EP105 James Hansen - Chasing Races and P.Bs in Europe, Preparing for National XC and Future Goals.

Chris gives us a recap of his pacing job at Ballarat as he ventured down for the first time, with a job of pacing elite marathoner, run2pb coach and regular BWR host, Sophie Fitt. They also finally meet for the first time in real life and get to share a race experience together. Zacca continues his rebuild and return to running.
James Hansen joins the boys for a catch up, last time they caught up was in April and James had his sights set on a few domestic road races, before heading to Europe, we get an insight into his life on the road in Europe  as an athlete trying to run fast times and the challenges of getting into races. 
James now back in Tasmania is preparing for a tilt at making the Australian Team for the World Cross Country Championships next year being held in Bathurst, and this weekend he lines up at the National Championships in Adelaide, representing Tasmania, we hear about his hopes for the race and then future race and training plans as he turns his attention to chasing down that Aus Singlet.
James answers a few listener questions his favourite training partners and mindset.
The boys highlight run2pb power couple. Rhys and Stacey as Run2Pb heroes of the week,  off the the back of their amazing adelaide marathon adventure. https://www.instagram.com/p/Chnwn7Ov8Zd/?hl=en
