Welcome to The Department of Running and Social Development
We show up. No Excuses.
OUR STORY
ritual. was built on one simple belief: progress doesn’t come from big moments, it comes from showing up again even when things get tough.
Our training plans have been developed by Matt Dove, a coach who’s spent years in the real world of running, experiencing the highs and lows of ultra running and keeps going back for more... Matt is passionate about coaching, racing, testing and refining his training programs all while having fun. These plans aren’t theory-heavy or trend-led. They’re proven, practical, and shaped by experience on the road, not just on paper.
Run the ritual.
Return tomorrow.
