The Story of Solo Running Perimeter Of Britain | Kyle Matthews aka The Milky Runner
Running thousands of miles sounds extreme, and it is, but for Kyle it was necessary and fuelled by nothing other than a delusional level of self belief.​
​
​In this conversation, I speak with why The Milky Runner, just a normal guy working as a chef came to take on, and complete, such an impressive feat.
Kyle talks honestly about what it took to keep going when the novelty wears off, injuries hit and motivation was low.
Being homeless for a period of time, Kyle has faced his fair share of battles in life and took on this challenge on a personal mission but also in support of Family Action who help parents, children and families of all types.
Mr Matthews speaks with great humility and assurance of what he has achieved, but also with confidence and optimism of what is now to come.

One word description: Reflective.
​
What happens when you achieve something huge…and it doesn’t feel how you expected?
In this episode, Rose Landreth reflects on completing her first Ironman and why crossing the finish line didn’t bring the emotional high so many athletes talk about.
Beyond this we discuss the reality of endurance sport, diving into the the mental discipline required, the sacrifice to work and relationships, the cost of commitment, and how identity can become so closely tied to training.
S2 Ep6 - Kyle Matthews
One word description: Unstoppable.
​
Kyle talks honestly about what it took to keep going when the novelty wears off, injuries hit and motivation was low. Being homeless for a period of time, Kyle has faced his fair share of battles in life and took on this challenge on a personal mission but also in support of Family Action who help parents, children and families of all types.
Mr Matthews speaks with great humility and assurance of what he has achieved, but also with confidence and optimism of what is now to come.
Something tells me this is just the beginning for him. So whilst this may sound like a 'nutty' challenge, I assure you there is plenty to Kyle's story that many of us can relate; specifically the times he has dedicated to meal deal choices.
