My second wind on the 800m

Description

I don’t run to win anymore. I run to keep going.
This book emerged from a vital need: to catch my breath again.

At the age of 48, after twenty years away from sport, an inner fracture and several losses, Gérald Le Cun returns to the track.
He thought he was simply going to run again.
But he found so much more: a direction, a method and a raw joy.

My Second Wind on the 800 Metres is not a handbook. It is an inner journey.
That of an ordinary man who, step by step, comes alive again.

From Châteauroux to Toruń, from Pescara to Gainesville, each race becomes a symbol.
And every training session, a vow.

Down the road and with his coach, he develops a unique method: Power4Running.
Designed for runners over 40 who want to run fast—without getting injured.
Focused on the treadmill, the body’s intelligence and respect for time, it blends discipline with clarity.

In the final part, portraits of Master athletes extend the journey.
These women and men who prove that age erases nothing—it reveals what truly matters.

It is a heartfelt story, with no mask.
A concrete method born from real life.
A new breath for those who want to start again.
Not to become who they were before, but to go further.
