Running With A Vengeance focuses in on the life of Todd Holmes. After a quick flashback to his freshman year of high school, the core of the novel focuses on his senior year. After battling several injuries in his first three years of running, Todd is now projected to be a potential state champion. Todd finds that running is his outlet for life’s issues. He seeks support from his coaches as his relationship with his father is deteriorating at a rapid rate. Coach Yesruh impacts Todd’s life both inside and outside of cross-country. Coach Accir, new to the coaching staff for Todd’s senior year, accompanies Todd on several runs and pushes him to new levels. By running with Accir, Todd learns valuable life lessons that he would not have learned elsewhere.

As a result of Todd being a potential state champion, his teammates feel obligated to train harder. Because of their training, the team has more success than they have ever had in Yesruh’s coaching career. But that doesn’t mean they don’t have their share of mishaps. The team, as well as Todd, is forced to deal with adversity in running and in their own lives. As the season progresses, we see the bonds between Todd and his teammates and coaches become stronger and more crucial. Typical high school issues such as college decisions, relationships, drugs and alcohol, and other matters are all encountered in the Knights’ potential season of record-breaking success.

This novel is an essential companion to all runners of any level. It serves as a motivational eye-opener and as well as a spiritual voyage.
