Guest: Gustav Iden | Hosts: @jennacaer, @joshmvernon, @fredrikson.12
🎉 We made it to Episode 100! And to mark the milestone, we’re joined by one of the most accomplished and insightful athletes in triathlon—Gustav Iden.
In this episode, Gustav shares what it’s really been like navigating the highs and lows of elite triathlon. From shifting to a self-coached model with Kristian Blummenfelt and Casper Stornes, to chasing Olympic dreams and battling back after personal loss—this is Gustav at his most open and honest.
We dive into his transition from short course to long course racing, the dynamics of racing against friends, his aero obsession, and how the Ironman Pro Series fits into his vision of legacy and performance. He also talks about his love for cycling, rapid shoe development with ON Running, and why “winning is a choice” is more than just a quote—it’s a lifestyle.
The conversation wraps up with a quickfire Q&A from listeners, offering a rare look at the personality behind the podiums.
