Welcome to the 3rd edition of In My Opinion where Matt Fox - Founder at Sweat Elite - disusses all things running and shares his (sometimes contraversial) opinions about things. In this weeks episode Matt talks about running the Ageo City Half Marathon and getting beaten by over 200 Japanese people but still running 66minutes, how the Ekiden content has been coming along, learnings about muscle cramping and some of the funnier reasons people believe he's been cramping in races, great Strava accounts to follow, the USA Marathon Olympic Trials and the recent drama around the start time. The standard segments are in there too - the workouts of the week and the recommended products and services.  Hope you enjoy and as always - send me some thoughts at [email protected] Workouts of the week #1: 2 sets of (10 x 1min).
