About

Hi, I'm Matt.

I started running in 1983 after watching my dad run the Boston Marathon. I’ve written 40 books for endurance athletes, including the bestsellers 80/20 Running and How Bad Do You Want It?, and I’ve been coaching since 2001.

Wherever you want to go with your running, I’m here to guide you with unmatched knowledge and expertise, support and empowerment, and genuine caring.

What Athletes Say

“

Working with Coach Matt is the best athletic decision I’ve ever made. What sets him apart is the mental teaching: He has revolutionized my performance mindset, not by spoon-feeding or coddling but by giving me the tools and the teaching that I needed to reach my own understanding of the process.

Matt meets you where you are and creates a custom, achievable plan that starts to bring improvement almost immediately. Importantly for me, he respects the hiccups that come from working with an athlete with a chronic condition, hearing me when I need to make last-minute adjustments. With Matt’s help, I just achieved a 42-minute post-injury marathon PR!

“

Matt helped me train for a marathon after a year of inconsistent running. After five months of training, I PR’d the Chicago marathon! His training challenged me but is so balanced, I never felt burned out. I highly recommend it.

Working with Matt has taken my running to another level that I couldn’t have imagined was possible. The structure, weekly training plans, feedback on each workout, and monthly 1:1 calls keep everything purposeful.
