Cassidy Walchak-Sloan

From 25:19 to DII All-American

Before: Graduated high school with a 25:19 5k and had never broken 6 minutes in the mile.

After: Ran 16:40 (5k), 4:27 (1500m), became a Division II All-American, and won multiple GNAC titles on the track.

How: We rebuilt her from the ground up; strength, mobility, injury-preventative routines, smart mileage progression (20→40mpw), and long runs up to 11-12 miles.

Why it matters: Cassidy is proof that patience, belief, and individualized coaching can turn the most unlikely athlete into a national caliber.

Kya Ramirez

College Breakthrough + Future Marathoner

Before: Entered college with a 21:46 5k PR and low mileage background.

After: Ran 18:29 (5k), 37:42 (10k), and is now building toward a Boston Qualifier while working full-time as a nurse.

How: We built a training system around her demanding schedule, progressive 40-50 weekly mileage, 14-15 mile long runs, and an individualized workload she could sustain.

Why it matters: Kya represents what happens when structure meets consistency, resulting in real progress, even with a busy life.

Pablo Sanz-Rillo

International Racewalker + Olympic Trials Hopeful

Before: Stuck at 23:32 (5k RW) and 13:24 (3k RW), struggling with technique, inconsistent mileage, and fear of disqualificaiton.

After: Dropped to 21:40 (5k RW) and 12:22 (3k RW) in just 9 months, rebuilt confidence, and is preparing for the Olympic Trials and world level racing.

How: Dialed-in technique refinement, visualization training, sports psychology, consistent weekly mileage, long runs, and race-specific drills.

Why it matters: Pablo shows how elite athletes can unlock their next level when coaching respects both the physical and mental side of performance.

Cassidy Walchak-Sloan (PPRC Elite)

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.

Kya Ramirez (PPRC Elite)

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 18:29 5k and a 37:42 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 PPRC 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.

Esteban Quiyono (PPRC Elite)

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 (PPRC Elite)

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 (PPRC Elite)

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’m training in Texas right now, and let me tell you it’s hot! It’s almost peak summer season, and while the heat can build you up in getting pretty darn fit… it can also burn you out. In this reel, I’m breaking down the basics of heat acclimation training to help you prepare to run at your best this Fall: * Ease into running to safely acclimate * Hydrate smart with electrolytes * Cooling down core body temps * Train by effort, not pace I’ve coached high school state champs, national qualifiers, All-Americans, and military candidates preparing for elite-level fitness tests. No matter your level — heat training is a game-changer when done right. Watch the reel. Save it. Send it to a teammate. And if you want a custom training plan built for real-world conditions… 📩 DM the word ‘HEAT’ and let’s get to work. #HeatTraining #SummerMiles #TrainSmart #RunningCoach #XCTraining #MarathonPrep #EffortOverPace#HeartRateTraining #PPRC #TexasHeat #PerformanceCoaching🏅 Famous Friday: Esteban Quiyono | PPRC Elite I first heard about Esteban during my first year as Head Cross Country Coach at Saint Martin’s University. The team told me about this guy who ran 14 miles — on the indoor track — completely on his own. Assuming they were hinting he should join us, I got in touch. That’s when I found out he was running 100-mile weeks, by himself, without a coach. His raw endurance and self-motivation were incredible. When he joined the team, he immediately became one of the hardest workers, bringing energy and grit to the men’s team during the year he was with us before graduating. Esteban started running after soccer, just to stay active, but it quickly turned into a passion. Soccer’s competitive edge helped, but the mental toughness running demands was a whole new challenge. Running the Boston Marathon felt like proof of all his hard work paying off. The intensity and shared goals among runners and supporters stuck with him most. When he learned he needed hip surgery, it wasn’t a total surprise, but it was tough — especially after the first surgery didn’t work. He’s leaned on his support system and focused on staying positive. Through it all, he’s learned not to tie his identity too tightly to one sport. Now working as a medical assistant and planning to become a doctor, he’s focused on recovery and overall health first. After healing up, he’s most excited to get back to soccer. Running will always be part of him, but health comes first. His advice? Be patient and listen to your body. Health always comes first, and even the longest recoveries can lead to the strongest comebacks. #FamousFriday #PPRCElite #MasterTheProcess #BostonMarathon #MindOverMiles #HealthFirst #AthleteJourney
