I'd been using the Electrolyte Capsules for years, but started using the PF&H gels in 2025 and put together some of the strongest runs of my career. By the end of the season, I was using PF&H for all of my fueling needs.
Matt Hanson
3x IRONMAN® Texas Champion
Matt focuses on racing IRONMAN 70.3® and full distance triathlons. He has won 4 IRONMAN® North American Championships, as well as numerous other full and middle-distance races.
Matt discovered Precision Fuel & Hydration through his old training partner, Brad Williams, and he officially joined the PF&H Team for 2026. In 2016, Matt suffered heat stroke which significantly altered his sweat rate and sodium loss, so finds huge value in being able to work directly with the PF&H Sports Science team to continually fine tune his fuel and hydration strategy.
Before Matt began his triathlon career, he was a professor of exercise science. He continues to put that education to work through his coaching business, as well as writing for many of his team partners.
