	Description:		When Åsmund Martinsen began working with a young Andreas Thorkildsen in 2001, they set about making the “most athletic Javelin thrower in the world” in order to develop a special talent. They developed a program based on the balance of strength, speed, flexibility and gymnastics, to create a “superathlete” that happened to throw the Javelin, and remain healthy enough to contest for all major titles over a long career. On this week's podcast Martinsen breaks down the training of two-time Olympic champion Andreas Thorkildsen with guest interviewer Shaun Pickering.

We've had lots of javelin throwers and coaches on the podcast and the GAINcast. Check out javelin coach Mike Barber on GAINcast 175, European javelin champion Steve Backley on GAINcast 156, Olympic medalist Goldie Sayers on GAINcast 106, New Zealand javelin coach Debbie Strange on GAINcast 237, and American champion Dana Lyon on HMMR Podcast 193. Thorkildsen had a long and consistent career. We ran some numbers a few years ago to see when javelin throwers hit their peak, which shows some interesting developmental trends.
