Review: A Good Solid Read - If you've every wanted to know what it's like to train and race on a top college cross country team, this book will give you an insider's view. This book gives takes you through a fall season with the Colorado Buffaloes and follows it chronologically through the training and racing schedule. The book is concise and well written, and covers some personal trials and tribulations of some of the athletes and Coach Wetmore. As a female runner, however, I'm still looking for some female perspectives. This book briefly talked about the women's part of the team, but didn't really share any personal information about any of the athletes, and they must be pretty tough to get through some of Wetmore's workouts!!! Maybe some day, there will be more about female distance running, although I still enjoy reading about the men. Happy trails.
Review: Epic Running Tale - I have purchased many good (and some not so go books) on desertcart over the years. Though these good books have moved me and I have thought about writing a review to say so, this is the first book to move me to write a review. As someone who has been a runner since the age of 10, and ran cross-country and track in high school and college, I might be a bit biased towards a story of this nature. That said, the crisp writing and building narrative composed by Mr. Lear made me feel like I was training alongside the Buffaloes in the Fall of 1998. It is a rare talent for an author to give such an in-depth account of the training details of athletes, without it being tedious or reading like a how-to book. Instead, Lear uses the details of the workouts composed by Coach Mark Wetmore to tell a story and explain the method behind this successful madness. While at times I felt tired just from reading about the volume and density of training the Buffaloes were experiencing and enduring, and would in my mind will them (15 years retroactively) to just take a break, Lear also lets you hear from Wetmore and the athletes and learn why they are so committed to this program. You will also come away with a new found or revived appreciation for just how amazing a runner Adam Goucher was before injuries took a toll on his professional career, and the hurdles he had to overcome in life to get where he did. Some will undoubtedly criticize Wetmore's training, particularly the number of hard workouts spaced so closely together. But once again, this is not a how-to book, and Wetmore, besides acknowledging the ongoing need to reassess and improve, asks for no one's buy-in to his methods other than his own athletes. And those athletes, most notably Adam Goucher did believe. Ultimately, that's what this book is about, the power of believing in yourself, your coach, your teammates, and a higher purpose to overcome tragedy and achieve your goals, be they in running or life. So I'll answer the question, "Should I read this book?," with a mantra that takes on special significance in the story of the Buffaloes: "No doubt about it."

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ A powerful and tragic book that explores the dedication of distance athletes.
*by C***E on June 11, 2021*

As a runner myself, I would recommend this book to any and all distance athletes (not just runners). It presents a true dialogue where many other books and movies fail when it comes to the level of dedication it takes to achieve our goals in our sports. Packed full of inspirational quotes and inherent advice, this book was definitely worth a read. Unfortunately, the ending proves a little confusing and anticlimactic.
