About Mario Fraioli
about
Launched in November 2015, the morning shakeout is a weekly email newsletter about running and other worthwhile topics, written by me, Mario Fraioli.
Every Tuesday morning, I offer up my unapologetic take on things that interest, inform, entertain, or inspire me in some way. My experiences as an athlete, coach and journalist have provided me a unique perspective on the sport, and I regularly share my insights and opinions on issues I’m knowledgeable and passionate about to create awareness, generate meaningful dialogue, and spur healthy debate.
But that’s not all! I also have a podcast and occasionally interview people who are doing interesting or inspiring things in running, folks like Tommy Rivers Puzey and Alison Mariella Désir, top athletes like Boston Marathon champion Des Linden and four-time Olympian/New York City Marathon champion Shalane Flanagan, creatives such as filmmaker Billy Yang and writer/filmmaker Brendan Leonard, and coaches like Diljeet Taylor, Mike Smith, Karen Boen, Frank Gagliano, and Mark Coogan, and many others.
In short, the morning shakeout is a carefully crafted blend of informed commentary, engaging exchanges, and smart curation, intentionally conversational in its tone.
