Empowering Success Through Partnerships

You run consistently.

So why do you still feel weak, sore, or beat up?

Your legs fade before your lungs do

You have the engine, but your muscles can’t hold form late in runs or races.

The same niggles keep

coming back

Calves. Achilles. Knees. You rest, they settle… then reappear once training builds.

You feel stiff, heavy, and restricted when you run

Stride feels forced. Descents feel unstable. Hills feel harder than they should.

You’re training hard, but not bouncing back

Research consistently shows runners who lift 2x per week improve running economy and reduce injury risk without adding fatigue.

This isn’t your fault.

Most runners follow gym programs that weren’t designed for running.
Too much volume. Poor exercise selection. No progression tied to training load.

I know exactly what it feels like to try every plan out there and still feel like you’re not getting results. I’ve been where you are, frustrated by the lack of structure, unsure of what really works.

  • More control on hills and descents

  • Faster recovery between key sessions

  • A stronger, more stable stride under fatigue

What my Clients Say About my Program

Don’t just take my word for it hear from the runners who’ve transformed their performance with my program.

“I’ve never felt more resilient. Matty’s strength program has reduced my niggles, and I’m powering up hills instead of slogging through them. It’s a game-changer.”

Jamie

“Since adding Matty’s strength sessions, my stride feels smoother and more controlled. I’m recovering faster between workouts and running stronger across the board.”

Sophie

(Sydney Marathon Finisher 2024)

“I used to skip strength work, but now it’s a non-negotiable. My posture’s improved, my knees feel stable, and I’m finally running without that lingering discomfort.”
