On this episode of Le Run Down I with run coach, marathon runner and community leader, Matt Luke Meyer.
Matt only found running later in life. He moved to New York City to pursue an acting career and was working as a bartender to make a living, which led him down an unhealthy path. He didn’t like who he had become and decided he needed to make a change.
That change was in fact life changing. Running was only a small part of the at the time but five years later, running is all Matt knows. He’s wrapped himself in the new york city run community and pushed his limits further that he ever thought possible. He’s got even bigger dreams on the horizon and if this trend continues, his potential is endless.
