It's Not about me. It's about you...but in case you were wondering

Hi I'm Matt

As a kid I was a sprinter and loved competing. Whether it was racing in the playground, at the local park or on the track running is in my blood. In my early to mid teens I had worked hard enough represent my school, running club and the county at a national level at multiple sprint distances and disciplines. Short and fast was my passion both on the track and football or rugby pitch. However the thought of running more than 400m felt boring and unnecessary. Fast forward to 2008 and a serious motorbike accident nearly claimed my left leg and left me with traumatic muscle and soft tissue damage that required a year of intensive and continuous rehabilitation. This both marked my retirement from team sports and heightened my appreciation and gratitude for the simple ability to be able to walk and run. Searching for a way to build functional strength and challenge myself I came across the kettlebell and started learning how to use this to get stronger than ever. After a full recover I entered my first 5k (which was an epic learning experience where I set off like an 8 year old on Haribo only to feel like my lungs were going to come out of ears after 2k) and I was hooked. My mission now is to teach runners of all abilities to build a strong and healthy body and mind so that they can achieve their running goals and build a habitual healthy lifestyle.
Stay Strong | Happy Running. Matt

Have you plateaued, been injured or not achieved your potential?

Your are not alone!

Many amateur runners are passionate about improving their performance, whether training for a local 10K, half-marathon, or marathon. They typically juggle work, family, and a busy schedule while trying to fit in their runs. However, despite their dedication, they often face several common challenges

Does This Sound Like You?

right-2.png
  • Recurring or new injury: Amateur runners often suffer from overuse injuries like shin splints, runner's knee, or plantar fasciitis due to poor biomechanics, lack of strength, or improper training loads.
  • Inefficient Running Form: Many runners struggle with inefficient running form, leading to wasted energy, slower times, and not achieving their target times.
  • Lack Strength, Conditioning & Endurance: Runners often neglect strength training, which is key for improving endurance, speed, and resilience. Weakness in key areas like the core, hips, and glutes can limit performance, progress and contribute to injury.
  • Optimising training & what to do when:  Many amateur runners either do too much or too little, leading to burnout or slow progress. They may struggle to find the right balance between long runs, speed work, and recovery.
  • Lack time and motivation: Amateur runners, especially those with busy work and family lives, find it hard to stay consistent with training due to limited time and motivation leading to confidence problems as event day approaches

Want to Beat Your Best?

  • We have integrated strength and mobility to address muscle imbalances and weaknesses, reducing the risk of injury. Proper programming of rest, recovery, and gradual progression also prevents overtraining.
  • Our coaching plans offer best practice and drills on running form and technique, improving efficiency and helping runners maintain good form over long distances, especially in half-marathons and marathons.
  • We integrate a balanced strength program, like kettlebell or bodyweight training, to build functional strength that enhances running performance.
  • We have training plans that incorporate appropriate run volumes, intensities, and strength work, suited to the runner's goals (e.g., half-marathons, marathons) and experience level.
  • Live coaching and community increase accountability, and structure training plans can adapt to fit around busy schedules. Regular check-ins and a personalized approach can help maintain motivation and ensure progress, even for those with limited time.

TESTIMONIALS

Proven Outcomes

"I am so thankful to Matt and The Run Strong Project for supporting me through the London Marathon, everything you could possibly need from a coaching program and an amazing running community. Matt's program was perfectly personalised to my ability level and target goal, I was able to not only complete London Marathon but smash my PB by 10 minutes! So much more than just a running program, with strength workouts, cross training and soft tissue therapy all included in the plan, and adjusted as needed during training to support the inevitable injuries which will occur when taking on the mammoth task of a marathon, the 1-2-1 sessions are flexible to your needs and Matt will make you feel 100% supported throughout. I have been introduced to an amazing running community, the Run Strong group sessions keep you motivated to stick to your training schedule, always some friendly company on the longer training runs, but if you're just starting out as new runner then all abilities are catered for, I can highly recommend The Run Strong Project to runners of all abilities. Looking forward to planning my next challenge with you!"
