How to ride faster for free – part 2

In my project #FasterThanSuperman, where I try to become the most aerodynamic triathlete in the world, I have learned that “its all about the engine” is not true.

In part one of the blog post series, I … Fortsett å lese How to ride faster for free – part 2

10 % more power or 10 % more aero?

More power or better aerodynamic? This is my thought about this existential question. Would you rather increase your FTP with 10 % or reduce your aerodynamic drag with 10 %? If you gave this option to triathletes I am certain that most would opt for the increased FTP. But it is the best option? This … Fortsett å lese 10 % more power or 10 % more aero?

Podscasts for triathletes – the ultimate list

Reading a lot has never been my thing. Listening to books and podcast, however, is a complete addiction of mine. I listen wherever I go and whenever I train, except when I am swimming, which demands too much concentration. These are my favourite podcast for triathletes. Note that my preference is the in-depth talk of one … Fortsett å lese Podscasts for triathletes – the ultimate list

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.

Nutrition is also highly debatable and … Fortsett å lese Training, recovery and nutrition – Triathletes Holy Trinity

Power to the people – my thoughts of power meters in cycling

Tools for measuring power output in cycling have been available for quite a while now. In the early days, it was very expensive and unpractical regarding calibration and maintenance.

This year a few new products were … Fortsett å lese Power to the people – my thoughts of power meters in cycling

The triathlete/cyclists guide to hairless legs

We can just admit it; legs, where you can see every muscle fiber firing like pistons under the tanned skin, is much more aesthetically pleasing compared to the pale hairy variants.

Race report Ironman Barcelona 2017

Mine forberedelser til konkurransen ble ikke helt optimale, da jeg bare 5 dager før konkurransedagen fant ut at konkurransen var flyttet fra søndag til lørdag, og jeg hadde booket et fly som gikk ned på fredagen. Det betydde at jeg måtte fly ned, registrere meg, skru opp sykkelen og sjekke inn den og utstyr på … Fortsett å lese Race report Ironman Barcelona 2017
