Jan Frodeno On Ironman: "My Run Has Taken A Big Step Forward"

Jan Frodeno says that the marathon is the area where his confidence has grown the most over the full 140.6 distance.

The 2016 Challenge Roth had representation from 72 countries including 3,300 individual athletes and 650 relay teams, as well as both returning 2015 race Champions, but beginning to end, the focus was on Jan Frodeno and his World Record attempt Andreas Reeler's 2011 time of 7:41:33. Jan's relaxed nature showed how well he had prepared. From gun, Jan took control of the race, never looking back and leaving the others to race for a podium position.
