About this episode

Eivind Vold shares his remarkable journey of building strength and endurance while facing chemotherapy.

What does it take to build strength and endurance at an elite level while facing chemotherapy? European Kayaking Champion Eivind Vold joins us to share the training philosophy and extraordinary athletic engine that make him one of the most remarkable hybrid athletes around. Within a year of chemotherapy, he ran a 2:39 marathon and benched 162.5kg. He explains how kayaking built elite strength and endurance at the same time, why cross country skiing became such a powerful aerobic base, and how he stayed focused after cancer diagnoses derailed Olympic dreams for both him and his brother.  It is a remarkable conversation about resilience, performance and refusing to stop.
