Our Founders
Mathew WoodCo-FounderI got into running at a young age through a combination of being naturally quick over the sprints and having a father (2.30 for a marathon and current North of England Athletics Chairperson) who loved running. As well as playing football at a high level regionally I competed over all distances until specialising in middle distance at around 14 years old.
I won my first national title over 800m in the u15 category, I won my second national title in the u17 category over 1500m setting a British record which lasted 10 years. I then competed for my country twice over the next 2 years in Europe, winning on both occasions. I then went to Loughborough University on a sports scholarship, where my time was plagued with injuries before finally ending with a broken femur.
It was during this time I became heavily involved in the behind the scenes of running, I was Loughborough Athletics Club Chairperson (at the time the largest athletics club in the UK) where I was exposed to organising athletics events, social events and spending time making lots of friends in the athletics world. I then moved into the world of marketing, entrepreneurship and business through numerous ventures in the UK & Australia. I run on a regular basis (breaking 3 hours for the marathon recently) and take part in as many RunThrough’s as I can.
Ben GreenCo-FounderIt’s not just kept me physically healthy, exercise has had a huge impact on my mental health over the years and also driven me to develop ambitions, motivation and commitment.
I grew up from a baby seeing my dad and uncle running. My dad was an age group world 1500m record holder, a national cross and 1500m track champ, my uncle was a 28 min 10k, 62 Half and 2-12 marathon runner (World Champ Team Bronze medallist) and my brother was Northern 800m age group champ, so it’s always been in the family. I medalled in the national championships at 15 but didn’t win my first “big” title until I was 18 when I won the 1500m Northern Championships.
For the next 4 years I took athletics pretty seriously, on a scholarship at Loughborough whilst representing England on four occasions and, for a short time, being ranked in the top 10 under 20s in the world for 800m. After Uni, running took more of a back seat as I moved to London and got stuck into Unilever’s Finance Graduate Scheme, where I used running and fitness more for the mental benefits of keeping active. During this time I broke the world record with my dad for the fastest father/son marathon & half marathon and ran 2.30 for the marathon distance.
