The Rambling Runner Podcast

In this conversation, Matt Hohnholt shares his inspiring journey from a non-runner to the Masters Marathon World Championships.

Matt discusses his early experiences in sports, the challenges he faced, and how he discovered a passion for running later in life. He reflects on his training, the importance of consistency, and the mental aspects of racing, including the joy of running versus the pressure of performance. He also shares insights from his experiences at major marathons, including the Age Group World Championships in Sydney, and emphasizes the value of community and personal growth in the running journey.

Finally, Matt reflects on his experience setting a PR of 2:46 and the impact of the pandemic on his Boston aspirations, and his long-term goals in the sport.
