Next Race: TBC
Hi! I’m Matt. Welcome to my running blog!
I’m just your regular hard working Yorkshireman who happens to have a passion for running.
I started running to give me a release from the daily stresses of managing a busy IT function in a fast changing financial services sector, finally putting my mental health and wellbeing first. Safe to say running is my safe haven, distracting me temporarily from the mental fatigue of daily life.
My first competitive race was a 10k in Huddersfield back in 2014. I got the running bug pretty quick and ran for the Northowram Pumas for a little while.
My blog is about running, plain and simple. I post about my training, races, progress and any tips I’ve come across.
You can follow me on Strava, Garmin, Twitter, Instagram and Plotaroute.
Thanks for visiting…
