A Day In The Life of a Professional Triathlete || Gustav Iden

To all the people talking about food: Gustav need to eat about 8000kcal on these long hard training days. His limitation is not sleep nor the will to train more but being able to eat enough over time to manage the energy consumption from all the training. And that's not insignificant. 

Why do endurance athletes get injured? In my experience many don’t eat enough for the amount of energy they use in training: Is it more "healthy" to get injured because you’re not able to eat enough kcal with "healthy" food. Or, is it more "healthy" to eat some "junk" to fill your kcal demand to stay injury free and live life with energy to perform and win races ? ;)

- Yes, Gustav eats biscuits, desserts, white bread, Nutella and drink soft drinks and chocolate milk . But that's only around 15-25% of the daily need
- 2-6 bottles of Maurten 320 a day.
- Rest of the consumption as he tells in the video: Pasta, chicken, vegetables, fruit. I would think 4-6000kcal of this will gives him enough of macronutrients and vitamins a day :)

Challenge for you guys. Eat 8000kcal a day. For 7 days. And only what you find "healthy". Have a nice week :)

Damn the food quality in Spain is such a disaster 😂😂!!!

I wanna do triathlons, ive done marathons and ride most days but if i lose this much muscle is it really worth it?

working a real job and training in your spare time is more challenging than this forced training and napping all day.

it's 2024 and I'm back again. still one of the craziest run sessions I've seen.

did he mention durianrider

“but no im not tired, im iden”

The last year gustav was able to train freely without injury. I really hope he hasn't done a gwen Jorgensen and effed his career with the decision to try and switch back to short course 🧐 (marathon running in her case).

Favoritt yt video ever!

mi pregunta es, ¿para ser triatleta hay que vestir como un farraguas o eso es por gusto?

Love the vide super cool , they way you work at it 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👍🏾

Can anyone help me? What shoes is she wearing? Please🙏

Fantastic video, thank you!🎉

An ordinary guy living an extraordinary life

Thanks for showing world what it takes to be a pro. Kudos to you both

whats the watch he's using?

Since i child they told me you have to walk in the left sie dof the road so you see the cars coming and is much less dangerous..than being in the rigth side .

Gustav: Runs 2 hours uphill, bikes for 90mins and swims 5km

Also Gustav: “it takes 5 minutes to walk through the hall way!😩”

does anyone know the headband he wears in this video?

Your pants from the beginning of the video: where are they from?

Bad food, bad mask... 😅 Bad boy

Everyone he meets knows to run towards the traffic

This is a great video! Anyone know what watch he wears?

@mikal iden awesome video ! Can i ask you if Gustav takes any suplemment like probiotic, omega3, vitaminD, creatine ? Or its just caffeine and carbs ? :p

Awesome stuff guys. What Asics runners is Gustav wearing on the hill run? thanks again. All the best

Gustav is my Hero 🎉

The thumbail looked like Theo von

great job, thx for information and inspiration

How did they manage to be so cool and not bothered by the traffic?
It's noisy and emissions not good for breathing?

I want to know what he meant by if you stand like this you are below threshold, NV stand like this you are above threshold?.

Mikal how fast could gustav run 3000m (2miles) at his very peak, on a flat surface at sea level??

Dudeeeeeeeeee that's impressive :O

Una puta vida de mierda: training , eat sleep. The man is fucking slave of the Kronos and sport system. Life is short , why to waste time on fulfilling other people’s expectations…

❤️🏆💯👍🥇Curious to know what shoe you are training with?

Estás en Sierra Nevada, Granada, Andalucía, España. Deberías de haber empezado por decir donde entrenas. E país más maravilloso que hay. VIVA ANDALUCIA.

No porridge or muesli? The life in the Sierra seems like the life of a monk

What is the sunglass company? So sick

Love you Gustav will be cheering for you in Paris xx

What a legend.

Tja oder man arbeitet und muss abends noch aufs Rennrad oder trihatlonrad oder rolle

Anyone know what shorts these are?

When it comes to diet, everyone's an expert.

The traffic on this street so high up is just ridiculous. I bet 90% of such cars dont have a valid reason to disturb the scenery.

This guy have changed the new era of ironman.
