Once a Runner


On this week’s episode of the Shakeout Podcast, special guest Caela Fenton, a staff writer for Canadian Running, joins editor Michael Doyle, staff writer Tim Huebsch and web editor Sinead Mulhern. The episode revolves around the novel Once a Runner, the famous fictional running book that chronicles the life of Quenton Cassidy on his quest for a sub-4:00 mile. The 1978 self-published work is considered among the most famous running novels of all-time.
