Matt Fitzgerald is the author of well-known books like 80/20 endurance and in his most recent book titled “Chasing Mastery”, he provides 25 lessons to reach your full athletic potential.

During the episode, we discussed topics including:

  • What it means to achieve mastery of your sport
  • What are the habits of elite athletes that succeed in reaching their full potential
  • Why keeping your training fun and hard is key to staying motivated
  • How to top athletes succeed using very different training strategies
  • Why personal character matters when it comes to improving as an athlete
  • What Matt’s personal pursuit of mastery has looked like as a non-elite runner and author

Matt makes it clear that mastering running has nothing to do with talent. Instead, he shows how anyone can become your best self as a person and athlete.
