A chamber that mimics the altitude, heat, and humidity of the most extreme places on the planet. That is where Erling Haaland, the Norwegian Manchester City striker, trains several times a week at the club’s facilities.
Then comes the ice. And the sauna. Between four and five times a week, his body goes from extreme cold to extreme heat, seeking to recover between sprint after sprint as if rest were also something to be trained. Haaland calls it being a “24/7 athlete”: he sleeps on a strict schedule, watches every meal, and works on his mind as much as his legs.
The result was seen at the 2026 World Cup: two goals against Brazil that took Norway, for the first time in its history, to the quarterfinals. His routine, documented by Euronews, shows how far a body can go when it is trained not to feel fatigue.
