This is unlike any sports science book you've ever read, because it's much more than a sports science book. I hope you have fun reading about the culture and humans behind the Norwegian method, and learn a bit of sports science along the way.

Triathlon is hilarious because pros were dealing with ridiculous stuff like being led off course by race organizers, so they formed a union, called it PTO, and it became a race organizer that's now leading them off course at major races. Embarrasment at @t100triathlon Dubai today

Couple take aways from the @IRONMANtri - The depth and speed up front even when you account for the tech advances is still mind blowing. Let's say the bike and shoe tech from 15 years ago is making athletes 5% faster. That's still 8h20 ish.. which use to be winning times on

18 years ago, a schoolmaster in Bergen called a triathlon coach in Oslo because a 13-year old kid named Kristian had won a local race. A year later, Norway had a triathlon federation. Today, they swept the podium at the biggest race in the sport.
