MattyP.Fit

I realised I’ve never really introduced myself properly on here…

So here’s a little bit of my story 👇

I grew up in Hawke’s Bay, and sport has always been a huge part of my life. From playing rugby as a kid to breaking my neck in high school, there have definitely been a few setbacks along the way.

Before fitness became my career, I spent 5 years on the tools as a qualified builder. Early mornings, long days and hard work taught me a lot about discipline and work ethic.

Then fitness changed everything.

What started as something I did for myself became something I fell in love with, eventually leading me into coaching and helping others become stronger, fitter and more confident.

Then I found HYROX.

Running, strength, endurance and the mental challenge, it gave me something new to chase and turned me into the hybrid athlete I am today.

The last year has been a wild ride. Big running volume, big goals, qualifying for Worlds in Sydney… and then another setback with a stress fracture.

It hasn’t always gone to plan.

But that’s why I love documenting the journey. Not just the PBs and race days, but the setbacks, doubt, rebuilding and everything in between.

I’m grateful I get to coach, compete and create content around something I genuinely love.

And honestly… I’m only getting started.

Thanks for being here 🤝

WEEK 1/16 Pro Solo HYROX MELBOURNE: SUB 60

27km running 🏃‍♂️
156km cycling 🚴‍♂️

Still building back up from a little ni**le, so the focus this week was on staying consistent without forcing the running volume.

Getting the work in, building the engine, and slowly bringing the legs back to where they need to be.

16 weeks to go.
The goal: SUB 60.

Week 1/16. We’re just getting started.
