The Duel

You're in for a reading treat: Here is Runner's World Contributing Editor Hal Higdon's account of the classic duel between Alberto Salazar and Dick Beardsley at the 1982 Boston Marathon. Salazar and Beardsley hammered at each other relentlessly on a brutally hot day. Neither runner was quite the same afterwards. This 12,000-word mini-book tells the full story of what many historians consider the top distance running mano a mano of all time.

Reviewer Adam Bourque had this to say: â€œIf you're a big fan of the marathon and in particular, Boston Marathon history, you'll love this tale of the now legendary 'duel' between Salazar and Beardsley. The story rivets you with step-by-step analysis of the race from post race interviews with the two runners. You get the inside story about what was going on before and during the race as it unfolded in the minds of Salazar and Beardsley. Higdon's tale gives the reader a great appreciation for the race and mental battles that unfold in such an epic showdown. Truly enjoyable. You can read this in one sitting on a long evening. Great motivation and highly recommended.â€

This is the full story available at a price less than you would pay for your monthly issue of Runner's World.
