Putting the Norwegian Method to work for you: What runners of all abilities can learn from world-beaters like Jakob Ingebritsen. Ft. Author Brad Culp

This week on The Shakeout Podcast we sit down with Brad Culp, author of the newly released book The Norwegian Method: The culture, science, and humans behind the groundbreaking approach to endurance training. 

Brad takes us on a deep dive into how a tiny Scandinavian country has managed to produce such world beaters as Double-Olympic champion Jakob Ingebritsen and why the same principles that have become a staple for pro-runners the world over might be the secret to your next breakthrough.

From double-threshold training to blood lactate testing, this episode is all about going deep on the science behind the Norwegian method, and why slowing down in training could be the recipe for faster times on race day.

Whether you're a double-threshold disciple or just figuring out the heart-rate function on your watch, this episode gives you the knowledge to apply Norway's game-changing philosophy to your own endurance training.
