  • I Tore My Calf at Melbourne Marathon in the Puma Fast-R 3 - Is Valencia Over?

    I Tore My Calf at Melbourne Marathon in the Puma Fast-R 3 - Is Valencia Over?
    2026/10/13

    Matt reflects on a disappointing Melbourne Marathon after calf pain at 12K developed into a race-ending injury at 20K. An MRI revealed a 15cm grade 3B soleus tear, with evidence of an older injury in the same area—putting his Valencia Marathon plans in doubt.

    After a buildup targeting 2:15, Matt explains how the race unfolded: settling into a pack running around 2:16 pace, managing the initial calf pain, and eventually stopping when it became too severe to continue. He shares why he has no regrets about the DNF—and why he wishes he had pulled out earlier.

    He revisits a calf twinge while testing shoes in May and considers possible contributors to the injury, including training load, trail running, tapering, weight loss and racing in the Puma Fast-R 3. The cause remains uncertain, and his recovery plan is still being worked out with his coach and physiotherapist, Kyle.

    The listener Q&A covers coping with repeated injury setbacks, keeping base training simple, adjusting training effort in heat and humidity, and finding value in Chinese super shoes. Matt also discusses possible recovery options, including PRP, and shares his views on peptides and anti-doping ethics.

    There are reflections on Melbourne's elite drink-station setup, Truett Hanes' marathon progress, and Jimmy Wheela's experience racing against Kipchoge. Matt also shares updates on Globe Runners training trips in Monte Gordo and Lisbon, his running shoe distribution business, nutrition coaching, and an upcoming six-month move to Portugal.

  • What Happened to My Body After Losing 16kg + Melbourne Marathon Week + Portugal Running Experience

    What Happened to My Body After Losing 16kg + Melbourne Marathon Week + Portugal Running Experience
    2026/10/05
    In this episode, I announce the next Globe Runners Portugal Running Experience in Monte Gordo, share the results of my latest DEXA scan after dropping from 86kg to around 70kg, and discuss what I learned about weight loss, bone health and nutrition along the way. I also share a remarkable 2:07 marathon performance off less than 100km per week and give my final update before racing the Melbourne Marathon this Sunday. LINKS Portugal Running Experience - January 9-17, 2027: https://www.thegloberunners.com/monte-gordo-running-experience-2027/ 1:1 Running Coaching: https://sweatelite.co/coaching/personalized-1-1/ Running + Nutrition Coaching: https://sweatelite.co/coaching/run-nutrition/ Nutrition Coaching: https://sweatelite.co/coaching/nutrition/ Personalised Nutrition Meal Plan: https://sweatelite.co/nutrition-meal-plans/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mattinglisfox/ Strava: https://www.strava.com/athletes/6248359 Eastbound Running (Dynafish): https://www.eastboundrunning.com/ ABOUT THIS EPISODE I start this episode with something I'm really excited about - the next Globe Runners Portugal Running Experience, taking place in Monte Gordo from January 9-17, 2027. I explain why I've become increasingly interested in putting my energy into coaching, nutrition and creating running experiences rather than promoting products. A lot of that thinking developed during the months I spent detained in Japan, where I had a huge amount of time to read, write and think about what I actually wanted to work on. The Portugal experience will bring a small group of runners together for eight nights in Monte Gordo in the Algarve. We'll train together, eat together and explore southern Portugal, with optional day trips around the Algarve and to Seville in Spain. The €1,250 price includes four-star accommodation, three meals per day, airport transfers from Faro and transport for the organised excursions. There are only 16 places available. I then get into the results of my latest DEXA scan. In April I weighed 86kg at 22.5% body fat. Around five and a half months later, I'm approximately 70kg and my DEXA measured me at 8.5% body fat. One of the most interesting findings was my bone density. Despite losing roughly 16kg while returning to high-volume marathon training, my measured bone density improved between the two scans. I discuss the things I focused on throughout the process, including calcium-rich foods, vitamin K, vitamin D, sunlight exposure and consistent heavy strength training. I also talk more broadly about weight loss for runners, the genuine risks of low energy availability and RED-S, and why I think the conversation needs more nuance. Losing weight is not appropriate for every runner, but for athletes with excess body fat who want to reduce it, I believe it can be approached carefully while closely monitoring health, recovery and performance. I share an example from one of my nutrition athletes whose weight began dropping faster than planned. When his training performance started declining, we increased his energy intake and quickly got things moving in the right direction again. Then there's a shoutout to Adam Lipschitz, who just ran an incredible 2:07:20 marathon after averaging only around 96km per week over the previous 12 weeks. It's a fascinating example of just how individual marathon training can be and how more mileage isn't automatically better. Finally, it's Melbourne Marathon race week. I talk about where I think my fitness is compared with when I ran 2:18:41, the potential advantage I'm getting from the Puma Fast-R, the weather forecast, and why I believe a significant PB is possible if everything comes together. I also briefly discuss what comes next, including moving to Portugal, racing in Europe and potential starts at Alicante and Valencia later this year.

    ABOUT THIS EPISODE

    In this episode, Matt answers 15 questions submitted through YouTube about race weight, weight loss and running performance.

    Topics include losing weight while maintaining training quality, carbohydrate cycling, calorie deficits during a marathon taper, post-workout fueling, finding your ideal race weight, losing fat versus muscle, GLP-1 medications and heart rate, creatine and water weight, and whether the same weight-loss approach can work for shorter-distance runners and triathletes.

    Matt also shares his own experience dropping from around 86kg to 69kg, how body weight played a role in eventually breaking 2:20 for the marathon, and how he is approaching the final two weeks before the Melbourne Marathon.

    Later in the episode, Matt gives an update on his Melbourne Marathon goal, testing the Puma Fast-R 3, the upcoming Dynafish launch in Australia, New Zealand and the UK, and his move to Lisbon for six months.
