Description

Kristian Blummenfelt is an Olympic champion, sub-7-hour Ironman record holder, and master practitioner of the Norwegian Method—a revolutionary, science-driven approach to endurance training.


This conversation explores elite performance through a unique lens: an Olympic champion analyzing consecutive setbacks in Paris and Kona with methodical precision, while demonstrating extraordinary resilience by winning Frankfurt just weeks after Paris. He offers rare insight into the mind of an athlete constantly pushing the boundaries of human performance.


Along the way, he reveals why losing hurts more than winning feels good.


Kristian’s grace is inspiring; this conversation is a masterclass in championship character. Enjoy!
