Established in 1983 by Dick Traum, The Achilles Track Club is an international, non-profit organization that encourages people with disabilities to take part in long-distance running with the public by offering bi-weekly training programs and local and national running events. ``I almost don't know how to describe what it would do for us, having a man and woman both win a major marathon,'' said Jim Estes, USA Track and Field long-distance running programs manager. This 340-page book, based on a conference at the Royal Society of Medicine and compiled in association with the London Marathon, examines the history, sociology, physiology, psychology and medical aspects of long-distance running. |
