Running is frequently an individual sport. Everyone derives something
different from the act of running. In turn, each individual has their
own personal running goals.
My focus is on enabling and empowering individuals to achieve and
exceed their personal running goals.

Accelerate
Looking for an outdoor crosstraining/fitness program to round out your running training? Accelerate
could be for you!
'Accelerate' is designed to help runners address
areas that are critical for running performance AND
injury risk reduction, but are often neglected. Accelerate is
designed for, but not limited to runners.
The program combines agility drills, strength
stations, and core stability to keep your body in peak
condition. Each day will involve a short warmup that
includes jogging, stretching and some yoga flow to
wake your muscles and mind in the morning.
While Accelerate will involve
running, the main focus
is not on running itself, but on conditioning for stability,
core strength, and agility. All of the aforementioned are
CRITICAL for running well and reducing risk of
running related injuries/aggravations.
Looking to train AND contribute to a GREAT cause? While TNT and The National AIDS Marathon Training Program are wonderful organizations that help great causes, there are a MYRIAD of EXCELLENT local causes that need our help too!
Upcoming Training/Fundraising Programs
Marathon Matt is partnering with several non-profits in 2008 to launch running/fundraising programs that benefit their respective cause:
Unlike other training/fundraising programs which
often require participants to raise several THOUSAND
dollars, my programs rarely require participants to
raise more than $1300!
If you're looking for a nice amalgamation of fitness
and philanthropy, I'd encourage you to check one of
the aforementioned programs out.
If you work for a non-profit and are interested in raising money for your cause, email Matt for more details about a custom running program to benefit your cause.
