Review :
" """It's a joy to read Running With the Legends and to indulge in its expansive treatment of some of running's pantheon. As someone who lives the life about which he writes, Sandrock is a natural to write this book.""" Scott Douglas Editor, Running Times """I feel I have 21 new friends in the running community. It's like I've watched them compete and have been right next to them through their triumphs and disappointments. When I have a question about my own running career, I can just open Running With the Legends, read a chapter and my question will be answered.""" Gwynn Coogan 1992 10,000 meter Olympian; 1995 Twin Cities Marathon winner "
