Matt Clifford

Having enjoyed running during my youth, I regained my love of running again in 2020 when I moved to the local area. I've always tried to challenge myself with something fitness related each year for charity, whether it be a 10km, a half marathon, a sprint triathlon, a 50km hike or a 10-mile obstacle course. I love anything fitness related, especially when there are others around to push you on and encourage you to break down barriers and meet your goals all whilst building a fantastic social network.

Since starting at the club I've entered several races ranging from 5km to a half marathon, some for fun, some for time and I will get to marathon distance eventually!

I qualified as a run leader in 2022 after experiencing the real benefits of being guided through a training schedule to improve my running distances and times. It feels great to be giving back and building people up.

PB's are currently:
5km - 19:49
10km - 42:32
Half marathon - 1:38:13
