What does the word “mastery” mean to you?

In some sense, it’s when you’ve reached the top of the mountain. You’ve learned everything there is to know, and the only thing left to do is retire or teach.

But what if nothing can truly be mastered? Is it still worth the chase?

In this conversation with runner, coach, and writer, Matt Fitzgerald, we talk about:

The concept of mastery in running and how it can help you improve at any age,
Why some runners never reach their potential, and
How you can get closer to achieving your running dreams, if you really want to.

Welcome to the Planted Runner. I’m Coach Claire Bartholic and my mission is to help you improve your running, your mindset, and your life with science-backed training and plant-based nutrition.

If you need more help, you can order my book The Planted Runner: Running Your Best With Plant-Based Nutrition wherever you get books or request a copy from your local library.
