Matt Fitgerald is an acclaimed endurance sports and nutrition writer. He is the Author of the Best Selling books “Racing Weight” and “How Bad Do you Want It?” Matt is a Regular Columnist for magazines such as Competitor, Bicycle and Men’s Health Triathlete Men’s Journal, Outside Runners World and Women’s Health. Most recently Matt co-authored his latest book called “80/20 Triathlon” which is a further exploration of the theme of the best-selling 80/20 Running.

In this conversation Matt shares around the concept that if you want to run faster then why it is important to slow down. Through research analysis and then output into a version that is reader friendly in 80/20 running, Matt will explain why the secret of becoming a speedier runner is going slow most of the time. It is contradictory but as Matt explains in today’s conversation, it is a habit and a training principle that has withstood the ages and underpins the performance of the world’s best runners today. Simply put, running too hard Matt believes is the single most common and detrimental mistake that runners make.

Jaryd is a classified T12 visually impaired very fast Track Runner. Earlier this year Jaryd set a World Record for the T12 visually impaired class in the 1500m, and lets not forget Jaryd is just the tender age of 18 years old. Jaryd ran an incredible 3:45 to post the World Record and that is off the back of some other remarkable achievements in recent times. Jaryd recently won the under 20 years able bodied 1500m in a time of 3:49.

Jaryd first divbuted for Australia the 2015 International Paralympic Committee World Champs in Doha Qatar where he placed 7th in the 5000m, he then went on to match this result the 2016 Paralympic Games in doing so shaving 49 seconds off his 2015 time and setting an oceanic record in the 1500m and that 2016 Paralympic Rio experience. Jaryd had an extraordinarily 2016-2017 summer season where he slashed masses of times from his personal best, he went on at just 18 to become a Bronze Medallist in the 2017 World Para Athletics Championships earlier this year.

During this conversation Jaryd takes us through what it was like for him as a young boy.

In this conversation you’re going to hear Clint share around the highs, the lows and the learnings of his sporting career and pursuits to date. Clint takes us back to the early highs of his Junior Professional Surfing Career where he was touted as one of Australia’s hottest up and coming talents. Travelling the world through his teens and also into his early 20’s.

During this conversation, Alex shares a story about when he first became aware of the power of the mind on performance with his own frustrations for years of trying to break the 4 minute mark for the 1500m.
