We're finally there. Today on Endurance Planet we
finish our countdown and reveal the first and second
most downloaded podcast of the year. There's one
that's inspirational and one that's controversial but
both are memorable. Happy New Year!!!

It's Breakaway Friday on Endurance Planet, a day in which we hear an audio excerpt from a tale of endurance courtesy of Breakaway Books. The cult classic "Once a Runner" was published nearly three decades ago but copies of the book by John L. Parker still fetch hundreds of dollars online. So it was with much anticipation that the sequel "Again to Carthage" was released last month. Today on Endurance Planet we hear an audio excerpt from the long-awaited book about fictional runner Quentin Cassidy.
Endurance Planet listeners have downloaded several hundred thousand podcasts this year but there were 10 that received more attention than the others. Last week we played you number 10 and number 9. Today, we announce number 8, and number 7.

shares her experience on Endurance Planet.
