Now in its third season, episode six of Red Bull’s Mind Set Win podcast features record-breaking triathlete Kristian Blummenfelt, alongside his high-performance coach Olav Aleksander Bu. Hosted by Lisa Ramuschkat, the episode takes a closer look at the duo’s unique approach to training and performance optimisation.
Blummenfelt’s drive and determination has led him to achieve extraordinary success in triathlon, earning World Championship titles across multiple distances. Growing up in Norway, Blummenfelt’s dedication saw him training for hours daily in freezing conditions – hard work that led him to Tokyo, where he secured Gold. Despite his individual achievements, Kristian attributes much of his success to his collaborative relationship with his coach, Olav Aleksander Bu.
Olav Aleksander Bu, a high-performance coach and sports scientist, is recognised for his work with Blummenfelt and other athletes within the Norwegian Olympic Team. His expertise extends beyond traditional coaching, encompassing performance optimisation, scientific methodologies, and rigorous testing.
In the podcast episode, athlete and coach discuss their training philosophies, the integration of data into their training, and the mental strategies employed to maintain peak performance.
Episode six of the third season of Mind Set Win is available on YouTube and all main podcast platforms including Spotify, Apple Podcasts and Deezer.
