running book reviews: "pre: the story of america's greatest running legend steve prefontaine" by tom jordan

i experienced this book to be very inspiring.  during the time that i was reading portions of this book, i found myself picking up my pace on my training runs.  it was especially informative regarding the historical struggles track and field athletes went through to maintain their qualifications to compete in the olympics and actually meet all their cost-of-living expenses.  pre was very much involved in advancing positive changes in that context.
