English runner Matthew Clowes calls in from Cardiff, Wales to chat with Brady about coming across his fartlek challenge and going through his impressive range of personal bests from a sub-4 minute mile to running 2:13 at the 2019 Berlin Marathon.
Before Berlin however, Matt recounts his horror marathon debut at London and how despite torrid the race played out, why he didn’t DNF from that performance. Matt then explains what he learnt from that experience and turning it into perfect race execution at the Berlin Marathon. He touches on how he’s currently getting through the pandemic lockdown and then goes into his running origin story, switching from football as a junior and his progression through the “brutal” cross country of the UK and then transitioning into his unique time running through the American college system where he spent 5 years navigating the scene.

 Matt goes into fitting in his training around his career as a Clinical Educator and blending the different philosophies from coaches over the years, then closing out with his optimism on the current state of Team GB marathon running.
