Matt

I’m Matt, and I’m a geek from Bris­tol, Eng­land. Back in 2009, I was really unfit, and had pretty much given up on exercise.

Then my friend Ben­john asked me to develop a web­site for an iPhone applic­a­tion he’d writ­ten — Get Run­ning. Ben’s enthu­si­asm for run­ning rubbed off on me as I worked, and I decided to give it a try. Within a year of fin­ish­ing the 9-week plan from Get Run­ning, I’d run the Bris­tol 10K and the Bris­tol Half Marathon.

This blog isn’t really inten­ded to enter­tain; it star­ted as a pub­lic com­mit­ment to fin­ish­ing the Get Run­ning plan and it’s car­ried on from there. It’s mostly a train­ing diary which hap­pens to live some­where pub­lic, but I’ve star­ted throw­ing in obser­va­tions on run­ning and gear shop­ping, and the occa­sional review.

If you want to know a bit more about me, you can take a look at my per­sonal site. That one’s mostly of interest to geeks, though.
