Husband, father, and pediatric oncologist by day. Overzealous, medium-aged endurance runner by earlier in the day. And now...certified running coach! Learn more about who I am and why I decided to become a running coach.

My training philosophy is simple. 80% of your running should be easy. 20% should not. There are a lot of factors that guide what you do with that 20%. Let's see if I can help you figure that out.

Running seems like a simple hobby, until it is not. There is an overwhelming amount of content on training, cross-training, nutrition, gear...here I hope to provide some of the resources (coming soon) I have found most useful on my running journey.
What the Medium Runners are saying…
“Joining Medium Running was the best thing I did in 2024 for my health and my running journey. Matt’s encouragement and training plan helped me set a new PB in the half marathon by 20 minutes!”
“I came to Matt feeling like I had the potential to make some pretty drastic improvements, but had felt plateaued over the past year. Matt quickly restructured my training process, giving me a lot of confidence and I saw some major improvements (and PRs) in just a few months. I’ve been really happy working with Matt, and excited to see where I can go from here! ”
“It’s been an enjoyable journey seeing how much I’ve improved over time with Coach Matt guiding the way. I ran a PB at both, the 2023 Chicago Marathon & 2024 Houston Half Marathon. Each workout has it’s purpose and I often find myself surprised with my running times. Matt is a knowledgeable individual with a strong running background! I wholeheartedly recommend Matt as a coach no matter the base. He is your guy!”
“Matt provides personalized and intelligently curated plans for any race distance from the 5k to the Ultramarathon. His plans are based on solid nuanced education on the current established science of endurance running. I’ve cycled through high-profile and mid-tier coaching levels; his has proven to be the most effective. Additionally, he is passionate about his athletes and genuinely cares for their well-being. I’ve connected with him in a way I haven’t with others in his field. You won’t be disappointed with the services offered at Medium Running!”
“Matt is the first coach I have used for running and it has been a great experience. After communicating my race goals and how much I am able to put in each week, he set up a plan that is clearly communicated and easily accessible at any time that extends all of the way to race week, months in advance. He is prompt to respond to any questions or concerns and is realistic about any adjustments that might need to be made through training.”
