Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Solveig Løvseth - Ironman World Champion
Q: Who do you think is your main rival or competitor over the Ironman distance this year?
She avoided naming a single rival, citing several strong contenders like Cat Matthews, Taylor Knibb, Lucy Charles-Barclay, and Nora. She emphasized that competition is tough and she doesn't like to fixate on one rival, focusing instead on personal bests and consistency.
JONAS SCHOMBURG
Q: What does a typical training week look like for you?
A mix of two daily sessions during the base period, with a focus on riding and running volume, occasional long rides, and simple, consistent workouts rather than overly complicated sessions.
The Triathlon Hour with KRISTIAN BLUMMENFELT
Q: How do you view the balance between competing against rivals like Gustav and maintaining a friendship with them?
He stresses a deep mutual respect with Gustav, acknowledging disappointment and shared goals, while maintaining a professional drive to win and supporting each other's chances in races.
The Triathlon Hour with KRISTIAN BLUMMENFELT
Q: Given all the PTO and Olympic prep, which race would you call your A-race this year?
Kristian indicates the Olympic test event is a focus but treats the overall build as the priority for the next 12 months, with Singapore and Paris forming a critical, high-commitment sequence that tests readiness for the following year.
Fred Funk Reveals The Biggest Mistake We Are ALL Making In Training
Q: Okay, going back to training, mate. What do you think is the most common mistake that the majority of people make in their training?
There is a lot of hype; amateurs with full-time jobs need to be efficient, so quality over volume is important, but volume generally beats intensity for middle-long distance racing. Without enough volume, you can't sustain the higher intensities over a race.
