Perhaps it comes with the territory for someone with a degree in electrical engineering, but Kieran Lumb has never shied away from exploring the “Why” behind what he’s doing. 

In the context of his current day job, running as fast as possible at distances from the 1500m to the 10k, Kieran’s curiosity has led him to explore virtually every training style under the sun, never afraid to embrace the unknown in the name maximizing performance. 

That tinkerer’s mindset is what pulled him from his hometown of Vancouver  to Seattle, the sight of his breakthrough onto the global stage as young pro, and it is the same sense of exploration that has seen him make another move in the pursuit of excellence, this time across the world to the hub of endurance innovation, Norway. 

Less than a year into this most recent training upgrade, and already with a pair of national record-hitting times on the roads this year, there’s plenty of real-world feedback to suggest the changes made were the right ones. 

This week on The Shakeout Podcast, Kieran joins the show to recap his move across the pond, what immersing himself in the now-famous “Norwegian Method” has looked like, and what new and exciting innovations he believes will be the next to propel his career even further forward.
