Apologies for the skipped frames in the middle of the video. I accidentally shot with one camera at 25fps and another at 23.98fps, and then exported the video at 25fps. Thanks for understanding!

[@bohouss3622]

Who cares, still the best work in the business! Thx

[@sean7456]

Bro, it thought you were just getting artsy with it. Next time, don't say anything. lol

[@Geffen79]

I think it gave more punch to theory of being dynamic : )

[@Shortlongrunrunner]

I just presumed it was me glitching. Looking forward to the Kona Vids.

3.5 hrs at around 330W!!!!! Crazy! Congratulations!!

[@ericmain30]

That’s my warmup

[@ironmantooltime]

I can do 3.5 mins 🤘

[@ult1m4t30wn4g3]

That's pretty insane. Even though my FTP is 380, I can only hold to 330W for 1.5 hours max. This guy is on another level.

[@austindecoteau2700]

@@ult1m4t30wn4g3 that makes no sense, I can hold 325 for just shy of 3 hours but my ftp is 340-350w… are you using a ramp test? Maybe I’m doing something wrong honestly not sure 😅

[@ult1m4t30wn4g3]

@@austindecoteau2700 All I know is my power limts for certain time frames. 410W for 20 min, 380W for 45 mins, 370W for 1 hour, and ~330W for 1.5 hours. Not sure why my power falls drastically after 1 hour, but it does.

[@chiandet]

Dynamic. Nothing in life is guaranteed. 👏

[@jeromed2]

I heard a pro ironman triathlete back in around 2010 say that between races, he didn't train. I forgot his name. He raced every week or two between Avril or May to Kona in October. The tv announcer said it wasn't the best thing to do cause by doing so, you can't work on things you need to improve usually done during training. But the guy had good times...Less is more for some athletes I guess.

[@toon8945]

Absolutely focus on recovery

[@jeromed2]

Everybody is different, right? 😉

[@PeacefulRallyCar-pw3cs]

The game has changed. Ten years ago, LS would show up and dominate. Now he has to train even harder and really work on technique.

[@TheDomLouis]

8:50 - You were obviously getting better, as you pointed out, and decided to throw all that improvement out the window to start all over again from scratch. Do you notice the pattern??

[@johnclifford8140]

Can’t wait for Kona Vlog, get a house and have T Foley, Sam Long and Lionel. Your last one was great. @TalbotCoxMedia

[@jamescorcoran6179]

congrats on your race. Lionel are you doing 7 hour continuous training days (5.5-6 hour bikes followed by 1-1.5 hour run)? This way you can do long days (similar to IM day) but doesn't smash the legs. I saw your video on longest training day ever but it wasn't continuous you went home and had breakfast and lunch.

[@abbekraus0101]

72 hours in 72 minutes, holy shit that got me excited 😁😁

[@stutishejjekar5288]

[@krynicalg3825]

Lionel fresh on the bike is scary

[@luukschellens7057]

Lionel, out of curiosity: (1) why do you wear regular socks and not aero socks on the bike when there’s at least 10 watts to be gained? (2) why do you change gear entirely and add probably about 1 min to the transition?

[@didiervanrompaey]

What do we want: Kona Vlog!!! When do we want it: Now! 🙂

[@runbikerun8189]

Look at why you had such an epic performance in 2017 in Kona...What do you need to do in order to replicate and exceed that?

[@adamreebs]

Serious question. How did they decide a winner in real time if they had a time trial start??

[@gtkona1608]

Actually, CB and GI listen to a coach, Frodeno listened to coach, and LS is self coached......

Recovery video?

[@rylanrussell9595]

His stomach in Kona could be a huge issue. If he started vomiting at the end of a swimless, cool weather race then he's gonna be vomiting right off the bike at Kona. Heat is hard on the stomach, and you can tell he hasn't built up nearly enough heat acclimation. Even in his training video recently he attempted a run in the heat and had to come back inside for the treadmill.

[@RKa-zh4zz]

Then you didn't listen carefully in the previous video, training in the extreme heat of Tucson is more damaging then helping, that is why he finished on the treadmill..

[@rylanrussell9595]

@@RKa-zh4zz I listened, and I disagree. He should have finished that run. You did not listen. He never said "it's more dangerous." He said it's more taxing; that it comes at a cost. He's using that cost as an excuse; he has a history of poor heat acclimation and it has been getting worse over the last few years as he has moved to more and more indoor training. This was a major issue for him last Kona, and will be an even bigger issue this Kona if he does nothing to address it. Also, training in heat is not dangerous for athletes at this level. It is dangerous for average to below average athletes as they don't know what they're doing and typically have very poor heat acclimation, both factors making them very prone to heat stroke.

[@RKa-zh4zz]

@@rylanrussell9595 Where did I mention dangerous? I said it is more damaging then helping. Training for longer than an hour in very high heat (over 40 degrees celcius) is not helping you adapt better to the heat, that is why he is finishing inside..

[@TheBoyaaah]

My lord, 3:43 per km at km 36, what a monster

[@miguelpfeffermann]

Too much carbs or in a suboptimal way? Combining glucose and fructose with the right balance (->different ways of uptake from the body), putting the right amount of carbs per liter in the bottle, and a good balance between solid and liquid carbs and probably even more are all things to optimize for race nutrition. Just asking because we all want Lionel at his best! Of course it doesn’t matter if your stomach shuts down. But it helps preventing it, while consuming more carbs. And more carbs = more power (if you’re able to digest them).

[@JohannesHezer]

I would say the exact opposite. If you puke the body is sending a clear signal, this is poison out with it. The more I look at endurance sports I wonder if sports science got it all wrong and with Tim Noakes, there is at least one who will tell a totally different story then „high endurance performance only works with carbs“. Just to name a few Anne Haug needed to switch her nutrition, we never were designed to with stand so much carbs . Would be so cool to see more research on fat based high performance endurance sports. Not to say to fully cut carbs the central governor needs to have a steady stream…
