Today we dive into his latest book - Running the Dream - one summer living, training, and racing with a team of world class runners half my age.  

We get to hear some of his insights from training with the HOKA NAZ Elite team.  There are so many nuggets that even us mid-pack/back-of-the-pack athletes can take away.  From stories about:

• Teamwork and camaraderie
• Coaching and training regiments
• Injury prevention and treatment
• Environment and altitude training
• Nutrition
• And more

Plus - we get to hear about the fun times coach Bertrand had with Matt in Atlanta during the olympic trials (which included plates a fried chicken before a marathon).
