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.

• Interview: Mal Norwood (rerelease 2019)

  Interview: Mal Norwood (rerelease 2019)  The Eva Air Sunshine Coast Marathon is back on Sunday, August 3rd with a brand-new single lap marathon, making for a faster and more scenic course. The full marathon is almost 80 per cent sold, so sign up today at sunshinecoastmarathon.com.au to secure your spot at the start line. Malcolm takes it back to the beginnings at schoolyard rivalries in Albury, starting at sprints and winning the 800m, and how his love of running helped channel his hyperactivity. The first half of this interview concludes with how he joined Nike in the early 80s through Raylene Boyle and heading to AIS under pressure, not knowing who Pat Clohessy was and setting the record for the longest suspension at the AIS. Brady’s chat with Malcolm Norwood resumes starting from his suspension from the AIS leading to a 3rd place in the State 10k and then taking a break from the sport, then coming back to racing in Europe under the mentorship of Ron Clarke and dealing with emotions. Mal then talks about coming home and running the 3-day Otway Classic, recounting the process for picking the team, employing tactics and strategy and duelling Sean Quilty. With his career transitioning from track to road, Mal talks about running the London Marathon to supplement his Twin Cities performance to qualify for the Barcelona Olympics and the complicated selection process involved as well as an incident that happened just before the London Marathon before going into the lasting impact of the injury through the Tokyo Marathon, World Championships in Germany to his final marathon at Gold Coast and how his retirement came about. Malcolm closes with his post-professional career, stepping out and in with the world of running sharing some philosophies on training, the state of running and anecdotes about drug testing.
