Mika Noodt - Training deep-dive, racing the T100 World Tour, epic strength training routines and more!
Mika Noodt is ranked second in the T100 World Tour standings (with two races to go), has four T100 podiums so far in 2025, and has multiple Ironman 70.3 and Challenge Family wins and podiums on his resume. In this interview we discuss Mika's training in great detail, get into the specific dynamics of racing in T100 races, and we even discuss how Mika might have ended up being a Formula 1 driver rather than a triathlete if circumstances had allowed.
HIGHLIGHTS AND KEY TOPICS:
- How Mika got into triathlon
- A deep-dive into Mika's training, including key swimming, cycling and running sessions
- His unconventional (you might say epic!) strength training blocks
- A breakdown of a full week of triathlon training with Mika - from the lead-up to T100 Wollongong (where he finished 2nd)
- The dynamics of racing on the T100 World Tour - what is the swim, bike and run like, and how does it compare to Ironman 70.3 races?
- The pacing strategy Mika uses to maximise his performance in T100 races
- Mika's decision to focus exclusively on the T100 series in 2025
- A full Ironman in Mika's future?
- Listener questions
- ...and more!
DETAILED EPISODE SHOWNOTES:
- We have detailed shownotes for all of our episodes. The shownotes are basically the podcast episode in written form, that you can read in 5-10 minutes. They are not transcriptions, but they are also not just surface-level overviews. They provide detailed insights and timestamps for each episode, and are great especially for later review, after you've already listened to an episode. Naturally, as great as they are, they do not cover absolutely everything in as great detail as we can do in a 45-90 minute podcast episode.

WHAT SHOULD I LISTEN TO NEXT?
If you enjoyed this episode, I think you'll love the following episodes:
- Jelle Geens – Ironman 70.3 World Champion, three-time Olympian | EP#470 - Jelle is also coached by Ben Reszel, so it's interesting to see both the similarities and the differences in the training of these two athletes. And of course, Jelle and Mika are in a tight battle at the top of the T100 standings.
- Craig Kirkwood | EP#421 - Craig was until the end of the 2024 season the very longstanding coach of Hayden Wilde, one of Mika's main rivals in the T100 series.
- Solveig Løvseth – Olympian and the fastest Ironman debut in history | EP#466 - another pro triathlete interview with one of the top performers from 2025
