Join Scott Kummer and Matt Fitgerald for a long run in which they discuss Matt's life in running, coaching and writing. Matt strggles with Long Covid and he was unable to run from it for a substantial amount of time - then decided to try to run the Javalina Jundred 100K anyway. This book chronicles his decision, training and the run itself. It is a great story and a must read for anyone being held back by an injury.
