But, like many passionate amateur runners, he never felt he was quitefulfilling his potential. If he follows the training, nutrition, and lifestyle of an eliterunner, just how fast could he go?In his mid-forties, Matt at last has the freedom to do nothing but train, if onlyfor the span of one summer. The time is now. He convinces the coach of NorthernArizona Elite, one of the country’s premier professional running teams, to let himtrain with a roster of national champions and Olympic hopefuls in the runningmecca of Flagstaff, Arizona, leading into the Chicago Marathon.
