In this episode, I talk about the major themes and lessons I drew from Chris Lear's book, Running With The Buffaloes, which follows the the 1998 cross country season of the Colorado University Buffaloes men's team. It provides some very unique insights into the mind of legendary coach, Mark Wetmore, as well as members of the team, like Adam Goucher, Mike Friedburg, Jay Johnson, and Chris Severy. I enjoyed the book so much that I listened to the audiobook twice in a row. If you want some context for how much further and faster you may be able to push your body before it breaks, this provides some useful lessons. It will probably get you fired up for a long run, too!
