Staying the Course (full title Staying the Course: A Runner’s Toughest Race) by Dick Beardsley is a very open and honest account of the author’s career thus-far, spanning from his rise to marathon stardom, to accounts of some horrendous accidents he went through, to his battling through prescription painkiller addiction, to his famed showdown with Alberto Salazar in the 1982 Boston Marathon.
Beardsley’s voice is honest and positive and I swear that I can hear that Minnesota accent coming out of the pages.
