Norway has long stacked the field with champions in sports like Nordic skiing and sailing, but a new generation of athletes has arrived on the endurance scene, smashing records and grabbing medals in running, cycling, and triathlon.
Sports journalist Brad Culp unpacks the rise of the Norwegian method and its meticulous scientific protocols, which upend long-held beliefs about training and performance.
With its rugged terrain and harsh weather, Norway has a way of hardening competitors for any test. Culp explores the how the Scandinavian culture imbues a unique biopsychosocial approach to performance. He also introduces the athletes, coaches, and scientists who are shaking up the world of endurance sports. Their secret? Plenty of volume at low intensity, punctuated with hard-fought double-threshold workouts, which seems to turn workhorses into winners—they know when to hold back and when to go all-out.
The Norwegian Method is a real-life story of how discipline and determination can be employed to overcome seemingly impossible odds and achieve breakthrough performances. Culp gives endurance athletes a blueprint of how to adapt their training to look more like that of Norway’s Jakob Ingebrigtsen and Kristian Blummenfelt.

Last weekend Ruth Chepngetich broke the women's marathon world record with a time of 2:09:56 at the Chicago Marathon. She was bested the previous world record by 1:56 and beat the second place woman at Chicago by roughly 7:30.
Her performance sent shockwaves around the world. Since she crossed the finish line a question has reverberated through the running world and within each of us: How do we frame this performance and Ruth's place in history.
In this episode I share the questions I've asked myself this week about how I frame athletic excellence in a variety of sports, examine my contradictions and biases, and set a path moving forward.

Christian Allen might be the most fascinating man in U.S. trail running. The two time all-American at BYU and Weber State is now a professional trail runner sponsored by Nike and Peregrune. He was able to parlay his high level college success into a trail career that is currently focused on top sub-ultra events in Europe and the U.S. He is a dynamic racer who isn't afraid to push from the front, even against some of the best runners in the world. All-in-all, he is my favorite American male trail runner to follow and it was an honor to have him on the show.
In this episode he talks about his entrance into the pro trail running, how being a man of faith and a man of action create a perfect symbiosis, and how he was able to reach the podium at some of the most legendary races in the world so early in his career.

Bridget does a wonderful job detailing all of the feelings associated with her injury as well as the "all-in" method she used to bounce back and possibly return better than before.

We are in the midst of a mid-run nutrition revolution. The amount of carbohydrates runners and endurance athletes are consuming during long training efforts and races has nearly doubled in the last few years. In this episode, I discuss that revolution and what it's like to start a company with this in mind with Gabe Multer and Aaron Gouw, the co-founders of Carbs Fuel.
You can purchase their 50g gel and liquid nutrition products at The Feed or on their website www.carbsfuel.com.
*Carbs Fuel is not a sponsor of this podcast but I have been buying and using their products for three months.
