Matty Abel - Why everyone should run, and how to get better at it!

In this latest episode, I sit down with professional running coach Matty Abel and hear all about why he is so passionate about running and the incredible endurance events he's competed in. How he trains for them both physically and mentally, the ones that went well and also the ones not so well and why this was.

I also learn how he works with his clients to make them better runners, sharing his step by step process on program design, explaining the need to taper and how and why we need to recover properly. 

We chat a lot about how he deals with being a coach and the pressure that sometimes comes with it and what he does to ensure he is performing at the right level. His reply when I ask him "So what do you to look after your mental health?" "Run!

Matty's businesses include:
