A Run Workout in Tucson

[@killroy123]

The loop is an absolute paradise for training. I hope you enjoy your time in Tucson.

[@nhrrsn]

Damn if Lionel can compete at the highest level with that running form then none of us have any excuse!! Lionel you're a beast 👊

[@ericgbarber]

Absolutely. There is such a hitch in that stride it's really hard to watch.

[@destinationbikeatboxhillin8255]

That running style is typical of lots of very strong cyclists. It mimics the power at the bottom of the pedal stroke to push forward off the ground. Hard for a pure runner to do..

[@brendanclemmens88]

I'm not worried about the run hitch - he's double dipping those chips!

[@hobpeeper]

@@destinationbikeatboxhillin8255 Ironically, he's a runner first.

[@hobpeeper]

I think it has more to do with his proportions - legs/longer body (like a swimmer).

[@rickyricardo9918]

Thank you Lionel, Erin & Talbot for posting an update + enduring the critique session that typically follows in the KZbin comments...

[@Hunterbrans27]

New subscriber and learning tons from videos. My third year in sport waiting for opportunity to race in Kona since canceled last year. Thanks Lionel for being real. Rock On 🤘

[@mariatooker3475]

Watching Lionel suffer while my riding on my trainer in the small ring is sooo much fun.!!! Really, it is inspiring! Keep up the work, especially as the rest of us old ones need the motivation we get from watching you!

[@glenngundermann2433]

Thanks for the update Lionel. You are an inspiration. Wishing you all the best.

[@alexf8913]

Think I remember running on that same trail last year. It was 95 degrees, but couldn't believe how cool it was with the low humidty.....hardly broke a sweat.

[@tomasazevedo1979]

Very nice of you to open up about your nutrition! I do eat a plant-based diet but I completely agree with what you said. What an inspiration you are!

[@amalonsoesp8786]

you do much more for triathlon than people who have won Kona, thanks for the courage and strength you give to all of us in terms of motivation and being honest.

[@aitoraltuna]

Good to hear that you are trying to be more plant-based! It's possible, I am myself, but as you said, there are lots of personal habits and characteristics to be taken into account to make it work. Best wishes, Lionel!

[@Ljungcrantz]

you are such a beautiful runner!

[@DiZBrad11]

Awesome stuff! Just ran this morning on the loop... it is BEAUTIFUL!

[@melaniemiles9220]

Thanks for caring about the horrific suffering the animals go thru. Plant based is much better for recovery, performance and long term health. Rich Roll is one good example... Date balls in tahini or nut butter could be a quick calorie load.

[@1wiesehoefer1]

Keep on fighting you and Frodeno are the best, greetings from Germany

[@nomadtriathlete3027]

Thank you for inspiring me every video!

[@kevinvantroyen]

Great vid , when are the Tim & rinny vids coming @Talbotcox

[@mathewsteward753]

Amazing pace considering the heel strike running form, can't help but think Lionel would benefit from not 'sitting in the saddle' running form, a running coach would make life easier and put less stress on the body, forward lean , head and shoulders up !

[@jorgscz9175]

running form looks a lot better! Proud of you man

[@alejandroHcoronel]

Twist and shout in the swimming pool? Thats great!

[@keomo]

Hope you're settling in nice and comfy in your new crib! Can't deny I'm jealous of the weather haha Keep it up!! Thanks for sharing ;)

[@iandonnelly727]

Can't underestimate the power of that sun! It's draining, but just another bump in the road.

[@thomasgonzalez7965]

loved the video format!

[@alexanderwendelbo1447]

Whats up Jesse Thomas! Where the oakleys!😎 get some proper running glasses haha. Love you Lionel! You’re incredible!💪🏼

[@MaxRothFitness]

saw you the other day on the loop, looking sharp and fast!

[@joer2962]

Interesting that he has a very resilient body and injury free and was raised on beef and cheese. I think that is no accident. Especially at the level you push yourself. Keep up the good work man. You will win Kona soon.

[@BradleyRettele]

Lionel you are a beast! Keep working hard! - great job on the video @talbotcox

[@athleticpotatoh3823]

Thank you spreading some love to vegetarians and vegans.

[@sebastianpedersen7233]

The time trial is going to be so good 😃

[@rosslacey8555]

To deflate his massive ego. As Cam Wurf said, Lionel is not a great cyclist.

[@MattyJTri]

You can totally do plant based eating at your level! It took me a while to figure out where to get the calories as well but you’ll get there’s keep it up 😁🌱

[@nielsbrand291]

Good day / bad day remember, being the best at something is never easy Good luck on the national timetrial championships!

[@daytondario6216]

dont know if anyone gives a shit but if you guys are stoned like me during the covid times then you can watch pretty much all the new movies on InstaFlixxer. Been binge watching with my girlfriend during the lockdown =)

[@alejandrolian7101]

@Dayton Dario Definitely, I have been using instaflixxer for since december myself :D

[@trplpltr8804]

@talbot-cox: very good movies!! great quality!! Thanks Lionel for your great input!! it is so great to watching your beast mode and cool talking🤣💪😎 Everythink is great.. please more!!!

[@raphaelhenry1]

It would be cool to see a video on how Lionel schedule his competition season. How does he taper Tremblant followed by the Canadian road cycling championship?

[@phxrsx]

Lionel should do the Oro Valley Sprint Tri coming up on the 23rd.

[@sambrown1779]

Good work mate. Keep punching 😎💪✌️🎂

[@lavdurisymons5833]

Thanks lots. :D

[@heavyhues]

I know it's silly to give you advice, but i think you could make some easy gains in running when you train your flexibility a bit more. It just seems that there is more range to be discovered in your motion when you compare your running style to the ones of other triathletes.

[@JeanyvesMonti]

you are the best Lionel you are the engine of athlete

[@clausiej]

200 watts to my FTP 😳. I Will send likes to .....whatever...... 🤤

[@williamward2472]

I'm with Claus on the 200 watts

[@albertdevries9796]

Hi Lionel, did you know you make overpronation when you foot land on the ground? You can see it clearly at 02:28 when it goes in slowmotion for a few seconds. Maybe something you may check and adapt with the shoe your running to make your running more efficiënt Keep up the good work!

[@todoperdido8017]

I was told there would be watts here🤷🏽‍♂️ also dreams come true? Good luck lionel!

[@mrfirmman88]

Talbot: Are you not going to get destroyed? Lionel: F**k you! Banter

[@blackwatch_TV]

dope, more like this please

[@appakinggg]

So many comment on his running form... we are all different and whatever works for him, he should do

[@banyaszbence1429]

@@banyaszbence1429 Enjoy. ;-)

[@phxrsx]

Glad you're in Arizona :)

[@tupperware8040]

Lionel, or Talbot if you're reading this, check out Cody Miller's vlogs. He's a professional swimmer in the US, one of the top breastrokers in the country, and I think his attitude towards his training would be both interesting and beneficial to Lionel.

[@cicirunner]

Don't be so hard on yourself and force yourself into 2018 old habits. Trust the process, Lionel! For an Ironman athlete, you don't need to hammer 1k repeats like you're training for a 5k.

[@rickyricardo9918]

Erin sez; "...the workout was to be “AT LEAST 6 x 1km....but not more than 10” and was going to go by feel after 6 reps. Hope this helps explain a bit better."

[@pDPjay]

What did he do? His running looks much smoother now.

[@EatMyPropwash]

Lol that outdo was awesome. I love being an ovo lacto vegetarian.

[@kennethstarskov6152]

You are the best - but dude - supposed to do 6 by 1k, but ended up doing 10 by 1k - 66% more than planned. Isn't that the kind of decision that get you in trouble down the road? Just saying....

[@lucaschniefer6455]

Kenneth Starskov that’s what i was thinking too

[@holti72]

I was thinking the same. Making the same mistakes over an over. More is not always more, most times less is more. Just my 2 cents.

[@PtWhiteBelt]

More of the same. Having coaches makes no difference as he'll ignore them and do whatever he would have done otherwise anyway. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@HectorDavide]

so much bla bla bla about following proper coaching and avoiding past mistakes with all the self-training and then he decides that de 6x1k were not enough and better put 10x1k. Somehow sympathetic or pathetic.... hard to decide.

[@226mauricio]

Could not agree more. Great athlete but he's a coach's nightmare. After Kona '18, he mentioned he was going to train smarter...I guess he's back.

[@jared-zc1dg]

good run!!

[@kerstentheuma460]

The best ❤️

[@kenbeech4940]

Lionel might be one of the most unique individuals that are out there. Why do they all seem to find triathlon?

[@danielawidmer7836]

Nice beat

[@jasonkerr931]

Lionel, just a heads up brother. Never sit on the couch with a laptop covering your AREA. Studies have shown and Europe has exploded with cases of testicular cancer due to laptops and emf radiation directly to the groin that laptop computers produce. I know you are in a saddle all the time, so just a good tip for future man health bro. My wife alerted me years ago. Just a friendly reminder. Love your channel and you inspired me for my first triathlon last year! Keep up the great work!

[@PtWhiteBelt]

Source?

[@jasonkerr931]

PtWhiteBelt If you google it, you find many saying it bogus, yet many studies show an increase in free radical cancers in areas exposed to EMF radiation via WiFi connectable devices. Like anything you google you will see so many legit cases and many bogus. Whether it is or isn’t, it’s always good to be safe than sorry especially when your nether regions are on a saddle everyday. Just trying to encourage and help out our brother, Lionel for anything that might hinder his game in the future. Long term EmF radiation is proven to cause all sorts of issues even beyond cancer. The sources are too plentiful to write. Just google and check out all info. Cheers

[@kurushw]

One way of looking at doing extra reps than specified is that you are not listening to the coach?

[@shay9732]

So how are things going on the coach front...? A workout that began as 6x1km and turned into 10x1km sounds like the 2018 Lionel hahaha

[@TalbotCoxMedia]

S9732 the workout was no set interval. He wanted to hit between 6 and 10. Depending on how the body felt.

[@shay9732]

Okay sounds good! Just want to see him reach his full race potential :)@@TalbotCoxMedia

[@switchkfbsts]

[@hobpeeper]

Why is it that no matter the quality of the video, there are always some thumbs down? Are there professional haters on youtube?

[@ermathatcher5053]

Hey Talbot - you should do a video on Lionel’s nutrition .... how much he eats a day, what he eats depending on a workout - pre and post.

[@farrelchinnappa9484]

He lands just below his center, small strides quick turnover, stays low moving forward all the essentials for endurance running

Tucson is an amazing place. As professional athlete who trained in Tucson for 5 years with life-long asthma I can highly recommend it.

@@ThomasGerlach4Tri thank you sir, ive been waiting for a response. R really appreciate your reply. Do you mind telling me what you train for and what kind of asthma you suffer from? Severe/moderate 💪✌

Brandonian3030 I am a professional triathlete. It can be dusty in the air occasionallu if really dry and windy but in general very good.

[@ThomasGerlach4Tri]

@@Brandonian3030 I am a professional triathlete and I suffer from typical high-level asthma and allergies. No pre use inhaler but still restrictive breathing based on typical peak flow volume. In addition typical exercise induced asthma. What I can say is Tucson is a great place to training for those with breathing issues.

[@Brandonian3030]

@@ThomasGerlach4Tri beautiful. Thank you for the response. Im an athelete who wishes to compete in a tri one day. Im an avid runner who enjoys the trails, biking and swimming when i can. Asthma doesnt hinder my performance so much as i take a daily maintenance inhaler by the name of symbicort. Im sure its not great for me longterm but it has kept me from getting pneumonia during our treacherous winters here in canada. I also have a deviated septum from boxing which im sure doesnt help either. Reason i asked was i hear people who suffer from breathing issues litterally pack up and move to arizona to help or even eliminate symptoms. Cant see myself ever moving but a place where i can breathe freely would be a place i would love to travel to and visit, especially if it means trails to run on. Peace and godbless

[@kyrileontiou7098]

There is lot of calorie dence foods on a vegan diet e.g. nuts, seeds, nut butters, oils, avocados, coconut butters, plant based cheeses, plant based burgers. No need to murder animals for that. FOLLOW YOUR HEART

[@ericwalker7471]

His left foot is a midfoot striker and the right foot is a heel striker. That is why his running style looks off.

[@PtWhiteBelt]

And for his stride length, midfoot would be the most expected, maybe even forefoot... But I don't want to pile on, since he's already getting a lot of criticism and has been for the last few years. Me? I'd get in touch with someone like Running Wolf (Lange's running technique consultant) and follow whatever plan he would prescribe to a T.
