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 Ingebrigtsen, 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 goes deep on the science behind the Norwegian method, and why slowing down in training could be the recipe for faster times on race day.
