Hard Run Workout

[@CjayeMedia]

Doesn’t matter if Lionel ever wins a world title. He will always be my favorite triathlete.

[@Elias-oh8kn]

I totally agree with you

[@Cheesyfruitball]

10x - this dude could have won nothing and I’d still view him as a decorated champion. The guys an animal!!!

[@Anders11J]

Completely agree. He seems truly genuine no matter who he's talking to or if there is a camera in his face.

[@ironmantooltime]

Like Jimmy White in snooker playing with Stephen Hendry and Steve Davies and a host of others. Always the fans favourite but always falling at the last hurdle 😭

[@pjbeattie1]

Amen.

[@abuckeye26]

I feel Kristian, Gustav, and Jan have all changed triathlon on the course, but Lionel has changed it off the course. He's pulled back the veil behind the scenes of a day to day pro triathlete and really has made the marketability of a triathlete exponentially better. All the other pros with KZbin channels are because of him. Maybe he won't leave his mark as a world champion but he definitely has left his mark and legacy in other ways

[@coztebebude696]

He is Michael Jordan (until 2022) and Conor McGregor (2023 onwards) of triathlon.

[@steeleronfire7030]

And in the races where he is in the mix, he has an uncanny ability to consistently finish the races in dramatic style. I don't think he is the greatest triathlete in the world compared to the competition, but I 100% believe him to be the greatest 'racer'.

[@kylebaker8502]

@@coztebebude696 Honestly terrible comparisons. Literally nothing like the piece of shit that McGregor is, nor was he absolutely dominant like Jordan.

[@kyliehollis4646]

Lionel is the reason why I’ve enjoyed Triathlon as much as I have. He has a whole hearted perspective that is generous, honest, kind and inspirational ❤

[@MrYbeaudoin]

I feel the editing, the music, the mood of the video leveled up on this one. Great job! NO LIMITS!

[@malibudoublechin]

Very refreshing words Lionel. You’re self aware and humble. You get it. We appreciate it!

[@percy404]

Your enthusiasm about being able to train hard again is inspiring. Thank you for showing us along, Lionel.

[@Steveness100]

The highs and lows of training!!! Love it Lionel - great to see you back on track! 👍💪👌

[@askhatashimov7250]

Love that Lionel is just a man, who is doing as much as possible to be on high level! It’s just so human 👍🏻 certainly #1 in hearts!!

[@fiddlefiver]

Love the power tracker and heart rate monitor , makes you realize how fit Lionel is

[@absolutetuber]

No kidding. I see his heart rate in comparison to his pace and I’m in awe.

[@emberchord]

I can't believe he's running this speed at this heart rate. I'm so jealous. I wonder if I'll ever get even close to this.

[@CautionBeforeCoffee]

He has a naturally low HR, he doesn’t have a high top end, there are pros and cons to both.

[@PhuLa]

Yeah that HR is insane. Seeing the difference between elite athletes vs mere mortals is so humbling. I saw world class marathon runners run 6minute miles at 120hr. Like speed walking for normal people.

[@aarondcmedia9585]

This video wins the "Establishing shot for a training day" award for 2023. Nice!

[@kylebaker8502]

Best pro ever, hands down. Win or lose, mans the best!

[@shanegill5091]

Lionel. You caught me today with your channel. I don't know you but you're a guy I can look up to and relate to at the same time.

[@richardhess4611]

I doubt Lionel will win a world title but to me it makes no difference - he has succeeded in making triathlon entertaining to watch, follow, and participate in and his races and media postings are endlessly inspiring and motivating. I hope he keeps it up for another five years at least.

[@koryjensen8610]

Trevor is gonna be an animal. Great bud!

[@SyzGoss]

aaaaaaand that is why we love Lionel!!!!! just brilliant!!

[@runbikerun8189]

You are making a lot of sense here! Your swim is what it is, you've put an enormous amount of work into the swim. Train your strengths, at this point I feel as though the run is best chance of making significant improvement in your performance rather than working overtime for marginal gains in the swim.

[@hschofield82]

Both funny and serious moments captured here--thanks for sharing.

[@mminzSTORM]

Having the pace, power and hr on the screen was really cool, hopefully can keep it up

[@kaidenlieto3833]

Attitude conquers all, fear doesn’t exist anywhere except in your mind! 😂 Nice work LS, gents and Talbot!

[@graemeporte3105]

Lionel tell it like it is. Mystery Pro is just adding fuel ⛽️ to the fire 🔥. Best person to lay it all & I mean all on the line is Lionel. Love the honesty & frankness. But when you pull the tiger 🐅 tail be sure not to let go as it tends to bite

[@billpicciano5341]

Thanks for inspiring us All Lionel , Keep pushing keep up the good work, so fun to watch, and though there’s ups and downs, you’ve given so much More to cheer for. . Keep Rollin

[@jerometaguet1670]

no limit.....great motivation you give us and me Lionel Sanders...

[@james3040]

Lionel don't be hard on yourself man, your a legend of the sport 👍

[@zakcollins987]

it's really nice seeing your run power numbers. my run threshold is about 300w, but as I'm fat, that equates to a 5:45/km pace. it's very motivational that if I could increase my power by 20% and reduce my weight by 20%, the speed increase is substantial!! thank you for sharing your data :)

[@gaiusvelleius]

Love that Lionel´s training partner has the indestructible Garmin 920xt. What a watch!

[@Lionel.Sanders]

his watch is taped to his wrist!

[@deportedsouls3165]

I would love more videos and more often!😊

[@absolutetuber]

“If that’s your self worth….” In reference to winning….that’s exactly why people are out there doping. They will do anything to win. It’s not about pushing yourself, it’s not about exceeding what you thought was your limit. It’s only about getting that one spot on the podium and that’s what defines them. Even if no one ever finds out they doped *they* will always know and that’s why they continue doing it. Because it’s never enough.

[@robertallen4694]

When Lionel gets his language right (how he talks about things), he be a more consistent winner.

[@colindittmer.]

Good call on the antibiotics. They won't kill a viral infection. Good workout, good music, good video 👍

[@Jdwmaguire]

From 9:11 to 14:45 with captioning on the screen was just a breath of fresh air, had to turn off the auto captioning! Was hoping to watch the whole thing through with it like that but disappeared, what’s the reason behind it? Appreciate the effort in captioning the video. Looking forward seeing what LS got in the bag for the future races, always my triathlete to watch no matter what 🤙🏻

[@frankeeehoward50years]

[@stefankennedy428]

Love the power / pace / HR gauge on the screen. Insanely low HR for that power / effort / pace. No idea of your LT HR or max though. Probably around LT1 based on lactate and around HM pace??

[@petebarber6778]

Looking Good Bro.

[@craigcusack1751]

Lionel, I use Olive Leaf Extract as an alternative antiviral. You can get it in flavours and just take it as recommended.

[@exbtri3608]

I think you need to try the galloping swim technique. You’ll get far better reach.

[@_J.F_]

No doubt, as long as the fastest swimmers are also amongst the fastest on the bike and the run then life is going to be unreasonably hard if you are not amongst the fastest swimmers. I can only think of one triathlete capable of eating into himself and against the odds catching up with the front and that is Lionel Sanders but I'm sure it must be getting harder and harder each year too.

[@Naah732]

Sam long thought. He's heavy which is advantageous on flat courses

[@Andrija_AS]

You are going to win that title champ! F what they say

Can’t believe their pacing, it’s unreal. I can run a mile in about 5:30 and only do it once. Unreal how they can push the pace they do multiple times.

Just curious which power meter you use for the running and if it's actually accurate? Thanks for the vids brother

[@gtkona1608]

Lionel seems to 'discover' knowledge that has been available for, what, a decade? Allen, Scott, Van Lierde, Reid, going back 20 to 30 years front pack swimming has been necessary other than in an occasional race. So when is he going to 'fix the swim'? Regarding training, nothing is new since a paperback book on nordic racing published about 40 years ago.

@ 3:49 - It's disconcerting seeing a wobbly triathlete wining in 7:49, given how lean Lionel is. I get fat helps in the swim, but not the bike, I would have thought, and definitely not in the run. But there he is, wobbling across the line in first place. Weird. Is that normal?
