S2E12: Matt Fitzgerald on Dying to Run: Long COVID, a 100K, and One More Finish
Episode 12
Sunday, 4 October, 2026
Long COVID took running away from Matt Fitzgerald for more than three years. With no sign of recovery, he signed up for the Javelina Jundred, a 100K trail race in Arizona's Sonoran Desert, and ran it on a day of record-breaking 99-degree heat.Matt joins Alex and Jen to talk about his new book, Dying to Run: An Athlete's Quest for One More Finish. He explains why he needed closure, why the race had to be 100 kilometers, and why he felt he had already won the morning after he registered. They also talk about running as a dependency, how competitiveness and spirituality fit together for him, why he wants running to be a big tent, and how to adjust your goals when a race goes wrong. No spoilers: you'll have to read the book to find out how the race ends.Dying to Run is available in print, digital, and audio wherever you buy books.
