Olav Aleksander Bu is the sports scientist who turned a small Norwegian triathlon programme into the most replicated coaching template in modern endurance sport. The 'Norwegian Method' — high lactate-threshold volume, daily lactate testing, double-threshold sessions — produced Blummenfelt's Olympic gold, Iden's Ironman world titles, and a generation of imitators across cycling and running. His 2024 move to head coach of Uno-X Mobility makes him one of the few coaches who has run the same testing-driven, individualised approach across both World Tour cycling and elite triathlon.
