Mario Fraioli

As a coach, I enjoy helping athletes work toward their goals, which over the years have ranged from first finish lines, personal bests, and Boston Marathon qualifying times to national championship titles, Olympic Trials appearances, international podiums, world championship teams, national records, and the Olympic Games. I share my thoughts on running and other topics that interest me in the morning shakeout, my weekly email newsletter to which you should totally subscribe. I also host its namesake podcast, where I glean insight and inspiration from some of the top athletes, coaches, and personalities in the sport of running. From 2010-2016 I was the senior editor at Competitor magazine and I’ve worked on numerous other projects in both the running and media spaces. I grew up in Massachusetts, spent a few years in San Diego, and currently live north of the Golden Gate Bridge with my wife Christine, our four bikes and dozens of pairs of running shoes.
