Matt Crehan returns to the show ahead of representing Team Australia at the 2025 World Mountain and Trail Running Championships, where he will also serve as team co-captain. In this conversation, Matt reflects on a fourth-place finish at UTA100, a rollercoaster race at Lavaredo marked by both joy and stomach issues, and how his mindset toward running has shifted from pure performance to rediscovering enjoyment.
We also dive into his training philosophy with coach Dave Byrne, balancing speed work with mountain preparation, and the challenges Australian athletes face on the global stage. Tune in to hear the full story.
