A Champion's Method | Kristian Blummenfelt: Uncharted

Рет қаралды 410,264

Күн бұрын

Kristian Blummenfelt conquered the world between 2021 and 2022, winning almost all before him - an Olympic Gold, the Ironman World Championship and the Ironman 70.3 World Championship.
However, there was still a race distance he was yet to claim - the 100k.
In 2023 Kristian would do all that he could to take victory on the PTO Tour, racing all three races in Ibiza, Milwaukee and Singapore. Despite a remarkable schedule, the Norwegian star finally landed the coveted win at the PTO Asian Open.
We filmed with Kristian and the Norwegian Method training camp in Font Romeu, France as they prepared for a gruelling month of racing including Milwaukee, Paris Test Event, SIngapore and Lahti.
In this series, 'Uncharted' goes behind the scenes with the world's best triathletes in training as they prepare for the toughest, most competitive races in professional triathlon.

KB already got it all. KB is the only person to win IM world titles and Oly gold months apart. That took Frodo 7 years. And Frodo was a wheel sucker in draft legal racing who needed a fluke sprint finish in Beijing. PTO rank #1 and long course was KB's SIDE HUSTLE part time job. Frodo was never good enough to side hustle with off distances. KB is the best at his side hustle too.

@marcuswills6569 6 ай бұрын

There is no "ideal" body type for Triathlon, he's proved that time and time again.

@tsvetomirpenev9164 6 ай бұрын

He does not do weights, the Norwegians found out that it works quite well for them. But if you follow the logic, doing such heavy cardio loads will start "burning" muscle which is the most metabolically active tissue in our body and will store some fat ( your body know you are trying to kill it with all that load, so it needs some spare calories for the rainy days and like that you get more fat). I have tested it myself and only biking and running I have gained 8kg for an year hahaha ( doing it a few times a week not like pros ofc). If you want to be more lean you need to work with weights.

@@winterjohannesYes, I believe he’s mentioned that he had many x-rays and tests when he was young because his chest/sternum area was growing outwards/forward, giving him this ‘thick’ or ‘abnormal’ look… but this also then provided space for unusually large heart and lungs capacity. (His lung capacity is said to be 120-150% higher than most elite athletes, that’s why he’s also mentioned it’s like almost having 3 lungs, in terms of what output advantages that gives him in training and racing. His V02max has also been tested to be in the 90s, which is why his ‘ceiling’ for upper threshold work is much much high than most athletes, and basically part of why he sprinted to win the Olympics from 1km out, because he knew, almost with certainty, that Yee and Wilde were not capable physiologically to go into that upper threshold for that long, even though their final burst/sprint is faster. That’s also why the tactics for Paris Olympics will be very different, because everyone now knows that the race has to extremely fast to drop KB before that final 2-3km on the run, otherwise, I would almost guarantee KB will win. I think he will win anyway, because I suspect he’ll be able to push the bike/run so hard… harder than anyone can imagine at the moment!). Absolute beast 💪🏼🙌🏼

The GOAT KB !! The only athlete to win IM world title and Oly gold months apart, and the only athlete to race Olympics and IM Kona just months apart, which he will do in 2024. PTO rank #1 and long course was KB's SIDE HUSTLE part time job. Frodo was never good enough to side hustle with off distances, let alone be ranked #1 at his side hustle like KB is. KB registered the highest EVER VO2 max of any athlete, all time, all sports, at 100 - 104 his coach stated. Insane.

With this V02max he would be unbeatable cyclist in cycling pro tour. Yet he is not the strongest even in triathlon. I am sure Olaf (his coach) knows it and regards these data with irony.
