#030 - On today’s episode, we’re talking to Coach and Race Director Marathon Matt Forsman.  Matt’s been a fixture of the Bay Area running community for over 15 years.

After hitting some stumbling blocks early in his marathon career, Matt was able to post some incredible marathon times, including a 2:45 marathon.

In this episode you’ll learn about how a coach influenced Matt to pursue running, and eventually marathons.  How a freak compression fracture almost derailed his career at the start.  Why Matt’s running clubs are known for community.  And, how he got into Race Directing and the ingenious things he’s doing to keep people motivated during the pandemic.
