Bestselling Author Matt Fitzgerald: How to Perfect the Craft of Running

Bestselling author, running coach, nutritionist, and 2:39 marathoner Matt Fitzgerald is back on the podcast! Today, we're answering the big question: How do you master the sport of running? We're not talking about getting fast or turning pro. Instead, we're talking about mastering the craft of running: becoming process-oriented and in-tune with yourself so that you can achieve your potential in the sport. Matt's new book, Chasing Mastery, addresses this topic. He's also authored 30+ other endurance books, including some of my favorites:  Brain Training Run Faster (with Brad Hudson) Diet Cults In this episode, we talk about how to make good decisions as a runner, athletic development, what being "process-oriented" really means, and other high level topics that will help you achieve your ultimate potential as a runner.
