520    The inspiring, untold story about a group of remarkable 
       athletes and their groundbreaking coach who live and train
       in startling ways--and are redefining running excellence 
       in the United States. What would one call taking teens 
       with no evident running talent and challenging them with 
       boundless hill training combined with mantras from rock 
       'n' roll, techniques from Kenya, philosophy from Australia,
       and turning them into champions? Is it revolutionary? Or a
       risky rebellion against running--and teenage--norms? Coach
       Bill Aris has heard both, but one thing is indisputable. 
       Everything Aris does with his runners--male and female 
       alike--is new and extraordinary, and he has created a new 
       American running dynasty. The cross-country runners of 
       Fayetteville-Manlius, or F-M, in upstate New York have 
       dominated high school running for 15 years, sweeping boys'
       and girls' titles at the Nike Cross Nationals 
       championships (NXN) in 2014 in an unprecedented 
       achievement. The girls' team, empowered by Aris' unique, 
       unwavering brand of gender equity, has won 11 of the last 
       13 NXN titles, some by margins of over 100 points. The 
       boys' team has the best cumulative national record of NXN 
       podium performances. F-M domination has shocked the sport 
       for its defiance of accepted running principles and 
       limitations. One year at NXN, the F-M girls defeated the 
       all-star field of top teams by an average of 59 seconds 
       per girl in the 5k race. Another year, the girls ran 
       faster than their teenage Kenyan counterparts, who 
       competed in the Portland, Oregon event as an international
       showcase. Across the country, coaches awed by F-M and 
       unaware of the team's methods and discoveries, whispered, 
       "How do they do it?" From adopting long-forgotten "Stotan"
       creeds--combining the rigors of a Spartan and stoic 
       lifestyle--to delving into teenage developmental 
       psychology and gender-blindness in training, Amazing 
       Racers is a must read for millions of runners and the 
       millions more who strive for better performance.
