Matt Fitzgerald is Dying to Run

24 de setembro de 2026 · 53 min

Notas do episódio

Matt Fitzgerald is too sick to run. So, naturally, he trained for an ultra marathon.

Matt Fitzgerald, runner, coach, author, and friend of the podcast, has been suffering from devastating symptoms of long COVID.

Running makes everything worse.

He waited years to get healthy enough to run again and when that didn’t happen, he ran in spite of it.

His new book, Dying to Run, tells of his wildly unrealistic mission to train for a 100k race, even if it killed him.

We talk about:

  • How long COVID took away one of the most important things in his life,

  • How he coped with the dramatic change in his life and identity, and

  • Why he was determined to get closure on racing, despite the risks..

RECENT REVIEWS:

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Cheers!! 🏃‍♀️

As someone who just began their running journey last year this podcast has been integral to building my confidence and success as a runner. I love how the podcast is structured, the length is perfect and never feels too repetitive, there’s always something helpful to discuss! The nutrition tips and strength training have been extremely helpful. I can’t believe it’s already been a year, I’ve listened to every single episode and look forward to what’s to come in the future!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Menopause…

Thank you for saying the silent part out loud! As a fellow female runner of a proud 54 1/2 (throwback to childhood) it’s so helpful to listen to women talk out loud about menopause, the affects, no matter the level of severity, and tips on how to fight back! I love my aging body and what it’s still capable of doing, rather than focusing on what it can no longer do. Love your podcast! Keep fighting! 🙂
