A podcast to help you Train Smarter and Race Faster. Hosted by expert Triathlon coach, Australian Ironman Champion and 15 x Aus Age group Champion Gerard Donnelly, and his son, multiple Triathlon + Cycling Aus Age Group Champion Jordy Donnelly.

 

In today’s episode we absolutely geeked out because we got to speak to arguably the number 1 triathlon coach in the world right now, Arild Tveiten.

Arild is the head coach and sports director of the Norwegian Triathlon Federation. 

At the Olympics in Tokyo 2021, Kristian Blummenfelt, who has been coached by Arild for 11 years, took the gold medal in the men's individual event, and fellow Norwegian athletes Gustav Iden, Casper Stornes, and Lotte Miller finished 8th, 11th and 24th, respectively. (Gustav also just won the 70.3 World Championships for the 2nd time.

Arild didn’t have to give us all his best secrets into how he coaches the best athletes in the world… but he did! And we were like kids in a candy shop

Enjoy the episode.

Here are the highlights:
● How to build trust between the coach and athlete
● How the coach/athlete relationship improves over time
● What coaching principles have change over the last decade
● What is their actual training philosophy?
● How these pros train super specifically to lactate
● Why some of their sessions aren’t as hard as you think
● Breaking down the specific sessions these triathletes do
● How they planned their race intensity period leading into Tokyo
● How to know what you’re capable of as an athlete
● Breaking down the race performances as Tokyo
● How the taper period differs for every athlete
● We get to ask Arild why Kristen Blummenfelt was drinking so much water in the race!! (Of course we shouldn’t have doubted them)
● How flexible are you in changing sessions based on feeling or fatigue?
