0:00.0	Yes, we have a volume, but not so much that they did 20 years ago, but it's much more
0:06.5	pay attention to the intensity control and do the right amount of training to the right time.
0:13.0	And I think that is the secret.
0:16.6	And I think that is one of the thing that has made us improve more than some of the others
0:24.0	and most of the other athletes from other countries.
0:29.5	A Treflot Show, 223. Hey, what's up, everybody, and welcome back to another episode of that triathlon show, the podcast presented by scientific draflon.com.
0:55.0	I'm your host Michael, and on today's episode, I interview Adil Tveitain, who is the head coach of the Norwegian Trafalon Federation and the personal coach of all of the great Norwegian triathletes that if you follow either the short course draft legal circuit or even the long-course 70.3 racing or
1:14.5	recent years you have seen taking multiple great scopes, podiums and titles, including,

1:52.1	chat with Ardil about all things coaching and training. And we took some time to sit down
1:57.8	in his hotel room and record this interview. And it was really
2:04.0	gracious enough to share basically everything that they're doing very openly. And that's
2:09.4	something that I really appreciate about him, that openness and willingness to share.
2:14.9	So this is a real doozy of an interview. I think that you will really like it.
2:19.7	We'll get into it right after thanking our sponsors, Precisionhydration, that you can find on
2:24.8	precision hydration.com. If you have been struggling in hot and long races, one of the factors
