Maybe the author got a poor break that Webb was injured for part of the time while he was "embedded". Nevertheless, you didn't really get much of a sense for what was in the hearts and minds of these runners. Seemed like, as a group, the individual runners and the coach would be interesting characters, but they didn't really emerge as sch on the page. ( ) Lear spent a year at University of Michigan following Webb, the first high-schooler to go sub-4:00 in years, and his teammates. As he did in previous works, Lear forged friendships with the team members, which allowed him to gain more access than he might by just sticking around practice. A good read for running enthusiasts, although some think it portrays Webb in a poor light. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

HTML:For more than three decades, not one American schoolboy had run a sub-4:00 mile. Then, in January 2001, Alan Webb clocked a 3:59.86 mile, the fastest indoor U.S. high school mile ever. Just a few months later, the young track star achieved legendary status: he ran a 3:53.46 mile-a full 2 seconds faster than former record holder Jim Ryun. Everywhere Webb was hailed as "America's Next Great Miler." In Sub 4:00, noted track writer Chris Lear follows Webb to college at the University of Michigan. As we witness Webb's freshman track season-watching him struggle with injuries, interpersonal conflicts, the politics of the collegiate track world, and his own aspirations to become the best miler ever-we get an unprecedented behind-the-scenes view of the life of one of the nation's most promising track athletes with a new chapter describing the latest developments in Webb's fascinating career.
