About Matt

My name is Matthew Fenech – I have over 20 years of elite accredited coaching and running experience in distances ranging from 800m on the track, to the marathon, to trail running ultras. If you are new to running or an experienced runner looking for that little bit extra - I am here to help. My experience is as diverse as coaching Australian representatives in trail running to World Championships and former couch surfers to their first marathon.

 

My Philosophy:

SunriseRun is a community running group dedicated to meeting individuals running goals within a welcoming and fun environment. Every runner that commits to running with SunriseRun should feel like they are a valued member of the team. Mutual support in competition and training is the foundation by which the team thrives.

​

Runners have the autonomy to manage their own running, and the confidence to seek advice from the coach to set their own goals and training. The coach is there to facilitate the goals, ambitions and dreams of the runner. In essence, the coach’s role as very simple – to ensure that the runner the best that he/she can for key races, while ensuring that the risk of injury is minimised.
