Podscasts for triathletes – the ultimate list

Note that my preference is the in-depth talk of one … Fortsett å lese Podscasts for triathletes – the ultimate list
Fuel to be good – not to look good

Training, recovery and nutrition – Triathletes Holy Trinity
Training, recovery and nutrition. When I hold lectures about triathlon I always point out what increasing performance is all about. It’s those three words. Simple as that.

Hjelmpåbud – et livsfarlig tiltak
