This week’s episode is with Mario Fraioli from Novato, CA. Mario is a road and trail runner, elite coach, and writer who lives in Marin. He shares his weekly thoughts on running and life in his must-read The Morning Shakeout Newsletter and must-listen The Morning Shakeout Podcast (https://themorningshakeout.com/).
In this episode we discuss how Mario celebrated his 38th birthday by chasing down his high school PR in the mile and we do a deep dive into some of the 38 life lessons that he shared in his newsletter. Some highlights from our conversation:

How adversity is just an opportunity to see how you respond to what’s being thrown at you

Why simple is often better (but how simple isn’t easy)

What he learned from living in different places throughout his life

Why he runs without a watch at least once a week

His favorite books, authors, and intentional approach toward his weekly newsletter

Why he would never bet against Meb Keflezighi

How he shapes his life around mood following action and why that important, especially during the pandemic
