Cassidy Walchak-Sloan (NCAA DII All American)

Coach Matt didn't just coach me to run - he really took the time to understand me as an individual athlete. Instead of following the typical path most college distance runners take, he tailored my training to fit what I needed. I've always struggled with high mileage and dealt with frequent injuries, but he never pushed me to do what wasn't right for my body. Instead, he helped me find success through a different approach, incorporating more cross-training and keeping my easy runs shorter. His support and flexibility made all the difference in my development as a runner. In high school, I never even broke 6 minutes in the mile, so the idea of running under 4:30 in the 1500m during college felt impossible to me. But Coach Matt didn't see it that way. He believed in me from the start. His steady encouragement and support helped me reach that goal and eventually become an All-American at the 2023 NCAA DII Cross Country Championships; I never imagined that could happen for me. Running is just as much mental as it is physical, and having a coach who understands that and knows how to tap into your potential can completely change your path. That's exactly what Coach Matt did for me.

Working with Coach Matt Lowe was truly a transformative experience for me as both a runner and a person. When I started under his guidance at Saint Martin's University, I was a high schooler running a 21:46 5k. With his training, mentorship, and constant encouragement, I dropped to a 19:23 5k and a 39:15 10k - progress I never imagined. Coach Lowe's approach goes far beyond workouts and race plans. He takes the time to understand his athletes on an individual level and balances high-level performance goals with genuine care for our mental and physical well-being. His passion for the sport is contagious, and his belief in his athletes is unwavering. He creates a training environment that's not only structured and intelligent but also supportive and motivating. I'm incredibly grateful for the role he played in my development, and I have no doubt the T3mpo Project will bring that same energy, insight, and excellence to so many others. If you're looking for a coach who brings the perfect blend of science, heart, and experience to the table - Matt is the one.

Working with Coach Lowe for the past couple years has been the reason I've been able to grow in the sport of running. As someone who had never stepped foot on the track, or really knew much about the running world, Coach Lowe has gotten me to a place I would've never thought possible when I started running. Through personalized training, effective communication, and the willingness to put the athlete first, Coach Lowe has taken my running into a new realm, including helping me qualify for the Boston Marathon on my first attempt, and then go on to run a PR at Boston. If you're looking for a coach that truly takes an athlete-centric approach combine with using his expansive running expertise to prescribe what he thinks is best for that specific person, then look no further than Coach Lowe!

Pablo Sanz-Rillo (NAIA All-American)

I've been working with Coach Lowe for almost a year now, and I can honestly say I have improved a lot, not only physically but also mentally. What makes him different from other coaches? Coach Lowe really believed in my project and invested in me. He took the time to listen to me and then figured out the best way to plan the season. His coaching is honest and realistic. He plans the season smartly, so I hit my best form at the right times and also have breaks to recover. He has been really flexible, too. We are training for a half marathon, but along the way, I had to race some 3km and 5km events, so he helped me keep up my speed without losing focus on the main goal, the half marathon. What I like most is that Coach Lowe took the time to understand what I want and what I need, making the whole process feel personal and right for me.

Pablo Sanz-Rillo (NAIA All-American)

Awesome experience so far and the training program seems to be working! Five weeks away from the NYC Marathon and my far-reaching goal of breaking 3:30 is starting to look... doable on a good day, which is more than I could ask for. Thank you!

Irina Lucaciu (NYC Marathon Qualifier)

Coach Matt is great! He tailors each workout for my son based on the goals my son has set. He is enthusiastic and encouraging which has helped my son strive to meet his goals. My son has been training for a little over a month and he already sees improvement and has such an increased sense of optimism for the upcoming cross country season.

Jennifer Burea

Matt has been great. He responds to my messages in a timely manner and he makes sure he answers all my questions when we meet in person. I havent worked with him for long but so far I am already seeing improvements. Would recommend. Thanks Matt!

Blake Sumnner

I feel lucky to have found a coach like Matthew for my son. Matthew's workouts are very thorough. His experience and expertise, along with his patience, have help my son regain a positive attitude towards running and staying fit.

Jamie Mitchell

I've loved working with Coach Matthew so far! He's very responsive and willing to dive into the details to answer my questions. He's helped me to better understand different workouts and how to evaluate whether I'm pushing too hard during them. I'm also seeing definite improvements in my fitness based on my time trials.

I didn’t take it seriously until my senior season was canceled due to COVID — that pushed me to reach out to my college, and they let me walk onto the team. I’m most proud of my 6K at D2 XC Nationals, where I became All American running 20:34 breaking the school record. My hardest setbacks have definitely been injuries and taking weeks or even months off. But I bounce back by reminding myself I’m so much more than just a runner. I love the sport, but it’s only part of me — it’s my chance to show how hard I can work. I’m motivated because I want to keep testing my limits and see just how fast I can be. Favorite workout? Definitely 200s and 400s. Pre-race ritual? Taylor Swift’s Reputation album on repeat. Post-race treat? Matcha, all the way. Current shoes? Hokas, for sure! Outside of running, I still love playing soccer — sometimes I think it’s even more fun! I look up to Faith (Kipyegon). Her sub-4 attempt was so inspiring for female runners everywhere. The best advice I’ve gotten? From my dad: “You may not be the fastest, but you’ll always work the hardest.” My pre-race mantra? “I am the fastest b**** on this track.”* I stay focused by enjoying it all — the soreness, the fatigue — it’s all part of the journey. Right now, my biggest goal is to rest and recover. I’m loving this break from competition and soaking it all in. #FamousFriday #PPRCElite #AlwaysGrinding #WomenWhoRun #trackandfield #SwiftieRunner #HokaRunner🏅 Famous Friday: Kya Ramirez | PPRC Elite Before she was chasing down marathon goals, Kya was a level 10 gymnast with a quiet love for running. In 8th grade, she made the switch — and never looked back. “I knew I wanted to take running seriously after the Oregon State High Performance meet my freshman year. I ran in the 19s for the first time, and my coach’s face at the finish said it all. That moment lit a fire.” But her story isn’t just about PRs. It’s about heart. During her senior track season, Kya stepped away from racing to care for her mom, who battles a chronic illness. “She’s my world — no race matters more.” Kya is still her caregiver today, and she’s slowly returning to the sport she loves. Running has taught her discipline, resilience, and purpose. Now part of PPRC Elite, coached by her former college coach Matt Lowe, she’s training with intention and gratitude. “It feels good to be part of a team that believes in me.” She’s got her eye on the Boston Marathon — fueled by long runs, golf breaks, and pasta plates. Her favorite mantra? “You just have to be yourself and go full with confidence and be courageous.” — Gabby Douglas We see you, Kya! 💪💙 #FamousFriday #PPRCElite #MasterTheProcess #WomenWhoRun #RunningNurse #BostonBound #marathon📣 Episode 2 is LIVE: The Recruiting Game Has Changed Want to get recruited in 2025 and beyond?

Olympic rainforests. Cascade peaks. Hidden waterfalls. With the trails filling up this summer, so are search and rescue reports. 📍 June 8 – Olympic National Park An 18-year-old slipped above Sol Duc Falls and fell 50 feet into the gorge. Crews recovered his body the next day. 📍 June 14 – North Cascades A 25-year-old climber fell 80 feet and broke her leg. A satellite SOS and rescue helicopter saved her from hypothermia. 🚨 In Olympic NP, SAR missions have more than doubled. In the Cascades, alpine rescues are up 100% over the last decade. Before your next adventure—tell someone your plan, pack smart, and respect the terrain. Nature always wins. The goal is to make it home. 🧭 Save this post.

I watched her race and knew I had to get her number before she left the track. Luckily, I did. Since then, I’ve watched Sarah grow from a national champ to an incredible mom, teacher, and coach — and she’s never stopped showing up with heart. “I first started running after telling my dad I beat a bunch of boys in the PE mile — he told me to join the track team. I quit soccer junior year to run cross country and fell in love with seeing myself improve. I wasn’t always the most coordinated kid in PE, but running was where I fit in. Coming back after two kids has had its ups and downs, but I still feel like a runner — I’m consistent, and I don’t quit. My proudest moment was winning the 5K national title my senior year of college. But that same year, I faced my toughest setback — underperforming at cross country nationals. I was overwhelmed with pressure, doubting myself, and battling race anxiety. Through journaling, support from my coach, and leaning on friends, I found a way to reset. Saturday track workouts and post-run tacos were the best. And my favorite race? Getting 2nd in the 1500m as a freshman — from the slow heat. Running is still where I find clarity and strength. It’s taught me to bounce back, to keep going, and to lead with purpose — as a coach, teacher, and parent. I love seeing athletes’ hard work pay off, especially when I get to talk race strategy and they trust my advice. Coaching my brother was also a highlight. I still love running, and I still want to be fast. My advice: be patient, trust the process, and don’t overlook the little things — it all adds up. Current shoes: HOKA Cliftons. Mantra: Always keep racing. 🏁” #PPRCRunning #mastertheprocess #famousfridays #womenwhorun #naiatrack #XCStrong #trackandfield
