Allison Gaillard and Matt Garrett discuss Matt's running journey, which began in his childhood when he started running with his father. He participated in cross country and track in middle and high school but stopped running after high school. However, he returned to running while preparing for the police academy. Matt's running journey includes obstacle course racing, adventure racing, and road racing.
One significant lesson Matt has learned from running is not to take his physical ability for granted. He emphasizes that being able to run or engage in physical activities is a precious gift that many people don't have. He was reminded of this when a friend with health issues expressed a desire to run but couldn't. Matt's experience has motivated him to make the most of his abilities and encourages others to do the same.
Matt emphasizes the importance of seizing life's opportunities and giving your all because "this life is not a rehearsal." Matt expresses his gratitude for being part of the podcast and commends its role in connecting people within the running community.
