Marc Bloom’s Amazing Racers: The Story of America's Greatest Running Team and Its Revolutionary Coach (Pegasus) is the inspiring, untold story about a group of remarkable athletes and their groundbreaking coach who live and train in startling ways – and are redefining running excellence in the United States. Everything Coach Bill Aris does with his runners – male and female alike – is new and extraordinary, and he has created a new American running dynasty. From adopting long-forgotten “Stotan” creeds – combining the rigors of a Spartan and stoic lifestyle – to delving into teenage developmental psychology and gender-blindness in training, Amazing Racers is a must-read for millions of runners and the millions more who strive for better performance.
