252: Arild Tveiten - coaching Norway to the top of the World! - a podcast by Rob Wilby

Arild Tveiten - the coach taking Norway to the top of the triathlon world

We've got a fascinating interview for you this week with the man helping to turn Norway into one of the best triathlon nations in the world.

Arild Tveiten is the brains behind the success of 2019 Ironman 70.3 World Champion Gustav Iden.

He's the coach who's helped Kristian Blummenfelt to the fastest 70.3 time in history - 3.29.

And he's the person who guided Casper Stornes to his first ever WTS win in Bermuda in 2018, and with it an incredible Norway 1-2-3 on the podium.

You'll hear:

*Why and how Norway are doing things differently to become one of the world's leading triathlon nations. *How he started to coach Kristian Blummenfelt as a 17 year old in 2011, even though he had no formal coaching background

*The thinking behind Gustav Iden becoming World 70.3 Champion on a road bike

*How he turned Gustav Iden from a 'really slow' swimmer into one of the world's best triathletes

*Why he thinks Norway will win their first ever triathlon medal at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics
