Brady introduces James Hansen, a versatile Australian distance runner who recently placed fifth in both the 1500m and 5000m at the national championships. Hansen also won the 5000m at the Adelaide Invitational and the Hong Kong Diamond Mile in 2017.
He discusses his current training in Launceston, Tasmania, which involves lightening his load for an upcoming race. He explains his decision to focus on domestic races this season due to his partner expecting a baby in July.
The conversation then delves into Hansen's personal bests, including 1:49.7 for 800m, 3:36.8 for 1500m (a recent achievement he's particularly proud of), 3:57.2 for the mile, 7:49 for 3000m, 13:31 (track) and 13:34 (road) for 5000m, and a significantly faster 28:20 for 10km on the road compared to his 29:02 track PB, which he attributes partly to super shoes. He also touches on his wins at the Point to Pinnacle half marathon, a challenging uphill race he uses for hill training.
Hansen discusses managing pre-race nerves, especially for big races like Nationals, and his self-coaching philosophy, which has been influenced by various coaches over the years. He describes his current training week.
He acknowledges his naturally muscular build, which sets him apart from typical distance runners, stemming from a dedicated gym routine in his younger years.
