Dying to Run: When Running Is Who You Are | EP 804

This gets to the emotional center of the episode rather than simply describing Matt's circumstances. Almost every committed runner understands, at least a little, the uncomfortable question underneath it: Who am I when I can't run? Matt describes running as his identity, community and something he ultimately realized he could not simply replace. That gives this title broad relevance beyond long COVID.
