The boys are back and we’ve got Hayden Wilde drama and T100 Spain to talk about off the top of the show. Lucy Charles Barclay is on the boys radar and then we dive into what actually happened between Olav Aleksander Bu and the Norwegians. Speaking of the Norwegians, we have some questions that need addressing about them including science in training and Kristian’s approach as head coach. Then the boys wrap up the show with some pledges for you all!

Following the Ironman World Champs podium clean sweep by The Norwegian’s (Casper Stornes, Gustav Iden & Kristian Blummenfelt) we talk to Arild Tveiten, the man who started it all, built it all and without whom non of it would have happened. However there have been several tough times in the process, including Kristian & Gustav choosing to leave Arild’s program, money getting in the way of what they’d built together, Olav Aleksander Bu’s role in the program, Casper and Kristian/Gustav not training together for a couple of years before ultimately coming back together in 2025 and the group once again finding their way to the top of the world. This podcast is the first in a long time that we’ve done which isn’t just an interview; rather, it tells a story. And that story is a long, interesting, successful and at times difficult one.

What a week it’s been. What a race the Ironman World Champs ended up being, surpassing all our wildest expectations for how crazy it would play out. The Norwegians dominated and we break that down as well as ALL the action, stories and talking points from the day. We try to bring you some laughs and strong opinions along the way as well. Again, a huge shout out to all of you for making this the best week in the podcast’s short history. We can’t express enough how grateful we are.
