In this episode, we talk with Mario Fraoli.

Mario is a well-respected coach, athlete, and founder of the Morning Shakeout podcast and

newsletter, which comes out every Tuesday morning.

And if you aren't already a subscriber, consider this a recommendation to become one.

We cover the Boston Marathon Race Weekend, Gateways into Ultra Running, the future of

our sport. We dig into the behind the scenes of his content creation process at the morning

shakeout. We look into his thoughts on consistency, inspirations for the work he does. We get into

his coaching background, and he gives advice for newcomers that

are trying to break into the profession. If you are someone who enjoys banter about our sport,

but also have thought about putting running related content out into the world, or if you

have ever thought about getting into coaching, this is a great episode. Mario is one of those rare

individuals who is

equally talented as an athlete a coach and a media person in our sport. I think you will enjoy

this one and without further ado welcome welcome to the single track podcast.

Thanks so much for having me.

Yeah.

So I had a couple questions prepared for you, but I want to address the latest thing that's not off the press, and that is the Boston

Marathon. Can you walk us through what inspired you to return there, what the weekend was like?

And if you want to talk about the training and the lead-up and the race itself, that'd be great, too.

Sure. What's today? Thursday, we're having this conversation. So I guess I'm three days

removed from the

2021 Boston Marathon, the first ever fall, Boston Marathon. It was my fifth time running the event.
