内容简介
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.

一旦跑步者掌握了成为一名有竞争力的跑步者的本质；全身心投入到对卓越的追求中。它已成为有史以来最受欢迎的体育小说之一。这本书最初于 1978 年自行出版，并在公路比赛中从作者的汽车后备箱中出售，最终进入了全国各地高中、大学和研究生运动员的手中。阅读它成为许多团队的一种仪式，破烂的副本像神圣的文本一样代代相传。该书被评为 2007 年美国最受欢迎的绝版书籍。《曾经的跑步者》讲述了昆顿·卡西迪 (Quenton Cassidy) 的故事。昆顿·卡西迪是虚构的东南大学的一名大学生跑步运动员，他的毕生梦想是跑完四分钟一英里。距离他不到一秒钟，越南战争时期的政治和文化动荡就侵入了他学校体育系的安静角落。卡西迪参与运动员抗议后，他的田径队被停职。在他的朋友兼导师布鲁斯·丹顿（研究生、前奥运会金牌得主）的指导下，卡西迪放弃了奖学金、女朋友，甚至可能还有自己的未来，隐居到乡村的一处修道院隐居处，开始为他一生中的比赛进行训练：与历史上最伟大的一英里运动员进行一场正面交锋。这本书是对精英长跑运动员令人难以置信的紧张生活的罕见内部记录。这是一个鼓舞人心、有趣且恰到好处的故事，讲述了一个人追求成为冠军的故事。

经典段落 · 编者书摘
What was the secret, they wanted to know; in a thousand different ways they wanted to know The Secret. And not one of them was prepared, truly prepared to believe that it had not so much to do with chemicals and zippy mental tricks as with that most unprofound and sometimes heart-rending process of removing, molecule by molecule, the very tough rubber that comprised the bottoms of his training shoes. The Trial of Mil
他们想知道其中的秘密是什么；他们想以一千种不同的方式了解这个秘密。他们中没有一个人准备好，真正准备好相信这与化学品和敏捷的心理技巧无关，而是与一个最不深奥、有时令人心碎的过程有关，一个分子一个分子地去除构成他训练鞋底部的非常坚韧的橡胶。米尔的审判
You don't become a runner by winning a morning workout. The only true way is to marshal the ferocity of your ambition over the course of many day, weeks, months, and (if you could finally come to accept it) years. The Trial of Miles; Miles of Trials.
赢得晨练并不能成为一名跑步者。唯一真正的方法是在许多天、几周、几个月和（如果你最终能接受的话）几年的过程中集中你的野心。迈尔斯的审判；数英里的考验。
In mind's special processes, a ten-mile run takes far longer than the 60 minutes reported by a grandfather clock. Such time, in fact, hardly exists at all in the real world; it is all out on the trail somewhere, and you only go back to it when you are out there.
考虑到 Mind 的特殊流程，十英里的跑步时间远远长于老爷钟报告的 60 分钟。事实上，这样的时间在现实世界中根本不存在。一切都在某个地方的小路上，只有当你离开那里时，你才会回到那里。
The Trial of Miles; Miles of Trials.
迈尔斯的审判；数英里的考验。
