Matthew Zegveld shares his running journey in this episode of the podcast. Matt was a good short distance runner as a child and picked it up again about 9 years ago and has since build a strong distance foundation. At the moment he isn’t that concerned about whether he wins races or not - what he is driven by is getting personal bests in his running. He loves being an example for his 3 kids, showing them what you can achieve if you give it a go. Running is a little like life - “if you put in you will get out”.
Matt’s running tips - slowly build up your kilometres/intensity and join a group or a club (like ParkRuns)
