Eens een hardloper

The book's authenticity really stood out to me—did the author base this on personal experience or extensive research? I wonder how much of it was drawn from real training routines.

The protagonist's relentless pursuit of greatness made me root for him but also made me think about the toll such dedication can take. How do others interpret his sacrifices?

The pacing felt very deliberate—was that a conscious choice to mirror the protagonist's mental state? I’m curious about the writing process behind that.
