About Mat

I coach and compete in distances events from half marathon through to ultra marathon and Iron distance triathlon. My speciality is distance trail running but I find it hard to resist a good marathon.
When I'm not talking about running I am raising two wonderful boys with my wife in New Zealand....and probably talking to them about running. I have been involved in fitness and sport for over 20 years. My work in running began about 12 years ago when I realised how we could take this physical healthy way of being into the world of adventure and emotional growth.

Coaching Philosophy

Having worked in New Zealand, Australia and the Netherlands, I have helped people of all ages and backgrounds to achieve results they didn't think were possible. My coaching philosophy is to make our bodies strong and resilient to enable us to live life to the fullest - allowing us to take on adventures where we come alive.
