Scientific Triathlon
Welcome to Scientific Triathlon, home of That Triathlon Show, a podcast for everyone who loves training, racing, and learning about what makes triathletes and endurance athletes faster.
I’m Mikael Eriksson, a triathlon coach who’s endlessly curious about how we can train smarter and get better results without the fluff. On this channel, you’ll find both interviews with world-class coaches, researchers, and athletes, and solo episodes where I dig into the science and practical side of triathlon training.
Whether you’re doing your first sprint, aiming for a podium at the Ironman World Championships, or simply trying to make the most of your limited training time on a busy schedule, my goal is to give you useful insights and ideas you can apply in your own training to achieve your goals and become the best triathlon version of yourself.
Please like, subscribe, and above all, SHARE the content with likeminded people if you enjoy it.
Keep training smart, and keep loving triathlon!
