Joining the club after moving down to Melbourne once he finished up high school, Matthew recounts some of his favourite memories training under Tom Kelly, along with his journey being into the American college system after being scouted by the Lamar Cardinals. The non-linear journey isn't sugar coated and he gives us a real look into the last few years of running along with a closer look at what his training looked like before his 2:23.06 debut at Melbourne Marathon. Definitely an athlete to keep your eye on, this is not an episode to be missed!
