If you're a runner or have interest in this sort of thing I highly recommend the book The Perfect Mile (https://www.amazon.com/Perfect-Mile-Athletes-Minutes-Achieve/dp/0618562095).

I read this book. It was really, really entertaining. It's a shame how agonizingly close Wes Santee got to cracking the barrier.
