Gerry Duffy's book is a good read. He's one of the guys that ran 32 marathons in 32 days a few year's back.

Lance Armstrong: It's not about the bike.

Great read, inspirational stuff. If you're struggling to find it in a bookshop, try the fiction section, it may have been moved there.

I've just finished ''Duel in the sun'' by John Brant.... Pikied from TRR's running library.... It's the story of the 1982 Boston Marathon featuring Alberto Salazar and Dick Beardsley... Interesting read on both the running and human level.
