  • Maurten x PILLAR panel discussion - Hosted by Dr. Sebastian Zeller - Frodissimo Lounge, Germany 2023

    This is a special episode. We were lucky enough to collaborate with Ryzon Apparel to bring forth an activation called the Fortissimo Lounge in Germany. We were in the company of brands such as Canyon, La Marzocco, HOKA and Maurten. The intention was to showcase the evolution of Jan Frodeno and how he has progressed to be the greatest triathlete of all time.


    We had the honour of doing a panel discussion with Maurten, hosted by Dr. Sebastian Zeller, founder of the Triathlon Crew to discuss the evolution of sports nutrition. In particular, macronutrition through Maurten and micronutrition through PILLAR.


    This is that discussion. Hope you enjoy.
