Three times Norseman winner Allan Hovda shares his best training advice for racing

In 2008 Allan watched a video of Norseman and thought these athletes were insane. He’s now joined their ranks and achieved what he believed then to be the impossible.

Allan has gone from 44th place in his first ever Norseman race nearly 10 years ago, to winning the race three times and coming second in the first ever XTRI World Championships held by Norseman in 2019.

In this episode, Allan shares his triathlon journey, best training advice and how he fits training in with work and family.
