WELCOME TO RUNNING NEEDS

Running Needs is a multi-disciplinary service for runners of all abilities, from fun park runners and marathon fundraisers to PB chasers, club competitors and elite performers.

 

Through personal training and soft tissue therapy my runners are able to receive a complete cycle of care, from the initial assessment of movement, pain or injury and any subsequent treatment, through to the design and delivery of a personalised training programme. My end to end service gives runners the strength, endurance and mental resilience they need to optimise their running performances.

Covering Ascot and the surrounding villages in Berkshire, Running Needs is a mobile service that brings the training or treatment session to you. 

ABOUT MATT

Since 2008 I've worked with a wide range of running clients, either as a Personal Trainer, Athletics Coach or Soft Tissue Therapist in large gyms, home studios and the great outdoors! 

Whether they be 'couch to 5k' novices or marathon 'good for age' competitors, I've always invested in the client with a personalised approach and  a goal focused programme. 

My passion is long distance running, and after completing 11 marathons and countless half marathons, I know what it takes physically and mentally to optimise a running performance.

MATT LAMBERT - PERSONAL TRAINER, ATHLETICS COACH & SOFT TISSUE THERAPIST

"Matt trained me for the London Marathon 2019. He created a training plan of endurance, hill, speed and core work, with plenty of nutritional advice and sports massages too. The result was a 20 minute PB. Thanks to Matt's post marathon sports massages I recovered quickly and now feel ready for my next challenge." Sam, London marathon runner.

SERVICES AVAILABLE

“Matt is a fantastic motivator whilst maintaining that all important support and encouragement. He has completely transformed my fitness levels, figure and nutrition in a process that has been enjoyable from start to finish. He keeps things fresh and challenging every week, always explains the purpose of what we are doing and looks at the whole fitness picture. I would recommend him wholeheartedly to anyone who wants to be in the best shape of their life.” Sarah - Singapore Marathon runner.

Every runner has different training and treatment needs, whether you are a new nervous runner or a more experienced athlete looking for marginal performance gains.

Through a programme of training and/or treatment, I can assess and treat imbalances and injuries, provide post event sports massages, work to prevent future injuries, improve running posture and technique, strengthen the muscular-skeletal system and improve cardiovascular performance.

 

If you live in Ascot, Berkshire or any of the surrounding villages, you can get in touch to discuss how I can help you. I look forward to hearing from you.

Testimonials

SUCCESS STORIES

"Matt has trained me over the years for the London marathon, Edinburgh marathon and lots of half marathons. He was as invested in my success as I was, building on my strengths as well as overcoming the challenges. Matt created an environment where I didn't feel self conscious, and was always motivated to train harder. Matt is a fantastic trainer, extremely qualified and knowledgeable. I couldn't recommend him more highly."

Shivonne
