3 Simple Ways to Determine if You are Running Easy Enough: Matt Fitzgerald
Wednesday Apr 29, 2015
Wednesday Apr 29, 2015
Before we reintroduced the podcast, Jeff and I created a survey for our subscribers to give their feedback on how we could improve the podcast, and what you would like to see in the future of the podcast. I was a little confused by one guest request that came up over and over; Matt Fitzgerald. Matt had already been on the show twice, would listeners not want someone different?
It was only once I listened to his two epiosdes that I could see why. He was absolutely fascinating, and such a pioneer within our running world. I loved his approach, and he is the kind of person you could go to a lecture from, and actually enjoy listening to what they have to say.
I then knew that I had to bring him back on the show. Not only did YOU want him, but now I had all these questions that I wanted to ask, that I was sure you would be curious about too.
My guest today is
Matt Fitzgerald

Some of the topics Matt and I are going to discuss today include:
- Why there is no one right way to eat, especially when it comes to chosing a particular diet
- The importance of having a healthy relationship with food
- The psychology behind why we tend to put ourselves in the moderate intensity level within our running even when we know we need to run easy
- Three ways you can measure to see if you are running at the right threshold to allow for recovery
- The importance of developing power as a runner, and how you can use it to become faster at every distance
