Top Episode ReplayFrom a technology nerd, sailor and entrepreneur, to coaching the world's fastest triathletes and chasing sub 7 hours for the Ironman distance - that's just the start of our next guest's bio!In this episode, we hear from leading Norwegian coach, Olav Aleksander Bu. Olav goes into great detail into his unique personal upbringing and background in technology, farming, sport and entrepreneurship and how he combined this experience alongside the development of a TEAM culture that has put the Norwegian program at the forefront of triathlon. There is so much to absorb in this EXTRA LONG 2 hour episode, especially after coming off Kristian Blummenfelt's recent win at the St. George Ironman World Championships. The conversation includes detailed insight into different types of training for the Norwegian triple powerhouse that is dominating triathlon currently. In the 21st episode of The Training Science Podcast, Paul and Olav have an in-depth conversation into how an athletes' profile can be very different from one athlete to the next, and therefore requires a highly individualized approach (that changes over time!). They also go into the evolution of high-end exercise science methods for chasing long-term improvements, as well as the relentless application of “the right” technology for the athletes.Fancy TRIATHLON and would like to implement sophisticated HIIT like Olav and his team? ➡️➡️ https://hiit-science.thinkific.com/bundles/science-application-of-hiit-triathlon ⬅️⬅️➡️➡️ https://athletica.ai/ ⬅️⬅️_____________________ Today's speakers:Prof. Paul Laursen https://www.paullaursen.com/ Olav Alexander Bu https://www.linkedin.com/in/olav-bu/ _____________________

ECCENTRIC training is SO MUCH MORE than just lifting heavy weights!Marcin Lipski wants you to understand ECCENTRIC muscle actions are VERY different from their concentric counterparts. Plus, there are HEAPS of decelerations in practice. Yet, we have not approached it in a UNIQUE and ECCENTRIC-ONLY way in training. Try it!In the 147th episode of The Training Science Podcast, Paul & Marcin discuss:
Just be BIG, heavy
WHAT is the problem you are dealing with? Like, EXACTLY
You need to be PRACTICALLY
Rowing is FAST
