Beyond Talent Podcast

In this episode, we discuss the keys to the Norwegian training method.  Given the massive successes the Norwegian’s have had from the Ironman World Championships to International Track and Field, Coach Ted dissects how these Norwegian athletes are training in order to produce their world record breaking performances. We are calling this episode “The Lost Episode” as it was recorded back in March of 2023 and it sat on the shelf for some time.  We weren't sure if it was going to ever get released because we had other shows pile on and lost track of this one.  But, I pulled it off the shelf, listened, and enjoyed it. We hope you enjoy this episode…and don’t forget to Follow Us on Spotify or wherever you get your podcasts!
