M.Talks — Kristian Blummenfelt & Gustav Iden
"It's a different way of fueling, because traditionally you fuel for what you think you can do. But now we fuel because we want to do more."
Episode 3 of our M.Talks series presents the Norwegian triathletes who have ripped up the rule book for triathlon fueling and performance — in training and across multiple race distances. Is it working? From Kona to the Olympics, their haul of race wins speaks for itself.
M. Talks is our open mic series — unscripted and honest. Where the world’s greatest athletes give us an insight into how they fuel — day in, day out — and what you should be thinking when you train and race.
“So the first thing with Maurten was the realization that we could do more than what’s considered normal. But that's only in the last few years we really understood the importance of that.” — Gustav Iden.
“You feel that it's really like rocket fuel and you feel like it’s so much easier to get that high amount of carbs in per bottle.” — Kristian Blummenfelt.
