Magnus Ditlev - Ironman World Record Holder - 48 Hours In the life

[@MattyJTri]

Bro WHAT.. casually pumping out 390W intervals at 1.4 lactate, then going out and running a 15 min 5k 😅 cannot comprehend this level of athleticism, big things for Magnus this year!

[@jonasibiza6416]

And after that 5k another two 16 min 5k´s

[@muhaa4144]

Yeah, people who dont train cant really grasp how INSANE this guy is. He makes it look easy but for 15min 5k you have to train for years and have amazing genetics. Bro did it 3 times in a row 😂

[@xXskaxxkidXx]

trying to wrap my head around 330w being zone 2 lol

[@franciszekkasperek2604]

Well, he might be using a 3-zones system in which Z2 is basically LT1

[@dottstefanopisu]

No. 1.5 molto/L of lactate actually means that is a Z2 in a 6zones scale

[@Leo_Baldes]

@@franciszekkasperek2604 no its not a 3 zone system, its just crazy.

[@KungFury_7337]

Right! It is so insane.

[@krilin84]

to be fair he did the second rep at 370W with the exact same 1.5mmol lactate response, so his 2mmol/Z2 ceiling may even be a bit higher still :)

[@moafshar282]

My guy's so fit, he consumes half the oxygen in Denmark.

[@michaelr.8402]

😱😅

[@PeterHagemeyer]

Truly a man of the people: ripping Tempus Fugit over and over and over.

[@dannyzuehlsdorf3697]

I didn't know Superman was still alive...and living with his MOM! Those training numbers - my mind is BLOWN. And what a very nice young man. I am incredibly impressed. And if anyone needs perspective on this, go to your local gym and get on a stationary or recumbent bike, see how long you can sustain 330+ watts. Good luck.

[@swimfree200]

Imagine doing a flat, chill ride on Tempus Fugit and Magnus comes flying by at 500+ watts, lol

[@princethumper]

So fortunate to have videos like this that give you the fly on the wall insight into these pros. Live the emphasis on recovery between sessions and all the little bits of knowledge shared

[@joshmcnulty5950]

26:35 I thought Magnus downed a glass of white wine at first 😂 I had to go back and check out the carton then learnt it was elderflower juice haha

[@TimNguyen825]

I'm a runner so I don't know biking numbers or metrics, but from the looks of the comments he's insane. Just looking at these running times after a bike workout like that is wild. This guy is a beast

1: im guessing im better TRI than you.... 2. if you know running you don't even second guess that wasnt 15:05 ... @@Zooga_Boy

[@ericb8985]

​@@againstdrivingdrunk614I don't understand why you're commenting your negative allegations below every single comment. Of course, anyone can do anything on video but at least on the run, you're eyesight must be off. I measured the clip from 20:38 to 20:57 on Google Maps (Freemasons' Hall in Copenhagen) to be around 104m which would result in a 3:03 km (very late into the interval since he finishes the interval around 300m later in front of the hospital). Of course it's no exact measure with video and google maps but it's definitely not "you don't even second guess that wasn't 15:05". Mind you, he's 1,95m tall which always makes running look slow. So please, mind your own business instead of telling others that they didn't know running.

[@kinseybruno5920]

His form is actually very appealing compared to other triathletes. Very impressive

[@triatletens]

I don't know what impresses me the most: That he produces these monster numbers or the fact that he's so humble about it? Mega fedt at få et indblik i jeres tunge weekender Magnus og Kasper - i gør det begge super godt!

The numbers are totally shocking 🤯🤯

yea, they are a mockery to TRI bc they are wrong running numbers.... still high level impressive but those guys are not doing those numbers... @@laurynai

[@againstdrivingdrunk614]

past generations of TRI were 1. Swim heavy 2. too much only volume 3. facebook pictures at races... now its more impressive than yoou guys even can understand of.... so you guys are a mockery too it... asshole summary

[@billymans2259]

The BEST i have seen in a looong time on any athlete. Please do more athletes from PRO field. I hope PTO and IM is learning from this. THANK YOU ❤

[@sodaresoda]

100% agree! This kind of content would be GOLD.

[@fabianthaesler1317]

Thanks a lot for the insides and the small included portrait of Magnus. Even if the concept was of course very different, this video is MUCH MUCH BETTER than the T-100 one (sorry to them). Magus is a giant in triathlon and its says a lot about him to show his manner of doing the pure everyday work, without any airs and graces. One of his strengths is to stay with himself - and his kind of 'no show attitude'. No doubt that this leads to further greatest possibilities in triathlon. And with these numbers the 2024 season can come! All the best for it - and thanks for sharing!

[@michaelgriffiths305]

Words like “Monster” “Animal” etc are overused. He’s not just a phenom. He’s smart, articulate and there is method to this Herculean training. Serious guy. Happy to see him win PTO series or Kona. If his swim continues to improve and he can trot out a 2:40 Marathon with his bike he can get up to Laidlow… interesting video. Thanks for putting it together.

[@LewisFordham]

These bike numbers are absolutely insane 🤯

[@okimy3668]

Yes the bike numbers are insane, but: 15:05 5k as (part of!) a brick run afterwards, holy moly

Damn Bro @@okimy3668

[@againstdrivingdrunk614]

they just seem like it bc its low elevation on a stationary/comp input... 330 spikes 280 avg would be more road... but its pretty impressive cycling that TRI has nowadays...

Does he have a good chance to win kona??

[@jovanizambrano6118]

I’ve always been curious about triathlon and the amazing accomplishments these athletes achieved. Never watched it though. T100 Miami happens to be Live on KZbin right now. There’s a good chance I would have stopped watching after 10-15mins or so, if I didn’t watch this sweat elite video and learn about Ditlev and the T100 series and that he was going to be in it. Took a break from watching to let you know I’m invested now and thanks to sweat elite. The importance of making these athletes (listen world athletics) recognizable and approachable.

[@martinonmountains]

Sweat Elite, thanks for bringing the quality content!!!

[@gabeduran8321]

Good for you Big Mag! In recognizing for 2025, that you do not have a chance at T100 in 2025 with all the ITU "speedsters" coming up to middle distance, your true worth is at 140.6 events, hence your decision to just concentrate in im pro series for 2025 will bode well for you! And as well foregoing Roth! you already dominated that event the last three years! Jenteloven!!!!!!!

No that is indeed insane 😂

These numbers are up around mid-pack Tour rider level. The sport of triathlon has progressed so massively in the past few years. Awesome to see.

Skulling a full glass of box wine after a day like that seems the right thing to do

[@finnwilliams3945]

its not wine its a danish drink called hyldeblomst saft

[@joshmcnulty5950]

I thought the same, I was super impressed by his numbers, how humble he is, helping make dinner after an intense day like that… but downing a glass of white wine was the most impressive part! BOSH!! 😅 …until I realised it’s elderflower juice haha

[@KnightsOffical]

If somebody wants to know, the record magnus set is: 46mins 47sec 3.8km swim, 3h 57mins 180km bike, 2h 37min 42km run. One after another, pure madness. To run marathon in that time is elite world level, to do that after 180km bike and swim of almost 4km, out of this world.

Insane watt numbers on the bike. 500 is way beyond 99% of athletes can ever achieve. I wonder what VO2 max he has. It has to be way over 80. If you look at the other Zwift drivers they are just blown away😅. Incredible guy.

1.1 mmol at 16min 5k. it's amazing to see what's possible.

I will never complain that my pool is crowded. I don't think I can swim with more than another person in my lane. Too intimidating for me to keep the pace as a beginner

[@arceus54321]

a 15min 5k after that bike workout is crazy

Hi guys i wonder if you use two different continuous glocose meters like the freestyle libre 3 and another brand. Then you get readings all day long for 15 days

[@danread1997]

Scary good!!

[@tobias3581]

The 1.1 mmol reading after fast brick 5k seems like a bad reading, no? Bad readings often go to 1.1 and the temperature you measure at is below the supported range for lactate pro 2

[@AboveThresholdRunning]

You’d want to be elite as a runner not to have a lactate near 2 at least from a 5k at threshold for sure, has to be wrong

[@thestreakpodcast]

Very cool. Where is the basement? Near Magnus's house? Who were the other athletes? Cheers. Ross.

[@mbulow1]

What are the devices taped to his thigh that he rides and run with? (See it 7:30 into the video)

[@jensleopold184]

I also wanted to know what that smart devices are and did some research. As far as i know now, it is something like the keenbrace or in this study it is called a NIRS (near-infrared spectroscopy) sensor which monitors your form and compare the balance and strength of every engaged muscle. Hope that helps ;-)

[@jeremymaclean3535]

its called a moxy monitor and looks at oxygen levels in the working muscles i believe

[@smackerooney31]

Yeah it’s a Moxy, testing o2 levels in Muscles.

[@fabrizziofernandez6540]

I just wonder with all due respect if Magnus or some of his competitors are currently 100% natural. If so is very veryyyy impressive. Larms amstrong said on a podcast that his ftp on those time was about 500w and we all know what “those times” means. I would like to know what other people think, let me know guys !

Magnus you look to be in amazing shape. I sure hope you carry all this into the Miami race and get the result you want. With this type of training performance it’s hard to imagine who can beat you, but that’s why you race. The numbers are truly outstanding and your run form looks very smooth. Stay healthy and I’m very interested to follow your races in 2024 and beyond.
