Jono is an official Ultratrail legend having finished every 100km race since it's inception and storming home in 9:42 in 2019 to take 2nd place and top ranked Aussie. In Ep 62, Haddy chats with Jono about striking a balance between corporate world (Jono runs a corporate legal practice) and elite competition.
They discuss the challenges of training in the CBD and taking down the titans of industry during the lunch time run. Jono gives some great practical advice on training loads and structuring his year to remain at his peak. They also delve into the progress of trail running as a sport and the changes in gear and nutrition strategies along the way.
Thankfully Jono's post-race hydration strategy remains constant and aligns nicely with the hosts at Running Matters Podcast!
Wolf also chats to Sweat Expert Abby Coleman from Precision Hydration.

This week Haddy spends some time on the couch at the Carrington Hotel with Clinical Psychologist Nadine Davies. Nadine shares a rare insight into the psyche of the elite runner and also the practicalities of being married to one (previous guest: Brendan Davies). We get down to the nitty gritty of elite home life, travelling the ultra world and being a podium standard support crew.
She tells us all how best to cope with the disappointment of all those recent race cancellations and some great strategies to deal with the little voice on your shoulder (or the extra one in your head).
We try to untangle the web of Wolfman's personalities with mixed results and we also uncover how crazy you really need to get to become an ultramarathon runner!

Matt is joined by Haddy to interview Jeff Hunt. Jeff burst on to the marathon scene in 2010 when he ran the fastest debut marathon by an Australian, finishing third in Japan in 2:11.00.
He represented Australia at the Commonwealth Games in Delhi 2010 placing 13th and at the 2011 World Championships in Daegu where he was forced to withdraw after 30km.
At the age of 30, he made his Olympic debut in London where he finished 63rd in a time of 2:22.59.
Jeff talks about his transition from steeplechase and cross country to marathon distance. He explains why he never ran faster than his debut marathon. He speaks candidly about not having any hamstrings, overtraining, injuries, diet, not giving up drinking and much more.
He chats about being a member of the Cartel Racing Cycling Club, where runners’ dreams go to die! There’s a lot of ‘back in the day’ chat, trying to justify that he now wears lycra daily!
Plenty of laughs along the way, this week’s episode is brought to you by Sydney Brewery.
