I perfectly got the TGV pun Kristian 👍 TGV is Train Grande Vitesse in French which is translated into High Speed Train. It’s the model of trains used to link big cities in France. Keep training guys, your are our European pride 👍
In the sport since 1985 at age 28 , now 65 these two young men inspire me , not to go faster , but to enjoy the journey even in remote tough conditions .
funniest closing statement! haha this Facility definately has a no frills/Rocky/dungeon/pain cave/East block training vibe to it. No color, no sun, no home cooked food, no home gym with airconditioning and flat screen, no smiling people in the neighbourhood recognising you and cheering you on your workout.....theres no way you are facing the 'why am I doing this?' question on race day, because you quickly find answers in a facility like this all day or you quit.
Love the “my favorite part of the day” comment 👉🏼 to the legendary 🎬 Day in the life with Frodeno “Everybody else is eating dinner, going to bed, maybe doing some stretching… and I am out here HAMMERING myself” 😃👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Joe skipper is not even in the same country code. Impossible to compare him to the Norwegians. It’s like bafanna bafanna beating Germany in the soccer World Cup. Ain’t happening bud.
Kristian giving Lionel som proper cred is nice to see. I can’t believe Lionel even finished the race without bottles, I don’t think he could have done that with his previous training regime
@@strahinjastojanovic260 He lost his energy bottle in the first 10km of the bike. It had his sugars (syrup) and salts in it. At the first aid station he found the Gatorade bottles didn’t fit in his holder and would fall out. He went the first 40km with no fluids or nutrition (which is obviously when you should be fueling heavy). So he wasn’t able to store fluids on his bike and could only take them at the bike aid station (which is what Kristian is referring to with his speeds down spiking at each aid station). He was also taking a couple the race gels at the aid station (Maurten) to survive but didn’t have his own nutrition and couldn’t follow his nutrition plan….so he laid off the bike to conserve energy and decided to give what he had on the run.
This is a big one to create more myth about this wonderful two Norwegians! Some humor and a strong package of willpower! All the best on the way to St. George! :-)
I don't know that it was ever needed but Joe Skipper definitely gave these 2 some additional motivation! St George is going fun! Had no idea about what happened to Lionel. His run performance washout of this world! Great champ!
The Norwegian train consists of a great group of athletes - what has impressed me about this squad is their down to earth approach; - happy to reply to questions with detailed answers since the day they came on social media. Even when they started winning big they carried on doing the same. Same for the coaches. The Norwegain squad; Joe Skipper and LS are box office stars for the PTO! They are transforming the sport - brilliant.
Great content guys and love the banter - Joe no doubt a good sport I am sure! Hoping you are wrong on my fellow brits, but looking forward to seeing you all fight it out on the course! Good luck in St G
These videos are awesome! Thank God we have gotten past the age of Pros guarding their trainings like the key to Fort Knox. Races are great but they are few and far between these videos can be posted every other day!!! Woo hoo ;)
Awesome content! Simple yet very effective. Proves you don’t need fancy drone shots every video. Even watched the ads a bit longer so that ad sense rolls in 😮💨
Great vid. U guys are animals. Best of luck for St.George. They are at altitude in the snow for the last couple of weeks. Don’t they need to acclimatise to the heat in May?
Ali had to slow at the end of the race in Oceanside when it counted.. I’m putting these two at the top for St. George 🎉 I’m sure all of that hard work will pay off 💯
Mikal, curious, do you guys pay attention to when you take the lactate samples after the set? Of course it depends on VLaMax etc but It clears fairly well if you are under “threshold” and can affect the result if taken 30-60 seconds after you get done. Great content guys.
Hello, norwegian do have the culture of taking lactate samples from back in the nineties. I think that for testing/controling at these intensities you do not have to be so precise (it's just a control, not a lab test to plot scientifically). Plus, it's the big picture, what does it change if you read 2.1 vs 2.2 ?
Amazing video!👍 Blu is on fire 🔥 for St George!💪👊 I haven't seen both in particular Kristian so emotional 😂 Really, really strong and on good way to World Champs! I can't wait for St George and Kona this year! Will be sn extraordinary Ironman Year!!!💪👊
Mikael, great video. How many miles or Kms per week so these guys run at easy pace?? As in conversational pace? I'm trying to realise the importance of easy running, as most of my runs are not in the right zone.
Instead of Ronnie Coleman screaming for hours, I listen to Kristian and Gustav running. No joke, I was drafting on my last race and all I could think of was Kristian saying " I'm on Gustav's feet" and it gave me power for the last sprint.
Gustav and Kristian are the real deal in the triathlon business. "We didn't believe quite the height some British people have in the race weekend, so we don't believe the British hype, you know" Gustav Iden.
Hello Mikal Iden, would you mind to explain the threshold lactate numbers? They're adapted to altitude so the numbers of lactate are low than sea level but does 2,2 mmol (from Kristian) and 1,4 mmol (from Gustav) are between their respective LT1 and LT2?
I am an expert in swimming, but age 56 I still love running kipchoge pace+ on short track - and those two inspires me to get out to run a couple of sets. Thanks guys. To run free and with full range of motion is a feeling like flying, still and even I am 56 next days. ;-) - by the way - similar to swim with VITS-Afterburner skills ;-) keep watchin you ... take care Peter
@@swimgood3873 also, but more that new working "inline" mechanism and effect from ball ballancing systems which we are pretty familiar with, additional the advantages of steady 1:1 visual analysis and 24/7 availability, comfortable, grabbable all the day, each day instantly - makes fun, quick strong effect - addictive. ;-) You can feel and handle a lot, not possible in the water. Even more to explain. A marcable discover at all in both, practice and even in sport sciences. Best Peter

Kristian giving Lionel som proper cred is nice to see. I can’t believe Lionel even finished the race without bottles, I don’t think he could have done that with his previous training regime
I only caught the run. Lionel lost his bottles on the bike or do you just mean the integrated hydration that isn't on the old rim brake speedmax?
@@thomasjmaclean isn't it the TT version rather than tri hence the Movistar colours ?
@@gourami7 I believe you are correct. I'm just curious if he dropped bottles by accident or just planned to ride without storage?
@@thomasjmaclean as far as I know, he lost the bottles and was riding the major part of the bike without nutrition/hydration

Gustav has such great run form
Two of the best triathletes around!
Thank you Mikal for the superb content, and brilliant work you're doing with the Norge and with Sanders, already paying dividends for the latter !
Thanks 🙏
Easy workout to me. I did this same workout before I went to bed last night. Show us something impressive.
But you did it in the meta verse 😂
I’ll film your run session in St. George so the world can see! 😍
Aweonao
i love seeing Blu's personality come out, he seems like an excited kid in this, usually he seems more reserved and quiet 😅 great video again
Blu is one funny guy when you get to know him! He shines the brightest with caffeine, his teammates and a camera
@@mikaliden9967 with caffine 🤣
Mikel, thank you for this vid. I love that you did this uncut, unscripted, raw, and hardcore. Keep up the great work. Bravo 👏
Thanks 🙏
Thanks for sharing this - fantastic training and great to see these guys pushing hard - amazing insight
Thank you Mikal! love to see top athletes trainning, what a privilege. keep the videos comming
Thank you, Mikal. This is great training motivation.
Love this attitude. Bravo.
Keep the video coming! This is great.
Thank you for the great content, unedited and honest. I look forward to each video and seeing their personalities and hard work.
Such energy! Love your content - an accessible way into the lives of superhumans :)
Yessss more of this content. Love it. These guys are both going to be tough to beat in St George.
Man I love watching these guys train.
I hope one day to be able to watch you here in Brazil, congratulations for the video it was incredible!
awaiting for a incredible 2022 - keep on training.
Looking class lads, you’ll have to give a choo choo as the Norwegian train passes the mockery boys.
Haha this is gold !! Love the Norwegian hype train !!
This is a big one to create more myth about this wonderful two Norwegians! Some humor and a strong package of willpower! All the best on the way to St. George! :-)
Thanks for sharing! Inspiring!
Thank you for posting this. I’m indoor on the trainer and my fingers are cold watching this.
Amazing endurance running in the cold wind at 2340M (7680') elevation at a wicked pace... Easy Peasy when you are the best!
What a dream it would be to train with Blu and Gustav and to be coached by Mikal. What a team!
If you can train to your max and stay focused and motivated in this depresing scenario you can definitely be world champion ; respect to you both
I don't know that it was ever needed but Joe Skipper definitely gave these 2 some additional motivation! St George is going fun! Had no idea about what happened to Lionel. His run performance washout of this world! Great champ!
this is simple amazing. I love you guys. Respect

Guy in the white with the dad bod actually looks pretty fast.
guy in the white is the reigning Olympic gold medalist. ;)
He is the triathlon Olympic gold medalist for a reason
Mikal, I realy like your Videos! Thank you! 🚄
Amazing place for some training, Good luck in St George.
Great work! ... now i have ... wait ... i must go running now ... !!! THX !!!
Great content guys and love the banter - Joe no doubt a good sport I am sure! Hoping you are wrong on my fellow brits, but looking forward to seeing you all fight it out on the course! Good luck in St G
This is the reality of living in the nordics, snow still in April. Make its even harder to go out and train when it’s grey and cold outside 🇫🇮🙌😎
That's 🇪🇸
Raw! love the nothing to hide attitude!!!!
And if you think Blu is suffering , you are wrong. That’s just the way he is smiling and enjoying life.
100%

Kristian is going to need to work on his junkyard dog bark hahaha, but glad to see he and Gustav are still having lots of fun with it
Hehe yes embarrassing 🙈 but on his defense he’s running 20km/h in altitude
@@mikaliden9967 won't be too much easier at StG on the bike/run if he's gotta bark joe down ;) (just playing)
Won’t need to bark joe down if he is miles ahead of him.
Major Tri shade and I like it. Can’t wait for St. George. It’s gonna be epic.
Machines. Thx Mikal.
Thank you for sharing, I'd forward to my triathlon teammates, and we are from Taiwan. 😁👍😘🧢🧢
Hail to the coach! Best of luck in St. George.
Liker disse! Veldig kjekt å følge ferden, fortsett med dette Mikal. Helt Mega :D
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 absolutely love this vid. the community needs way more trash talking. This is of course in good sport trash talk, love it!!!!
Thanks Mikel, great content keep em’ coming.. quick question how long will the lads train at altitude typicaly?
The Norwegian crazy guys! (I am really impressed)
crazy how Gustav takes the inside and K outside lane and K quite aways ahead, but like G says its about threshold and they're training not racing.
Thank you for taking us on the journey Mikal , awesome multitasking as always, exciting times coming up for #teammikal at the WC 🚀🚀🚀
fantastic running style from Iden. The white Kipchoge
Blu is fired up!!!! 🚀🚀🚀
Empiezo a creer que a esa altura de su rendimiento, sus diferencias son mas Psicologicas que fisicas. Dos maquinas, gracias por compartir
these guys are build differently!
Great video
Nothing builds character better than dull laps!!
What about treadmill? Haha
1.4!!!!! That guy is an animal. He stayed mainly aerobic with all that effort.
I hope you guys and Frodeno stay healthy. Will not be many years for you guys together.
Entertaining! Thank you all!
Shots Fired!!!!
Haha ayy boys, on it! Proper junyard dogs in there
Trying our best
Unreal!
Great vid. U guys are animals. Best of luck for St.George. They are at altitude in the snow for the last couple of weeks. Don’t they need to acclimatise to the heat in May?
I am so happy I share at least one thing with Kristian, the cough.
Me too. Got the exact same plastic bag 😂
Ali had to slow at the end of the race in Oceanside when it counted.. I’m putting these two at the top for St. George 🎉 I’m sure all of that hard work will pay off 💯
Mikal, what you think about shaving your total body, does it assist or hinder you. and if so when you recommend to shave before a race.
Despite the speed great recordings. With which camera do you film? :)
Blu - I think your best bet to win StG is to carry a spare bike on your back given your luck at 70.3 🤣 GG guys, great content.
*Coughs up a lung “No Limits!”. Hahahaha
The first 60min session is exactly how I imagine myself when running 4:50 pace :-D
Both using metaspeed sky... Are they more durable than the vaporflys? I'd like to see more trainings!
going to start shouting NO LIMITS before my 5min runs now, too. (i do 5 x 1min easy jog, recovering from Achilles tendon inflammation)
Exciting!
hope kristians lungs will recver in time for stg :D

I just spoke to Joe and he will be running "bark like a dog" sessions in the summer
amazing content, more content, and more consistency of uploads would be great.
Amazing video!👍
Blu is on fire 🔥 for St George!💪👊
I haven't seen both in particular Kristian so emotional 😂
Really, really strong and on good way to World Champs! I can't wait for St George and Kona this year! Will be sn extraordinary Ironman Year!!!💪👊
Kristan can indeed put up a good show for the camera 😂
Goodluck to u both 2morro!!!
am i the only one noticing the jan frodeno reference? "this is my favorite time of the day everyone is in the sauna we`re out here smashing ourselfs"
I feel my lungs burn, watching this 🙈
Mikael, great video. How many miles or Kms per week so these guys run at easy pace?? As in conversational pace? I'm trying to realise the importance of easy running, as most of my runs are not in the right zone.
Nice content Mikal Iden👌
Is this a high-altitude track and field? With a training partner, it makes the sessions more enjoyable.
no wonder these guys are world champs, they push themselfs so hard
Love it! Think ‘us brits’ be lucky to get anyone in the top 10 of the mens race at St George
Seventh of May we will have the answer… Expect Joe, Ali and David to be up there!
Definitely joe and brownlee!!
I like how you accidentally made the bike brakes sound like a choo choo train ;-)
For curiosity, what's the purpose for checking blood sugar after training？
Instead of Ronnie Coleman screaming for hours, I listen to Kristian and Gustav running. No joke, I was drafting on my last race and all I could think of was Kristian saying " I'm on Gustav's feet" and it gave me power for the last sprint.
17:10 LOL! Blu, It's just a race please don't die.
Gustav and Kristian are the real deal in the triathlon business.
"We didn't believe quite the height some British people have in the race weekend, so we don't believe the British hype, you know" Gustav Iden.
This track is in Sierra Nevada? ( Andalucía , Spain)
