Description
In his mid-forties, Matt Fitzgerald earns an extraordinary opportunity to train alongside Northern Arizona Elite, one of America’s premier professional running teams, as he prepares for the Chicago Marathon. Blending a candid, self-deprecating account of his “fake pro runner” summer with the inspiring stories of elite athletes, the book explores ambition, discipline, community, and the limits of human performance. It also translates the science and practices of professional distance running—especially the evidence-based 80/20 method of mostly low-intensity training—into practical guidance for runners of every ability, lifestyle, and budget. Engaging, rigorous, and richly informative, it offers both an inside look at elite training and a realistic blueprint for running more effectively.
