    EP. 75: Dying to Run w/Coach, Nutritionist, Author, Matt Fitzgerald
    Sep 24 2026
    A conversation with endurance sports coach, author, and nutritionist Matt Fitzgerald. He is the author of 35 books including Dying to Run, An Athlete's Quest for One more Finish.

    "When Matt Fitzgerald is struck by long COVID, his lifelong passion—running—becomes a distant memory, leaving him trapped in a failing body that simply won’t cooperate. After authoring dozens of books and articles on athletes pushing the limits of human endurance, he is now forced to confront his own limits in ways he never imagined. Doctors have no answers and every day feels like an endless loop of misery and mental fog, but Fitzgerald is determined to reclaim his life and his passion."

    We talk about his book Dying to Run and his experience contracting and living with long COVID and I ask Matt to describe long COVID to the listener. We also talk about what went through his mind having to face the potential possibility that his endurance sport activities would be over, and his desire to go out on his own terms. We talk about how he is feeling now and how he has rebounded.

    Finally I get Matt's opinion on AI and it influence on training and racing for the athlete and the coaching experiences.

    A conversation with Dean Karnazes, ultra-marathon runner, and author. Among many accomplishments he holds the record for the longest continuous run of 350 miles in 80 hours and 44 minutes without sleep, and winner of the Badwater 135 milre run in Death Valley California. His first book, Ultramarathon Man: Confessions of an All-Night Runner, details his ultra endurance running origins and accomplishments. He's since written 4 more books including 50/50 which details the secrets he's learned in running 50 marathons in 50 states, in 50 days.

    We talk about his origin story and the books he's written about running. We discuss his running accomplishments including the 350 mile consecutive run, Badwater and the 50 marathons in 50 states in 50 days.

    We have an exhange about the boom we've seen in marathon running over the last 5-10 years and I get Dean's perspective on what's fueling it.

    We talk about the often oversold adverse effects of running and whether or not he's experienced any of them in the 30 years of running long distance.

    We talk about what he's doing now, what he's doing next, and what he's doing with Greek Running Tours.

    Finally I ask Dean about his legacy and whether or not he thinks about his place in the annals of ultra marathon running.
