24 year old professional middle distance track runner, Matthew Ramsden is our guest on the podcast today. He was born in South Africa, lived in New Zealand for a bit as a child and then moved to Western Australia when he was 9. Matt shares the drive that it takes to reach and run at the top.

Matt’s Running Tips - Start easy and make sure you’re enjoying it. When you’re just starting, try twenty minutes of one minute run/one minute walk. And start with a lower heart rate and try and keep it down, this will help prevent you from over doing it to begin with.
