In dieser Folge der Ausdauerwelt Interviews spreche ich mit Triathlon-Coach Susa Buckenlei über das Erfolgsgeheimnis der Norweger auf der Langdistanz. Susa kennt Norwegen wie kaum jemand sonst: Sie hat dreimal hintereinander den Norseman Extrem Triathlon gewonnen, seit ihrer Kindheit viel Zeit im Norden verbracht und die Entwicklung des norwegischen Triathlons hautnah verfolgt. Wir reden über: was Norwegen für Susa persönlich so besonders macht, warum Kristian Blummenfelt, Gustav Iden und Casper Stornes die Weltspitze anführen, welche Rolle Kultur, Wissenschaft und die Bereitschaft zum Testen dabei spielen, warum die Norweger in Sachen Leistungsdiagnostik & Datenanalyse der Welt um 10 Jahre voraus sein könnten, und welche Bedeutung die extrem hohe Kohlenhydratzufuhr bei der Ironman-WM in Nizza hatte.

«EINE ABARTIGE LEISTUNG, UNVORSTELLBAR»Unfassbar, unglaublich – die Ironman WM in Nizza vom 14.9. 2025 hat uns von den Sitzen gerissen. Der komplette Erfolg des norwegischen Hypetrains mit dem Sieger Casper Stornes, dem Zweiten Gustav Iden und dem Dritten Kristian Blummenfelt hat uns aber zum Glück nicht sprachlos gemacht. «Eine abartige Leistung, das ist unvorstellbar», so das Fazit von Kurt Müller, dem Coach vor Ort auf der Promenade des Anglais in Nizza.  Kurt Müller berichtet von spannenden Details, zum Beispiel wie locker Blummenfelt sein Rad in die Wechselzone schiebt und wie die Norweger bei aller Freundschaft im Rennen zu gnadenlosen Konkurrenten mutieren.Es war eine WM mit tausend Geschichten, mit Neuentdeckungen, Materialschlachten und einer Standortbestimmung der Schweizer Langdistanzler. Der Schwimm-Rekord ging an Andrea Salvisberg und damit auf ein Schweizer Konto. Und der Manager des neuen Weltmeisters kommt mit Ronnie Schildknecht auch aus der Schweiz. …___________⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Mehr über Kurt Müller: https://www.kmsportcoaching.ch/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ___________⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TriStory⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠: ⁠https://tristory.news.blog/_________________TriStory ist auf ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠und ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠LinkedIn⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠_________________Kontakt⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠tristory@gmx.ch⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠_________________Die finanzielle Unterstützung von TriStory ist gerne möglich.

In this episode from race week in Nice, France, host Matt Lieto sits down with three of the biggest names in triathlon ahead of the IRONMAN World Championship: Daniel Bækkegård, Kristian Blummenfelt, and Gustav Iden.First, Daniel Bækkegård shares his journey through a challenging few years marked by injuries, including two torn discs in his back that led to inconsistent training. He discusses the positive impact of his new coach, Philip Seipp, and Seipp's holistic approach that focuses on the entire ecosystem of an athlete's life. Bækkegård also contrasts the high-pressure "spotlight" of Kona with the more relaxed, "laid back" atmosphere of Nice, where the city itself helps athletes stay more centered.Next, Kristian Blummenfelt details his meticulous preparation, having spent months training on the Nice course to familiarize himself with its unique demands5. He breaks down the bike course, describing it as having "a little bit of everything," from steep and long climbs to technical descents where comfort and nutrition are key. Blummenfelt analyzes the race dynamics, anticipating aggressive tactics from competitors like Sam Laidlow, but remains confident in his ability to stay collected, even after a poor swim, and leverage his run.Finally, Gustav Iden opens up about the significant shift in his career since his 2019 victory in Nice. He speaks candidly about the mental struggle of going from a multi-year winning streak to a period of disappointing results, which challenged his identity as a "winner". Now, with renewed confidence fueled by strong training sessions, Iden states he has a "great chance of winning this race" and believes a sub-2:30 marathon is possible on Sunday.

This week, we break down another packed weekend of racing across the triathlon world. We start with the T100 Vancouver wildcards, where an exciting list of short course athletes has been announced, led by Maya Kingma. The addition of these athletes brings fresh dynamics to the field. In Yokohama, the WTCS season continued with a thrilling men's race.

At Ironman Lanzarote, Lucy Charles-Barclay delivered a dominant performance, leading from start to finish and showcasing her prowess on one of the sport's most challenging courses. In Aix-en-Provence 70.3, the men's race featured an incredible showdown between Kristian Blummenfelt and Casper Stornes, with Blummenfelt taking the win.

In this episode of IRONMAN Insider presented by Maurten, host Matt Lieto sits down with Olympic gold medalist and IRONMAN World Champion Kristian Blummenfelt for a wide-ranging conversation fresh off his dominant win at Memorial Hermann IRONMAN Texas. Kristian reflects on a rocky start to the season, the strategy behind his standout run, and how he's dialing in both his training and nutrition to chase top points in the IRONMAN Pro Series. He explains why his fueling strategy, powered by Maurten, has become a key differentiator in his performance.We also catch up with Ben Vriends, Global Education Manager at Maurten, to dig into the science behind their hydrogel technology and how it's revolutionizing endurance fueling. From training the gut to pushing the limits of carb absorption, Ben shares how today's top athletes are redefining what's possible in long-course racing.Whether you're a fan of the sport or working to level up your own fueling game, this episode delivers high-level insights from both sides of the performance equation.

Que começo de ano vive Lionel Sanders: dos dois 70.3 que ele largou este ano, ele venceu e bateu nomes como Blummenfelt, Iden, Ditlev e Sam Long. Será que ele deveria focar nessa distância? Falamos também sobre os outros resultados da semana, sobre Vittoria Lopes e sobre a vinda de Daniela Ryf para o Ironman Brasil. Confira o episódio!

I denne podkastepisoden deler triatleten Kristian Blummenfelt åpent om livet som toppidrettsutøver, med fokus på kosthold, treningsrutiner, mentale utfordringer og reisen fra OL-gull til verdensmestertittel i Ironman. Han forteller hvordan han tilpasser matinntak etter treningsmengde, betydningen av varmetrening og høydeopphold, og hvordan han jobber med søvn og døgnrytme for å prestere best mulig i ulike tidssoner. Episoden gir også innsikt i hvordan han samarbeider med sponsorer, produserer innhold til sosiale medier og etter hvert tok mer eierskap til sin egen treningshverdag etter en skuffende sesong. Gjennom refleksjoner om både suksess og motgang viser han hvor mye arbeid og dedikasjon som kreves for å holde seg i verdenstoppen over tid. Hosted on Acast.

Kristian Blummenfelt, Alex Yee, Kat Matthews, Hayden Wilde: de grote namen deden dit weekend weer van zich spreken. We hebben het ook even over stayeren: worden penalty's niet veel te selectief uitgedeeld? En dan de vraag: is Taylor Knibb wel gebouwd voor de lange afstand of kan ze zich beter richten op de halve afstand?

Un programa tan especial como largo como merece la ocasión. Un fin de semana en el que Antonio Benito hizo mirar por el retrovisor a todo un campeón del mundo en Texas, Casillas debutó en IRONMAN 70.3 por la puerta grande y tuvimos a una española Maria Varo, en lo más alto del campeonato de Europa de Duatlón. Dale al Play, que arrancamos

One of the great sports science & triathlon coaching minds is back on The Triathlon Hour. We talk about a lot of training topics including intensity control and how crucial it is to being your best, how important is volume in training and can doing less with more intensity/recovery be better for your training or are you better off to focus on trying to do more, peak human performance, what is Zone 2 training and how do the Norwegian's use it in their training and then we hit some quick fire questions about long running/riding, should you use super shoes in your training and should VO2 max training be a part of everyone's programs.

What a race from Patrick Lange. Today, we look at how KONA unfolded and why, after all these years, it still comes down to the run . . . and maybe the swim? It's incredible to think that Lange may have strategically pulled back on the bike with a 4:06, but it definitely makes you want to look at the little things and how important they are in racing. Speed kills in shorter racing, but at the Ironman distance, mistakes can pile up. Making good decisions in your race (and training) often trumps technology, but it's all so tempting. Today, we get into many aspects of Ironman training and racing with a food for thought discussion.  Topics: Execution for the win The incredible Patrick Lange Ditlev's grit Blummenfelt's struggles The amazing Cam Wurf (and Matt Hanson) Rudy von Berg, Sam Laidlow The swim course record The most underrated triathlete All the new methods, but . . .  Mistakes take you out of the race Mental games Was a good chunk of the field over-raced? Pro triathlete's schedules  Do some of us do too much? The temptation of the tech short cut One hit wonders, golf clubs, the Boston Red Sox and more    Mike Tarrolly - mike@c26triathlon.com Robbie Bruce - robbie@c26triathlon.com

“In a world championship everyone is in their best shape, but they're also trying to maximise your weaknesses.” In June 2022 Norway's Kristian Blummenfelt crushed a full iron-distance triathlon in under seven hours. No one on the planet has ever completed the gruelling swim, bike and run event quicker. During his appearance on Mind Set Win we uncover how developing and maintaining an open mindset has helped the former Ironman world champion dominate his sport. In the episode hosted by Kate Courtney it's also revealed what we can all learn from Kristian's mental flexibility and how he's able to respond and adjust in the face of both success and failure. Kate offers an exercise based around setting flexible goals which allow for more than one outcome, and explains how it's a tool that can be applicable in all areas of our lives.For more, check out www.redbull.com/mindsetwinGet in touch with us @katecourtney & @kristianblu

Sam Laidlow lead for most of the race at his Kona debut, eventually finishing 2nd to Gustav Iden. He surprised many by obliterating the Kona bike course record and splitting the Norwegian favourites of Iden & Blummenfelt on the day. On his return to the Oxygenaddict Podcast, we talk about: How he burst onto the Iron-distance scene at Lakesman in 2019... What he learned from upsetting Sam Long at the Collins Cup... The race strategy & tactics at the front of the race in Kona... His power numbers during the bike leg and why he thought he'd gone too hard too soon... Why he plans to exit the water with a several minute lead at the next World Champs... The innovations and equipment decisions that helped him to his Kona result... The importance of building a personal brand as a professional athlete and why it's not all about race results... Why he'd prefer people to hate him than be indifferent about him... Smashing the Kona bike course record without a bike sponsor(!)... Whether he believes he can beat Gustav in future World Champs...SponsorsLike what you heard in this interview?

As a follow-up to our podcast on the evolution of the professional triathlon, this episode focuses on the tip of the performance spear with a spotlight on two athletes who have taken the sport to new heights. Gustav Iden and Kristian Blummenfelt, also known as The Norwegian Train. With stand-out Olympic and Ironman performances in recent years, the two athletes paved the way to a stellar showing at the 2022 Hawaii Ironman World Championships and a record-breaking win for Iden. The pair recently appeared on the Rich Roll podcast to shed light on their approach and offered a glimpse into their training method, which is well known for its grounding in science and technology, spearheaded by their coach, Olav Aleksander Bu. In this episode of the purple patch podcast, Ironman Master Coach, Matt Dixon takes the insights gleaned from the interview with Iden and Blummenfelt and examines what you can learn from the principles, approach, and success of the seemingly unstoppable Norwegian Train. Matt discusses: Context and Perspective: The differences between elite professionals and the time-starved amateur. (12:48) "It's sort of a monastic life...it's not the game that the vast majority of us are playing." (20:27) "While the pros have a very pure speed and performance challenge, us as amateurs face an optimization challenge in both training, planning, and where to apply focus so that we can ultimately move our performance needle." Traits and Approaches: Traits and principles that make up the training approach of elite professionals. (25:22) "When you listen to Kristian, and Gustav, what comes through for me is a series of traits and approaches, all wrapped up in the team setup that are very, very common across almost any high-performing team and individual. And this could be tailored and positioned to sports, to business, to broader life." Actionable Takeaways: Key lessons you can draw from the interview to apply to your training approach and performance journey. (40:48) "What should you apply right now, from all of these insights? You can't just change everything, but what are the components that you should do? Should you go and grab a lactate meter? Should you recruit your partner to help you with the application of the core temperature monitor? If you've listened to the episode and interview you'll understand what I mean by that. Should you hire a personal physiologist? Should you scrap the family holiday so that you can spend it all on data analytics? No, at least not before you do these things that I'm going to break through."

There are professionals. There are Olympians. But rare is the athlete who is so entirely and utterly devoted to sport in mind, body, and soul, that they exceed titles all together.Today I am lucky to host two of these extraordinary individuals: Norsemen Gustav Iden & Kristian Blummenfelt.In an unprecedented period of just 9 months, Kristian was crowned Olympic champion in Tokyo and bagged the fastest Ironman performance ever in his debut. After winning the 2021 70.3 World Champion title, this year Gustav had a spectacular 2022 debut victory at the Ironman World Championships in Kona—a race in which Kristian placed 3rd—emerging from Kristian's formidable shadow and smashing the overall Kona course record with a blistering 7:40:24. On top of that, he rewrote the marathon course record with a 2:36;15 26.2. Racing in tandem until the very end, Gustav and Kristian gave mindboggling, paradigm-crushing performances at the 2022 Ironman World Championship this year. It was an unforgettable barnburner of a race, and today we dive deep into the metrics and mechanics of that epic day.Watch: YouTube.Read: Show notes.Today's Sponsors:ROKA: roka.comUCAN: ucan.co/roll Navitas: navitasorganics.com/richrollWhoop: WHOOP.com Final Note: If you dig this conversation, look out for my upcoming podcast with their coach (and mad genius) Olav Aleksander Bu, which will be released in the not-so-distant future.The Norwegian Train is in the house.

Today we recap the Ironman World Championship and look at racing strategy, the coverage, and what lessons we can learn as age groupers from an unbelievable race. We look at Iden and Blummenfelt and what their real training secret likely is. We talk about the big swim pack, drafting on the bike, and what all that did to set up the run. We talk about the shift in qualification standards, the move to make things seem easier, and fast shoes. Our belief that “once you get too hot, it's over” played out again as did “you don't have to catch them, they'll come back to you.” Lots of interesting topics to go over from KONA, but we also bring it back to the amateur level and ask important questions about your dreams of getting faster, including, “Are your buddies slowing you down?”  Topics:  KONA is a special place, but should the race rotate locations? The 2 Day format . . . good or bad? Breaking down the broadcast  Advertising overload? The quest to make everything possible  A mother wins  Easier and easier to qualify - does it lose its luster? The big swim pack in the men's race  The bike and drafting  Shower, dry off, 5k  Penalties  The swim game has changed  Not as much separation  Iden and Blummenfelt worked together the whole race  Laidlow upset the apple cart  Iden's Hat Bike fits  Fast Hoes Once you get too hot, it's over Iden and Blummenfelt's REAL secret sauce  You don't have to catch them, they'll come back to you Are your buddies slowing you down?

The smart money is on Blummenfelt, Iden, and Ryf, but who do we think has a chance to knock them off? We give our predictions, plus get into Kona racing strategy, including why the swim is so important, how athletes position themselves on the bike, and why it really all boils down the the run. We talk about the legend of the Island, local perspective, and respect for the land, along with why experience is so important. Some athletes are always in the news, but it's the ones you don't really hear about much that understand what it takes to be a World Champion. Will that matter or will Blummenfelt and Iden run away with it? Will Ryf show her dominance from start to finish? Will Patrick Lange re-emerge? Is Lionel ready? While there are favorites, this is one of the more spread out fields in a while.  Topics: 2 Day Event - Is it sustainable? Local perspective on hosting World Championships Spirituality of the Island Kona is a Runner's Race  Drafting vs. Working with the group Why pros work so hard on this swim Women's Race Picks Men's Race Picks Favorites and Sleepers and why Below are some of the Pros we talk about.
