Norwegian triathlete Allan Hovda is our guest this week as we explore the idea of shifting our mindset to embrace winter, like a Norwegian. With talk of further lockdown and second waves of Covid-19, we pick Allan's brains to find out what makes a Norwegian tick when it gets colder and darker outside. We explore the extra little things you can do to love winter; from cold water swimming to fires and hiking. We also hear about Allan's background in triathlon, Norseman battles, aerodynamics and why round bottles are NOT the way forward, working on an oil rig oh and the reason behind wearing a white tri suit.
