We Summited Everest Together — Then Went Back to Work on Monday | Håkon & Hanne Hyttedalen - E193
Norwegian couple Håkon & Hanne Hyttedalen summited Everest in 2026 while holding corporate careers. Trail running, UTMB, and the formula for an extreme double life. (158 characters)
"Imagine finishing your work week on Friday, flying to Nepal, summiting Mount Everest — and being back at your desk by the following Monday.
Håkon and Hanne Hyttedalen are Norwegian consultants. They work full-time in corporate Oslo. And they have also won ultra trail races, run the UTMB around Mont Blanc, completed a 160-kilometer mountain race in a blizzard with a 77% DNF rate — and this May, they stood on the summit of the highest point on Earth. Together. As a married couple.
Today we're getting into exactly how they do it — how they train two hours a day without burning out, what it feels like to nearly not make it off a mountain, and whether any of this is actually accessible to the rest of us. Stay with me."
