Matt Meyer is a member of the Boulder Underground team, a running and strength coach at Revo Physiotherapy and Sports Performance, and owns a 2:34 marathon PR. With the help of an impressively high mileage training schedule, Matt's hoping to demolish that PR with a 2:25 this December at CIM (California International Marathon).
Matt can now handle mileage that's jaw dropping to most of us. In our conversation, Matt and I discuss the the details of high mileage running:
No matter how many miles you run each week, there's a lot to be learned from my conversation with Matt. Enjoy!

I'm thrilled to introduce our newest sponsor, SOAR! This London-based brand makes high-performance running apparel that I've been loving over the last 5 months. If you watch our YouTube videos, you'll have seen me rocking a ridiculously short pair of blue 1" split leg shorts.
I have been inseparable from my 1" split leg SOAR shorts and my SOAR painter's hat this summer. And for good reason: their gear is elite-level. They have technically-groundbreaking wet and cold weather gear that's guided by a "function-first" mentality. The result is just amazing apparel that is comfortable, light, and just effective and helping you train.
SOAR is at the forefront of design innovation with ergonomic designs, cutting edge fabrics, and continuously updated clothing that just keeps getting better. See for yourself at SOAR Running and make sure you use the code SRUN15 to save 15% off your order until the end of October.
Thank you to our sponsor, Athletic Greens! They are a health and wellness company that makes AG1. This is a category-leading greens mix that has 75 vitamins and minerals, prebiotics, probiotics, antioxidants, and adaptogens.
One scoop per day is what I've been doing to help me fill in any nutrition gaps in my diet. It also provide a nice boost of energy and focus throughout the day. With all 3 of my kids in school, I know I need to support my immune system or else I'm getting sick and can't train.
I also love that AG1 has changed over the last decade. Athletic Greens has made 53 improvements to the formula based on the latest research to make these nutrients more absorbable.
For our listeners, they are offering a year's worth of free Vitamin D and 5 free travel packs of AG1 with your first purchase. You can sign up for single shipment or for a monthly drop - the choice is yours. Check out Athletic Greens to redeem your offer today.
