Ironman Test Session Part 2

[@StudentopiBlog]

It's simple! When Lionel posts a video first thing I do is click, second thing I do is get my running shoes, cycling shoes, or Swim shorts ready. Cause I know without a doubt that at then end of the vid I'm gonna be motivated AF!

[@AmateurExpert23]

X-pert Mastermind absolutely. Any time I know I need to do a workout but am not wanting to, throw on some Lionel and it’s game on.

[@k4r1vince]

Instant!

[@_prototyp]

Same here 👍

[@harrybalszak7526]

I usually go and start drinking vodka and smoking crack because I know Lionel’s been doing my exercise for me.

[@StudentopiBlog]

Harry Balszak hey man whatever floats your boat!

[@AllKinaTing]

his wife is always there...amazing support

[@dustinmaherfitness]

I am more excited to watch you in Kona than watch the Super Bowl!

[@GoncaloAmorim97]

When is the Race in Kona?

[@SpeedyGonzales57]

Gonçalo Batista October 13th 🙂

[@wolfid72]

Oct., 13th

[@tagecom]

I've been looking forward to this second part. Thanks for taking the time to share with all of us. Looking forward to watching an epic day in Kona!

[@richardhudson4649]

I ran a 5:05 marathon at Mont Tremblant this year. I walked 3km. My walking pace was ~9:00/km. My running pace was ~7:00/km. My PB open half marathon pace is 5:36/km (1:58:14 half marathon) Trust me, Lionel's definition of 'walking' is my idea of a PB half marathon.

[@bogdanbahura7202]

Haha, I'm in same situation here.And if you check how many Heart beats per minutes is having you are thinking that he is walking at fast pace all the way through a triathlon.

[@kennethstarskov6152]

What would Lionel Sanders do? That´s what I ask my self when the alarm goes of at 5 am and I just feel like snoozing until 6:30 instead of hitting the asphalt. That question get me jumping out of the bed and heading out in the dark energized and motivated. You rock Lionel! #NoLimits

[@tjfreer294]

112 miles in an oval, only Lionel could do that

[@harrybalszak7526]

TJ Freer he’s a race car

[@tassovarvarikos384]

where is that oval?

[@nrtolv]

@Thai Idol Cam He said he did 112 laps, or and 3/4 of an Ironman. An Ironman is 180km, 3/4 of that is 135. 135 divided by 112 is 1.2. So, every lap is 1.2km or 0.74 miles.

[@dannyr333]

1 mile oval with beat up pave and cracks wtf 112 times 4 hrs duration this guy is in shape mentally physically bro

[@tjfreer294]

Just realized my comment blew up lol

[@tryhardpker]

Gatorade needs to up ur contract price. Im sold on that stuff.

[@JustinDoesTriathlon]

Jesus man. If I held your MTB watts for an hour, I'd be shouting it from the rooftops. Thanks for being an aspiration for the rest of us, even if we're basically the same age which makes me feel *real* bad about myself. Keep kicking ass bud.

[@TheBlablubb1989]

„As you can see my mental capacity is completely fine at the moment“... starts to make funny noises and doesn’t know which way to put on the running shirt a couple of moments later 😂 Man I am soooo hoping for an epic battle between you and Sebi in Kona!

[@bretth6058]

“Just stick to the plan, Bro!” You are going to crush it!

[@SuperAlias84]

I’m racing my first IM in Italy tomorrow. You are really great inspiration guy. You think about everything, you test, and you have no certitude. I love that. Keep going with your videos ! Thanks and thanks to talbotcox for it too

[@nfkb0]

Look for Antoine Perche and Damien Béthencourt, Lille en Force !

[@nfkb0]

and enjoy ! it's superb to do the first IM

[@markankone9362]

How did you do the race ?

[@shay9732]

Can we get a movie length Kona special!?!? Talbot??

[@michaelboitnott8075]

The anticipation for this follow up video was freakin killing me. Glad the plan worked and keep up the hard work, can't wait for Kona this year.

[@scolariIRE]

At the end of the part 1 video I thought that was it, that you had burnt out....you tricked us hahah. You are on fire my friend. KONA for the win!!!! I love what you are doing. Keep it up.

[@albapaciocco1511]

I love this community you've built Lionel, everybody trying to help with their comments but it all starts with you inspiring everyone that's watching. Best of luck in Kona, I'll definitely will be willing you to come through first. #nolimits

[@pquickfall]

Well executed mate...Remember the 6 P's...Proper Preparation Prevents Piss Poor Performance. you will ace Kona.....good luck x

[@lindseydavis44]

I love how analytical you are about everything! It may seem a bit obsessive to some, but your passion for the sport really shines through. I can’t wait to see you crush it in Kona! You’re such a huge inspiration!!

[@luismboc]

Lionel's work ethic is simply astonishing. Even more astounding is that he's sharing all of this online, right before a major competition. Superb athlete, person, inspiration.

[@Mike.A.]

More gold and well worth the wait from part 1. Thank you Talbot and best of luck Lionel! Joy in your heart.

[@billlorenz6563]

Always appreciate your honesty and openness with your mind and soul! Great that you are feeling strong and on target! It's motivating! Stay strong and know that you you were not put on this Earth to be average! Go get it!

[@edlaverack]

Ride on Lionel! Cyclist from UK here. Excited to follow your day at KONA!

[@paulberesuita1007]

Beast! All the best in Kona!

[@vr46rossimola]

I really feel we are so lucky to get to see this videos. Keep it up. I really got so happy to see the new nutrition plan is working, everything seems to be coming out in a good way to Kona. Can't wait to see you coming through that finish line.

[@maxikieken]

So eye opening. To know that even pro triathletes from this kind of level experience the feeling of needing to walk during a marathon or even use the toilet during a race. Thanks for the inspiration!

[@djdobbs1316]

One amazing athlete. Very motivational. Always inspirers me to watch your videos and straight forward approach to everything.

[@lievederveaux]

Keep those inspirational videos coming Lionel. Just loving it!

[@MM-ts2fi]

Really looking forward to watching you race this year in Kona Lionel! Best of luck!

[@PLakaXRy-fw2so]

Excited to see if your at good shape again. Imo (please dont flame for my opinion) u can not simulate a competition like Kona. All those different strategies coming together with different types of athletes. The only thing u can do is, dont mess the preparation up.

[@elkpik32]

Was super happy to watch your part #2 ! Stay strong Lionel !! All the best in Kona #nolimit

[@ivanchristophersen5450]

Thank you for sharing. Fantastic inspiration. Good luck in Kona!

[@waytogo3373]

Fantastic! Helping me greatly watching your videos. Cannot wait for Kona!

[@Krede11]

Counting 3850 strokes while swimming hahaha. Love it

[@kajet666]

The watch does that for him, trust me.

[@leegmann2282]

Swimming looked so much stronger, Lionel. Glad you were able to execute your nutrition plan. I’ll be rooting for you in October!

[@ejsimpson8270]

This guy's focus and determination is next level.

[@Samuel-gs3jb]

It's great to see you better from that race! Can't wait to watch u in Kona!!

[@johngmcdonnell]

At last a real intelligent athlete, really hope that you kick ass in Kona, loving the approach and the dedication

[@ottl2]

Sadly it's more like he's not the smartest guy...But his will to win and capacity to suffer makes up for a lot

[@aligferrari]

Thanks for sharing Lionel. Thanks Talbot.

[@kingleunitas5920]

Rooting for u this year in Kona, come to Four Seasons to train in our pool. Looking forward to meeting u!

[@antoinehock4148]

Awesome video as always but please please sync the voice volume to the music volume :s

[@beltransuarez4941]

I am from spain and even though you are my man... this year i gonna push in my roller while watch kona... keep pushing lionel

[@jayrichman9643]

so stiff in the upper body when running Lionel. Thanks for the second part, excited to see how Kona goes :) big fan here

[@athleticpotatoh3823]

I'm jealous. I tweaked my knee three weeks ago and my furthest run since has been 4.4 miles and it frustrates me so much. I took an entire week off during those three weeks and have been icing and it is still bothering me so i don't push it....I'd go to the doctor, but something tells me they would tell exactly what I already know to do and in the U.S. you typically will only go to the doctor if you absolutely have to. You're looking good man, keep it up.

[@ivarbrinkman2195]

swim: much improved from 2017, bike : 300 watts normalized as in kona before (about 4,15 watts per kg), run: 2.40 marathon pace over 21k . Even though the conditions are not comparable ,you are already well set to be in the front of the race again- halfway How will you prepare for the remaining half ?

[@ethanbray9719]

Loving the vids Could you do a vid on nutrition like how much you should eat before and after training. And how much you workout a day etc Cheers

[@SuperKat1029]

I enjoyed watching your swim form. Thank you for the video and I’m glad you feel more confident.

[@chrisdaly5125]

26 Aug, Good Work Colonel ,back off fresh'n up ,be ready !

[@DzlDizzleDzl]

Man this guy REALLY understands training.

[@mariluzgprunn5219]

[@runningdownadream2639]

This is F***IING insane man.

[@fabiotallero5264]

Legend in progres!

[@nfkb0]

Awesome ! so happy you're mental/nutrition/overall game is on track. But I don't get the thing of doing the swim in Speedo, was it to drain more energy and make you even more confident after this test ?

[@jdo1014]

Worst surface, have you ridden in the UK? Stay strong for 13 Oct 👍

[@Bardsedia]

J0rgan was just thinking that! Can’t go a minute without smashing into a pothole 😂

[@robertodefilippo1867]

Lionel, Congrats! You are Part of my Motivation. I am Planning my first half IM in 2019. Could you tell me how much sodium I should be replacing an hour according to my sweat rate? Thanks bro!!

[@nB-fl8hm]

I have been waiting for this video for one week.

[@travismcgarry]

Dude!!!! Next freaken level.... thanks for sharing you legend!!!!!!

[@kajet666]

At first I thought you'd do a full marathon, which would've been insane. Well done. One week after a full IM, too...

[@carlosthejackal7847]

Truly bloody awesome, love this guy tells it like it is. Go smash Kona dude !!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@VaeVictisVII]

I'm surprised to see Lionel running with a shirt :o. Keep it up dude!

[@linear7612]

Nice!!! Good luck for Kona, Lionel!!!

[@yearingolf]

Lionel your knees track outward when you ride. Fix it up you'll save heaps of time on the bike.

[@phxrsx]

I wonder if he could use shorter crank arms.

[@rs.br.9584]

A lot of work on bike technic will save him extra minutes

[@ottl2]

Hey guys are you sure about the knees? I have more power when my knees look a little bit outward

[@yearingolf]

@@ottl2 yes you won't see any pro cyclists ride like Lionel

[@ottl2]

Ok thanks a lot, I will work on that then...Thank you

[@heikkisanelma6625]

IIII LLLOVE IT! Lionel is back! #BandWagonSanders #InTeamSanders

[@remusmocanu5580]

Can't wait to see you perform at Kona! Are you certain of not hitting the wall though after 30-35k of running? I hope you were feeling great after the 21k you did in this video, and able to complete the other half marathon at ease. I'm rooting for you at Kona this year, I hope you perform the way you envisioned it all along.

[@ironmantooltime]

I don't think you can ever be certain of anything in kona 😄

[@phxrsx]

His swim has gotten so much better.

[@keithlacey]

OMG I can't believe you are running that fast heel striking! Stick to the plan!! :D

[@akdrn3624]

Go man... 30th of September I will be doing my first half ironman 😱, thank you for sharing your experience!

[@rs.br.9584]

Lionel, you are a bio machine! Great sportsman!

[@larryoptis3452]

awesome...now I wanna go for a run..love it!! :)

[@ruurd31]

Awesome men, keep it up!! Thanks for posting

[@knittingdoula]

4:33 recorded time. "That's with four beers." Love it.

[@piotrkowalczyk3016]

Respect. Nicely done. Yet, your bottle mate should change the way to hand you new bottles. The way he does it it’s a risk for nim and you. The bottle should be placed on flat palm as it was a table. Cause if Henia grabbing it, wrong timing may result in the biker falling down.

[@colindittmer.]

Great video, but why the continual reference to one week ago at Mont Tremblant, when it was one month ago ? As for the race track, I didn't see any hills on it; hope the jarring hasn't set up a fester of saddle sores which could bring a man to his knees half way through kona.

[@derekatkins6330]

This session was done 1 week after Ironman Mont Tremblant...the video that you are now watching was released a few weeks later.

[@mtswimmer7]

So is Corey Bellmore an old friend/training partner? Or the most Lionel Sanders extreme nutrition consumption during high performance activity advisor/consultant possible? It's just great that we never see you train with anybody else and the few times that we do it's the beer mile world champ.

[@normanwoods8844]

Great job Lionel😎

[@ЄвгенПрудкой]

Lionel, watch the video of your run from behind (10:58 - 11:21 sec). The problem is with the repulsion of the left leg and the problem with the advance of the right leg forward.

[@borrisjung8049]

All the best for Kona. I want to see you win, even when I'm German ;-)

[@conormaguire7672]

Lionel did you have a front wheel change? HED and a different wheel being used was it a puncture?

[@LSxAaron8800]

Conor Maguire yes

[@jimreome]

He's so got this. 1 or 2 in Kona!! Go Lionel!!!!

[@theBidon]

“Stick to the plan, bro” should be on his team’s shirt in Konya.

He rode on the former Ford Test Track in his hometown of Windsor, Ontario, Canada. It's a 1-mile oval formerly used by the Ford Motor Company to test drive new vehicles. The abandoned track was converted to a public park in the late 1980's.

Soon to be known as the Lionel Sanders Test Track

[@johngmcdonnell]

Looking good , venous system looks full, veins up and not flat. So given the sweat rate that should be good. Would try and conserve more fluid . Would think about more salt in, that will draw in more fluid and allow you to drink more - remember you'll not absorb as much as you put out so you might need to replace a bit more. Be careful with the not needing to pee, its always advisable to be able to pee, not need to but be able to, the kidney function is seriously reduced during exercise of this type and further stressing it is not good. Slightly more fluid and more salt will benefit you in the heat
