The Man Who Ran a Marathon a Day for 143 Days—on a Prosthetic Leg (opens the original)
Read excerpt
On April 12, 1980, Terry Fox waded into the Atlantic Ocean off St. John's, Newfoundland, and dipped his prosthetic leg into the water. The Canadian college student was 21 years old and three years removed from the cancer diagnosis that had left him an amputee. As the tide settled behind him, Fox stood ready to run west until he reached the Pacific, waiting for him more than 5,000 miles away.

Read excerpt
“The only good pace is a suicide pace, and today looks like a good day to die.” — Steve Prefontaine “When you race against time, you don’t have to sprint. Others can’t hold the pace if it is steady and hard all through to the tape.” — Paavo Nurmi Every generation of runners arrives at its own answer to the question of how much a person should think while suffering. Steve Prefontaine, perhaps the most mythologized figure in the sporting canon, responded by refusing to slow down, never mind that t
