Running with the Buffaloes was my pick for #7. It was written by Chris Lear and it highlights the 1998 cross country season of the University of Colorado team.
The author followed the Buffaloes throughout their training, competitions, and everything in between. The main characters that were focused on were the coach Mark Wetmore, the star runner Adam Goucher and Chris Severy. The team has many challenges throughout the season including losing one of their top runners in a motorcycle accident and overcoming challenges to make it a successful season. Included in the book was a lot of their training schedules, along with their distances and times. I was shocked with many of the times and distances these guys were putting in during the season...and I don't know much about running!
