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

[@jackofbirds7198]

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

[@KungFury_7337]

Right! It is so insane.

[@Livsglädjemusic]

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.

[@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

[@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.

[@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

[@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

[@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!

[@againstdrivingdrunk614]

[@laurynai]

The numbers are totally shocking 🤯🤯

[@againstdrivingdrunk614]

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

[@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

[@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.

[@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!

[@oscarovanger1979]

[@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.

[@bretzky9261]

This guy could contend as a world tour TT specialist.

I’ll do my first Ironman this October in Croatia and I’ve just watched two days of training and nutrition and tips from the record holder. This is awesome movie!

[@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.

He such a down to earth guy! Also insane numbers, good lord 😱 500w sprints, and 330 Z2

[@stefandepizzol237]

500w isnt a sprint, it‘s a supra threshold interval (z5) and lasted 5mins. Sprints aren‘t longer than 30s

[@martins.-j.9024]

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.

[@ianbarnett6027]

This was a super interesting video to watch. Great detail about his training etc. Must be one of the fittest athletes on the planet. Thanks.

This is mind-blowing, 15 minute running intervals, just banging out a 5k every time.

When you can call 355W steady! 👿 *MAGDIESEL*

[@brothatwasepic]

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

[@brothatwasepic]

Whoops it is lactic acid testing not glucose ah ❤

[@Ouga_Official]

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

[@KerenWang]

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

[@zikaperic2133]

lets stop for a sec and look closer to the numbers: 506w for 5min to attack, then 425w for 5 min and then 20min at 355 steady

a 15min 5k after that bike workout is crazy

[@99cya]

you are such a beast. its mind boggling. its a joy to just watch you train. sports is really the greatest.

[@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

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 !

[@orthopaedicsurgeongr]

There are no naturals at these levels - are you for real?

[@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

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