Head coach Arild Tveiten about Blu, Iden and Norseman

Arild is the Sports Director and Head Coach at Norwegian Triathlon Federation and he is now looking forward to getting his athletes back from the long distance circus after this weekend. No one has ever had success with going back from long to short distance. Kristian and Gustav have impressed me and probably others by their transfer from short to long distance. -No one has ever made the transfer back to short distance. I can’t wait to get them back to the team for preparations towards the Olympics in Paris, says Arild. Besides holding a black Norseman Finisher T-shirt from 2005, Arild is responsible for the high-performance program he developed back in 2012. Arild has been the personal coach to most of the athletes on the Norwegian triathlon team from 2012 until the Tokyo 2020 Olympics. Hårek and Arild talking about these five topics in this interview: The training methods that have made Gustav Iden and Kristian Blummentfelt more robust than any other athletes out there. Norwegian style tapering and the way of creating a culture for winning. From long to short with success? Arild claims no international athletes, except Kristian and Gustav, can beat Breivold at Norseman.
