Ironman training in altitude

"Changing my focus to try to learn how to deal with 7-7.5 hours of racing." That's some confidence!

He wasn’t wrong tho 👍

[@twicenatural]

He did it 😀

[@bbnd5476]

@@twicenatural No kidding. Casual 7:21 on the first try 😅

[@krruns4165]

This guy has every angle covered. Embraces technology to his advantage. If I was in his arena I would be taking note but I think he is many steps ahead of his main rivals. At the Olympics there was no way anyone could beat him that day, everything was emptied. Chapeau!

[@zwtvchannel]

The man spewed so that’s a fucking good indication 😂😂

[@iancollinge2254]

I think yee played his tactics wrong and went to early. I think he could have won that day

[@jamesd5241]

Blu doesnt even make a vlog about winning gold, just skip straight back to sierre nevada xD i cant wait to see him race cozumel. some insane sessions on strava. i just dont know how he does all that training without injury or overtraining!

[@gourami7]

Plenty of volume..

[@lknb5721]

Thank you for being so kind to Kenji! All Japanese Triathletes love you!

Hey KB , here in Clermont Florida in the sport since 1985 at age 28 thought I had seen alot, but 2021 you and your country Norway makes the sport for this 64 yr old triathlete alive and well . Hope to meet you one day . More than a great athlete , find young man .

[@theoc3655]

To think that if he succeeds at this he’ll have been highly competitive in 4 different distances is crazy but I’m not even surprised. I’m looking forward to a showdown between you and Jan in St George. Good luck and keep inspiring people.

Please more about olav aleksander bu and his knowledge. All the best and have fun with your first Ironman!

Such a legend! I'm from Mexico (actually from a town in the Northern border with USA). I'm actually considering going to Cozumel just to see you there, champ! Such an inspiration.

[@twicenatural]

Well done. Just keep at it

[@robertaskerpys]

Captivating vlog! Very interesting to see the day-to-day of your preparations, how much hard work you put in. Especially interesting all the overviews of the overall plan and why you are choosing various sessions. I think your vlog style inspires a lot of age group athletes to keep the daily grind ;) Good luck in IM Cozumel!

[@erab6539]

It’s pretty amazing to watch your journey. You’re a tough competitor and it’s exciting to watch you smash it!

[@johnzeena4378]

I've lived at elevation for deades and in extreme heat for 5-years. I do think extreme heat (30C plus) training is also a thing. I'm sorry I only subscribed because you won gold and will likely beat Sanders in an Ironman. Note: Your English is excellent. :)

[@maestro7ism]

First comment ever on youtube, thanks for uploading, you're a great athlete and inspiring human being all around!

[@petrivirjo]

Really nice stuff to see! So familiar surroundings :) Was nice to get to know you and Kenji in Sierra Nevada and see you training! All triathletes in Finland is supporting you in Cozumel! I will be betting on your win for sure, if that is possible to do somewhere! Best of luck to heat adjustment and regards to Kenji and Olav as well! Hope to see you also in Paris 2024!

[@earayaCR]

Kristian good luck in Cozumel and in everything what is next in your career, as an amateur, is really great to see you share data and how your training goes. Best of luck with your career! You are already a legend in sport!! Keep pushing!
