What drives someone to race four major triathlons across two and a
half continents in just six weeks — and still come out sharper on
the other side? In this episode, Jan sits down with Olympic Gold
Medalist and World Champion Kristian Blummenfelt to decode the
mindset of the "Norwegian Terminator." Kristian opens up about his
"kamikaze" racing schedule, the devastating mental basement of a
bad race, and why his deepest fuel isn't the joy of winning, but a
fear of loss. Jan also shares a personal angle: after his 2022
crash and surgeries, Blummenfelt became one of the reasons he
wanted to come back — to race him one more time in 2023.They dive
deep into the split with his long-time coach, the transition to
being self-coached, and the truth behind the 103 VO2 Max rumors.
From the aggressive racing style of his hero Alistair Brownlee to
the high-stakes "barking" in the Olympic village, this is a raw
look at the methodology and the madness required to redefine the
limits of human endurance. Enjoy! The Pod by Eight Sleep is a smart
