Today I’m joined by Jason Fitzgerald—fellow podcaster, run coach, and the founder of Strength Running, one of the most trusted names in the running world. Based in Denver, Colorado, Jason brings a deep well of experience to the sport. He ran cross country and track at Connecticut College, dabbled in the steeplechase, and has posted impressive lifetime PRs including a 2:39 marathon and 4:33 mile.
In this episode, we dig into the fundamentals of running—and why Jason believes 99% of our time, effort, and resources should be focused right there. We also explore the remaining 1%—those little extras runners love to obsess over—and whether they’re worth it.
We even tackle his dislike for the term “full marathon,” answer some crowd-sourced listener questions, and uncover the deeper meaning behind Strength Running. If you like smart, practical advice delivered with a side of fun, you’re going to love this conversation.
