In this episode of the IRONMAN Insider Podcast presented by Maurten, host Matt Lieto sits down with Jonas Schomburg, one of the most aggressive and exciting athletes in long-course triathlon right now. Fresh off a strong performance at the Athletic Brewing IRONMAN 70.3 Oceanside, Jonas shares how he’s quickly established himself as a force in the IRONMAN and IRONMAN 70.3 distances.
Jonas dives into his transition from over a decade of short-course racing, including two Olympic appearances, into the world of IRONMAN. He explains how his background has shaped his racing style, why he thrives on putting pressure on the field early, and how he’s continuing to refine his pacing as he builds into his second full season of long-course racing.
The conversation also breaks down his Oceanside race in detail, from riding off the front to working with Sam Long on the run. Looking ahead, Jonas shares his mindset heading into Memorial Hermann IRONMAN Texas, where one of the deepest fields ever assembled will test his bold, front-foot racing strategy. Driven, tactical, and reflective, Jonas is an athlete who isn’t just racing the sport—he’s actively reshaping it.
