My name is Matt and this is my running journey. Im 50 years young and love running, and despite my body not always playing ball (more often than not these days), I keep getting those shoes on and clocking up the milage every week.
Im currently at the beginning of a 12 month experiment training low heart rate, specifically the maffetone method. I started low heart rate training in April 2023, with the experiement culminating at London Marathon 2024 to see how much i have improved trianing at my 131bpm MAF heart rate. My goal it to run a sub 4hour marathon, something ive been unable to do during regular training due to consistent injuries.
So if you enjoy running, leanring if low heart rate running works, and in particular watching some middle aged guy try to run like he was 20 still, the please follow along with my journey by hitting that subscribe button.
See you on the startline!

After several weeks of a really nasty virus I’m starting London Marathon 2025 training. A few weeks behind but I’m cracking on and looking forward to 14 weeks of solid training.
