Matt Hanson on Longevity, Run Speed, and Lasting in Pro Triathlon
<p>In this episode of The Giddy Up Edge, Michellie Jones sits down with pro triathlete <strong>Matt Hanson</strong> fresh off his podium finish at <strong>IRONMAN New Zealand</strong>, where he once again showed why he remains one of the most dangerous runners in long-course triathlon. The conversation goes far beyond race results, diving into what it really takes to stay competitive into your 40s, how Matt thinks about durability, consistency, self-coaching, recovery, and the mental side of sustaining a long career in the sport. Hanson is widely known for his elite run pedigree and deep experience in Ironman racing, and this episode explores both the highs and lows that shaped him along the way. </p><p>Matt also shares his thoughts on balancing family life with professional sport, what has changed as he’s gotten older, how the sport is evolving, and where age-group athletes can find real gains in training and race execution. From passion and identity to free speed and race-day mindset, this is a conversation about much more than performance alone. It’s about building an engine — and a career — that lasts.</p><p>You can find Matt on Instagram <a href="https://www.instagram.com/matthansontri/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">@matthansontri</a></p><p><br></p><p>If you want to reach out to Michellie Jones you can find her at <a href="https://giddyupmultisports.com/">https://giddyupmultisports.com/ </a>for coaching, camps, and tools.</p><p>Evan Gruda can be found on instagram <a href="https://www.instagram.com/grudagoesglobal/?hl=en">@GrudaGoesGlobal</a></p><p><br></p><p>Podcast theme music by <a href="https://transistor.fm/?via=music">Transistor.fm</a>.</p>
