The Unforgiving Minute (смешанная)

Bucky runs track partly because Steve can't. He has complicated feelings of guilt and inadequacy. Set in 1930-1934, a character study of Bucky Barnes, 880 yard runner.
 
The 880, as a physiological endeavor, closely resembled the organ failure that accompanied death by drowning. The first lap would, and should, pass in a blaze of furious piston-pumping agony. The second was the protracted struggle not to suffocate on the fumes you’d built up, while your legs carried you thoughtless to the end. Even the best 880 men looked to be in slow freefall around the final turn.
