- The only pod cast you need if trying to improve as a runner.
Matt does a great job in explaining everything you need to know. I’ve listened to these three or four times over and find new information each time I listen.

United Kingdom3 years ago - Awesome podcast and medically correct
I’m a general practioner (doctor) who is transitioning from cycling to running and want to know more of the science behind it. This podcast seems perfect for every starter, but even more for every runner who wants to run safe and efficient. Matt has an awesome way of explaining all of this, speaking in metaphors so everyone can understand and it’s fun listening. Everything seems to me medically correct and I’m even expanding my (physical) medical knowledge. Thanks my-nerd!

Belgium3 years ago - Great informative content
Hey just wanted to let you know that after listening to a bunch of your podcast episodes and implementing your advice, I shaved nearly two minutes off my two mile run time. My previous best was a 16 minute mile and I just yesterday ran a 14:10. Feels amazing and my knee isn’t hurting like it ordinarily does after pushing myself. Maybe it’s the 180 tempo or maybe it’s maybeline.

United States4 years ago - Matt is well-suited to this format
No surprise that a guy who most of us discovered because of his clever and insightful Instagram posts would make good podcasts. Lots of good info- Matt is legit- and his speaking cadence is such that you don’t miss anything at 1.5x.

Dr. Minard’s Learn 2 Run method changed how I approached running and made me a much more efficient runner. His ability to explain the “why” behind injury, movement and efficiency allows you to make corrections more quickly. Totally worth a listen!
