was about time to revisit the classic. Many runners seem to argue that this is the best running fiction out there. It definitely has achieved that cult classic status, which I think was partially elevated by its out-of-print status. Now that it looks like there is another print of the book coming out(get yours now before it disappears again for another decade), it only seems right to re-read to see if it is worth buying a hardcover edition as my paperback copy is showing some wear.

Welcome to a glimpse of my running book collection. Here’s my list of the Best Running Books: Fiction. I’ll be updating this listing as more become available and as I add my spoiler free reviews. As of right now, they are not listed in any particular order, just the order they are on my shelf. As I re-read and write reviews for these books, I’ll be sure to order them and create a list of essentials.

How many times have you tried to look up something running related and were forced to sift through thousands of pages on Google before you found it? Well, in an attempt to ameliorate this problem a small community of runners have been building WikiRun.com – an Encyclopedia for Runners by Runners.

In fact, I had more interesting surprise interactions with raccoons and horses than cars, but I imagine that I’ve been lucky and was interested in what he had to say.

When I first received Best Efforts: World Class Runners and Races by Kenny Moore, I noticed the impressive list of runners and coaches: Steve Prefontaine, Frank Shorter, Bill Bowerman, Bill Rogers, Ron Clarke, Sebastain Coe, Lasse Viren, Mary Decker, and many many more. What makes this book special is that it is told through the eye of the author, Kenny Moore, an Olympian (4th in the Marathon at Munich) who was competing with or running with all the greats discussed in this book. So, this isn’t a collection of mini biographies, but a collection of personal experiences Kenny Moore has had with the legends of his time.
