    Dr. Matt Minard received his Doctor of Physical Therapy degree from The University of Dayton in 2013, and then completed an orthopedic residency program in Charlotte, NC. Matt started an Instagram account (@learn.2.run) to help people run safely after he saw an uptick in running-related injuries after the pandemic started and many turned to running outdoors for exercise after gyms closed. Matt's passion is to keep people running because he personally understands how mentally and physically therapeutic running is. Learn.2.Run offers an abundance of free education along with training plans ranging from military to recreational runners. He’s not sure what the future holds but knows he won’t stop until the world is running safer.
