    Marius Bakken: The Norwegian Method Is Built Around Your Muscles, Not Your Heart
    Oct 15 2026
    Marius Bakken is a physician, a former professional runner and two-time Olympian with a 13:06 personal best for 5000 m, and the person who developed the training approach that later became known as the Norwegian method, since used by Jakob Ingebrigtsen, Andreas Almgren and many others. We cover why he sees the muscles rather than the heart and lungs as the real limiter, how double threshold works, how to find and control your threshold with or without a lactate meter, and how much of it carries over to triathlon.HIGHLIGHTS AND KEY TOPICS:What muscle tone actually is, why it rather than the heart and lungs sits at the centre of how the method builds a training week, and how to palpate your own quads or use a simple morning stair test to track it.The weekly template behind the method, why double threshold is treated as one long session with a break in the middle, and why the sequencing of short and long reps matters.Finding your threshold with a lactate step test and a follow-up field test, or with no lactate meter at all, and how far below it the training should actually sit.Controlling intensity within a 6 x 6 minute session with and without lactate, the RPE that matches the zone, how you should feel when you finish, and the most common way people get it wrong.Why total running volume matters for muscle tone as well as running economy, when to split easy runs into doubles, and where strides do and do not earn a place.The Saturday X-session, what an Olympic champion hurdler's threshold sessions suggest about triggering the anaerobic system too early, and how a marathon block changes the week.How much of this carries over to cycling and triathlon, how the Norwegian triathletes organise their hard days, and what Jakob Ingebrigtsen and Andreas Almgren have added to the method, building upon Marius's work.Flat periodisation, fitting the method into a spring marathon build, the final four days before a championship race, and adjustments for beginners, older and female athletes.SHOWNOTES, LINKS, RESOURCES AND RELATED EPISODES:Follow Marius Bakken on his website.Marius's book, The Norwegian Method Applied.The shownotes for today's episode can be found here.The full podcast episode archives (including category filters) can be found here.Related episodes:How Norway became a triathlon powerhouse with head coach Arild Tveiten | EP#154Arild Tveiten – coach of Kristian Blummenfelt, Gustav Iden and Casper Stornes on triathlon training the Norwegian way | EP#223Olympic gold medal training and preparation with Arild Tveiten | EP#304Applied triathlon science with Olav Aleksander Bu (Norwegian Triathlon Olympic team) | EP#264Olav Aleksander Bu | EP#369Ironman World Champion Solveig Løvseth on her race day strategy in Kona, her training block at altitude, heat training and more!Solveig Løvseth – Olympian and the fastest Ironman debut in history | EP#466Training talk with Eirik Myhr Nossum, national team coach of Norway’s cross-country skiing team | EP#245Vasco Vilaça | EP#401Strength and Speed Training Methods of Norwegian Endurance Coaches | Research RoundupResources and tools mentioned:VDOT calculator SPONSORS: Precision Fuel & Hydration produce our favourite gels, sports drinks, and electrolyte and carbohydrate products here at That Triathlon Show and Scientific Triathlon.

  • Kona Science Special: Humidity, Heat Training and Race-Day Cooling | Research Roundup

    Kona Science Special: Humidity, Heat Training and Race-Day Cooling | Research Roundup
    Oct 8 2026
    With the Ironman World Championship in Kona this Saturday, this Research Roundup is a heat and humidity special for triathletes and other endurance athletes, built around four big topics instead of four single studies. How much heat and humidity each slow you down when you separate the two, what the largest reviews say about heat acclimation and whether sauna and hot baths work as well as active methods, how fast heat adaptations arrive and how fast they fade, and which in-race cooling strategies work, while also being practically feasible.HIGHLIGHTS AND KEY TOPICS:Separating heat from humidity: a study that held the vapour pressure of the air constant from 18°C to 27°C and 36°C, then doubled it at 36°C, and why dew point is the number you want to check before a hot race.A meta-analysis of 135 studies and 1,531 participants: how short, medium and long heat acclimation protocols compare, and which of four approaches (constant work, isothermal, self-regulated and passive) comes out ahead.Sauna and hot baths after training: what a stricter meta-analysis of 10 controlled studies found, why the control groups matter so much, and the case for active heat training when time is short.How many heat sessions, how long and how hot: a review of 211 papers, the free online predictor that comes with it, and whether the sessions need to be on consecutive days.Five weeks of home-trainer heat sessions in 20 elite cyclists: when haemoglobin mass starts to move, how quickly the gains decay, and how to plan around these dynamics before racing.Four days of 90-minute heat sessions: what changed after such a short protocol, why time-to-exhaustion results look so much bigger than time trials, and whether feeling adapted without being adapted could backfire in an all-day race like an Ironman.Ice caps, a cooling neck collar, the Omius headband and water dousing in running studies: which ones improved performance, what they did to core temperature, and why Mikael ends up defending a gadget.SHOWNOTES, LINKS, RESOURCES AND RELATED EPISODES:Follow Daniel Rowland on his website, Substack and InstagramThe shownotes for today's episode can be found here.The full podcast episode archives (including category filters) can be found here.Related episodes:How to Race the IRONMAN World Championship in Kona: A Complete Guide | Tomasz KowalskiHeat adaptation and triathlon performance with Stephen Cheung | EP#138Bent Rønnestad, PhD | EP#386Alistair Brownlee, Two-Time Olympic Champion | Everyone Was Surprised by How Slow I TrainedSwimskins, Power Duration Curves and Best Bike Sessions for Runner Turned Cyclist | Q&AThe “Best Practices” We Stand By That the Research Does Not Support10 Triathlon Race Day Tips That Actually Make a DifferenceStrength and Speed Training Methods of Norwegian Endurance Coaches | Research RoundupThe 10% Rule Applies to Your Long Run, Not Your Week | Research RoundupNew Research on Torque Training, Ketones, Carb Loading and Pacing | Daniel RowlandStudies discussed:Delineating the impacts of air temperature and humidity for endurance exercise - Jenkins et al. 2023Effects of Heat Adaptation on Physiology, Perception, and Exercise Performance in the Heat: An Updated Meta-Analysis - Tyler et al. 2024 (ResearchGate link here)The effect of post-exercise heat exposure (passive heat acclimation) on endurance exercise performance: a systematic review and meta-analysis - Solomon and Laye 2025Influence of Exercise Heat Acclimation Protocol Characteristics on Adaptation Kinetics: A Quantitative Review With Bayesian Meta-Regressions - McDonald et al. 2025Time-course for onset and decay of physiological adaptations in endurance trained athletes undertaking prolonged heat acclimation training - Cubel et al. 2024Heat Training Efficiently Increases and Maintains Hemoglobin Mass and Temperate Endurance Performance in Elite Cyclists - Rønnestad et al. 2022Effectiveness of short-term isothermic-heat acclimation (4 days) on physical performance in moderately trained males - Shaw et al. 2022Effects of a Head-Cooling Cap on 5-Km Running Performance in the Heat - Spannagl et al. 2023Cooling the Neck Region During Exercise in the Heat - Tyler and Sunderland 2011Assessment of the Omius™ cooling headband effectiveness during a 70-min submaximal running effort followed by a 5-km time-trial in hot/humid conditions - Desroches et al. 2024The Effect of Water Dousing on Heat Strain and Performance During Endurance Running in the Heat - Anderson et al. 2024Tools mentioned:Exercise heat acclimation predictor (University of Canberra) SPONSORS: Precision Fuel & Hydration produce our favourite gels, sports drinks, and electrolyte and carbohydrate products here at That Triathlon Show and Scientific Triathlon.

    How to Race the IRONMAN World Championship in Kona: A Complete Guide | Tomasz Kowalski
    Oct 1 2026
    Tomasz (Tomek) Kowalski is a triathlon coach with a great track record of athletes racing Kona, among them age-group world champions and podium finishers. With the IRONMAN World Championship coming up again in Kona we cover everything age-group triathletes need to know to have a successful race there, including when to fly out, training and tapering on the island, heat preparation at home, equipment choices, and pacing, fuelling and hydration on race day.HIGHLIGHTS AND KEY TOPICS:The single most common reason a Kona race goes wrong for age-groupers, and roughly how much of the damage it accounts for.When to fly out: the time-zone rule of thumb, the trade-off between arriving early and arriving fresh, and whether you need to fully adapt to Hawaiian time at all.Training on the island: how much lower your watts and paces can be at the same RPE, how long the last long ride and run should be, and whether to keep touching threshold in the final three weeks.Swimming in the last ten days: open water or pool, how to structure an open water session with no buoys to swim between, and how to use the Hoʻala training swim.Heat preparation before you travel: a hot water immersion protocol with durations and water temperature, and why using a CORE temperature sensor or sweat testing gets less weight than you might expect.Kit for the heat: aero or road helmet, visor or no visor, three headwear options for the run, and whether to change from trisuit to running kit in T2.Pacing the swim, bike and run: how many watts to expect to give up compared with a cooler Ironman, and how the impact of the rollers changes depending on how strong a cyclist you are.Fuelling and hydration in the heat: the body mass loss on the bike that puts your run at risk, and how easily caffeine intake creeps too high.SHOWNOTES, LINKS, RESOURCES AND RELATED EPISODES:That Triathlon Show Community on ROUVYThat Triatlon Show Group Ride on ROUVY - 5 October, 18:00 CET (12pm ET, 9am PT), 25 km / 15.5 miles on the Kona bike course.
