"I've been reading Bill Rodgers' book, Marathon Man, and they let him go. And I tried to visualize that, race the way he did." --Meb Keflezighi, moments after winning the 2014 Boston Marathon "Required Reading" --New York Post "This book is more than a good read. It's my new Bible." --Fitness "An absorbing portrait...of the grueling stress and subtle strategizing of long-distance races, and of the plucky, slapdash subculture of marathoning in its salad days." --Publishers Weekly "Bill Rodgers is the most celebrated men's distance runner in history." --National Distance Running Hall of Fame "If anyone can rally runners to a cause, it is Rodgers, who remains by some measures the most popular road racer of all time" --Runners World "Trace the popularity of road running today, and the roots lead back to Rodgers." --South Bend Tribune "I could see reading this book on the beach and being inspired to do an afternoon run." --Ross Martinson, co-owner of Philadelphia Runner writing for BeWellPhilly.com's Summer Reading List
