🗣️ "There’s no scientific thing that I’m going off of. I hate to call it common sense, but it’s like you run further, you run more, and you’re able to run faster. I know a lot of people disagree with that because it’s so atypical. I guess to answer your question, I’m not really comparing myself necessarily to anyone in particular or any training style. I think that’s what makes it special almost: That it’s sort of unique to me."
LA Marathon champion and 2:07:56 marathoner Matthew Richtman joins us to formally introduce himself to the running world after the breakthrough run.
Matt shares insights into his fearless move in the race that had him pull away decisively, why he’s got a traditional and “old-school” approach to training, signing with Asics and how it feels to be part of the next generation pushing U.S. marathoning forward.
Plus: We make sense of his Strava — which includes some unique runs, art and some context on where he made gains in training.

4th place overall and age group winner at the MKE Veteran’s Day race. 18:49 for 3.3 miles; 17:03 through 3 is the fastest I’ve run in a few years. Used some of that Old Man Fitness as I’m only two weeks back from injury
