THE LONELY SPRINTER

An articulate story of the author's experiences with the foot racing sport from schoolyard races to the tense Oxford-Cambridge meets. His descriptions of the sport, sketches of the great sprinters and distance runners and his analysis of the techniques and training prove his point that a good runner has a large dose of man's finest virtues, courage, strength, endurance and purpose.
