Threshold Training: Is it worth the hype?

Threshold training has come to prominence in recent years, primarily through the success of the Ingebrigtsens. In this episode, I discuss what threshold training actually entails, why it might be a useful intensity to train at, and what are the limitations with threshold training. A lot of the dicussion is centred around a recent review that discusses why "The Norwegian Model" of training may be the next step in the evolution of training practices.
