Summary

This week on the podcast I had an awesome conversation with Ben Rosario, head coach of HOKA Northern Arizona Elite, and Matt Fitzgerald, co-founder of 80/20 Endurance and prolific author of endurance sports titles, about their new book, Run Like A Pro (Even If You’re Slow), which was recently published. This was more of a Coaches Corner discussion than my typical interview-style show and in it we discussed what amateur runners can learn from their professional counterparts while covering topics like training volume, recovery, nutrition, having a champion’s mindset, and a lot more.

0:09.9	see how good they can be.
0:10.9	They don't cut up in arbitrary times or what other people think or in amateur runner
0:16.1	terms, what the Boston qualifier is for their particular age group, they don't think
0:22.1	that way.
0:23.1	And a lot of people do, and a lot of people are wired that way, but a champion just wants
0:26.3	to get the most out of themselves, and they enjoy the hardest parts of training and

1:22.2	script to make sure that I don't forget anything that I'm supposed to say.
1:26.3	So I'm bringing Chris in for this one so we can have more of a conversation about the upcoming
1:30.1	episode, what it's about, and what you can look forward to in it, also to talk about
