When you go out for a run, you expect to come back.   Running is healthy. It makes your body and mind feel good. You’re no couch potato. You don’t smoke. You eat healthy. You are a runner, and you are doing everything right for your good health. And yet every year thousands of seemingly healthy people — from high school football players to adult recreational athletes — die from cardiac arrest. Legendary marathoner Alberto Salazar was one of them — he was clinically dead for 14 minutes.     After more than 5 minutes without a pulse, one can expect brain damage. After 10 minutes without a fresh supply of blood to the brain, you die — at least 99 percent of people do. But Salazar didn’t. He walked away — saved by an inexplicable combination of science and grace. In his fascinating memoir, 14 Minutes, Salazar shares his lessons from a life of running and what 14 minutes of death taught him about second chances. It’s a rich life story chronicling Salazar’s tempestuous relationship with his father, a former friend of Fidel Castro; his high school years training with the legendary Greater Boston Track Club; his unhealthy obsession to train through pain; and his dramatic wins in New York, Boston, and South Africa, all set against the backdrop of the history of the late-’70s running boom and the colorful races of the next four decades.
