Welcome to episode 4158 That Traathlon Show, the podcast presented by Scientific Traathlon.com.

My name is Michael Erickson, and today I interview Adil Tewitwitaine.

Ardild probably needs no introduction as this is his fourth appearance on the podcast.

I will, of course, link to his previous appearances in the show notes and they are well aware of a listen so you can go

and have a look at them if you're interested. But very briefly he built up the Norwegian

national team in triathlon from scratch and was the head coach of the national team and the

sport director of the federation for many, many years and

has overseen countless draft on successes with Christian Blumenfeld's Olympic gold in Tokyo

2021, an obvious highlight. But I think the podium sweep in the WTCS race in Bermuda in 2018 is also

worth a mention here because that was a fantastic race and a fantastic event.

We have discussed both of those events and much more, including Ardil's training methodology

in those previous episodes mentioned, but Ardil is now the high performance director of the

Norwegian Swimming Federation.

So we will discuss this change from triathlon

into swimming. We'll discuss swim training and high performance in swimming. And we will discuss

applications and learnings for triathlon, including for age group triathletes. But just before we get

into the interview, let's thank our sponsors, precision fuel and hydration. They create carbohydrate

products like gels, drink mix and

shoes that are effective, practical and tasty. And of course, they also make electrolyte products

in different strengths so you can choose one that best matches your sweat, sodium concentration.

Their products make it easy for you to execute your nutrition and hydration plan in both training

and racing as they are tasty, have practical packaging and use simple round numbers so you don't have to do mental math when redlining in a race.
