Tell us who you are, who you run with? And how long have you been running for?
I’m Matt, a middle-long distance runner. I train with a squad in Melbourne called Eastern Track Club and have been running competitively for about 5 years.
Why do you run?
I love the process of getting better every day. Running gives me purpose, structure, and the chance to see what I’m capable of.
What motivated you to take on your chosen race this year?
Great Ocean Road Running Festival is iconic, and the 14km fits perfectly into my build toward bigger goals later in the season.
Do you have a goal?
To run fast, compete hard, and hopefully find myself a spot on the podium.
What’s your favourite SHYU?
Whichever Crew racing SHYU goes with my current pair of racers! Right now, white | indigo | black
Racing as part of Team SHYU, what does this mean to you?
It’s exciting to represent a brand that genuinely supports athletes and performance. Being part of Team SHYU feels like building something meaningful in the Australian running scene.
