The Norwegian Method: Thoughts, Learnings, and Training Applications

About this episode

Dylan Belles discusses the Norwegian method and its applications in training for distance running.

In this episode, I break down what some of the best runners in the world are doing to maximize their training so they can handle more total quality work across the week. We get into the Norwegian method, double threshold training, and the real reason intensity control is becoming such a big part of modern distance running. I also share how this approach has impacted my own training and the athletes I coach, along with how you can start applying it yourself.
