Show Notes
- The origins of the Norwegian Method. How Marius Bakken developed his approach through years of experimentation, threshold training, and performance analysis
- Why sub threshold training became foundational. How double threshold sessions allow athletes to maximize training quality while maintaining repeatability and recovery
- Muscle tone, elasticity, and stiffness in endurance performance. Why the muscular system may play a larger role in fatigue, performance, and recovery than traditionally recognized
- The hidden cost of high intensity and strength training. How certain training methods can negatively impact muscular state and reduce performance readiness over time
- Lessons from Kenyan runners and long term adaptation. What Marius observed about training intensity, recovery, and sustainable performance while training in Kenya
