A great reminder that there's always someone in the world training harder than you are! Another great Vid from Sweat Elite!

As a runner I always thought triathletes were a strange breed..... This confirms it. Absolute machines

I have no idea how they train 3 disciplines. It’s ridiculous

Sam is a machine!!! Absolutely amazing to watch!!!

[@Jono01]

What a machine! Brutal bike workout on the trainer. No Zwift either. Just out of interest, what gel is that?

[@CautionBeforeCoffee]

Powerbar

[@huntermaynard8837]

Looks like a powerbar gel with caffeine

Me: I love ironman Me after seeing Sam bike: yeah nah have fun I'm out

[@murraywanner4767]

I love you showing your training session rather than just a bunch of talking like other triathlon vloggers have started doing. Keep up the good work Sam!

[@bigdahhwg89]

Sheesh. I'm an age grouper. My best event is the swim (1:18 CSS). The mere thought of running a 5:00/mi pace let alone a sub 5... On top of biking around 370 watts?! FML... That is absolutely wild, and beyond impressive. Dude is a super human.

[@huntermaynard8837]

@sweatelite, the only notification I care about ❤

[@siitan83]

impressive to see the ability to talk at that pace

[@fernandomichel9522]

Props to the camera guy for running with the cam at a quick pace

Pro tip: waste basket next to the bike. Makes cleanup lots easier when your legs don’t work.

[@TheGbrown86]

Yo Yo Yosef! You got this brother keep up the grind.

[@garygrouse4611]

Impressive. You seem less ‘hippy’ when you’re running at speed and turning it over.

[@scottreutter]

Not even using Zwift either... savage

[@joshuafoulds8107]

Maybe this is an ignorant question, but is it common to only ride with one ring up front?

[@parkerpowell1602]

Most long distance triathlons are flat bike courses, and if you're a pro you will have no need to go into the small ring anyways during the race.

[@Tethysmeer]

But you also see two rings. Finer granularity of gears and drive train efficiency is better. Penalty is less aero.

[@na-dk9vm]

Can anyone tell me, does biking and swimming compliment running fitness ? And if so,how??

[@JoshNishitani]

Both compliment running fitness since they’re both stimulating the cardiovascular system, however, swimming doesn’t really translate as well to running because it involves a lot more upper body, whereas cycling fitness can crossover (obviously not as good as just running) because it is closer to running utilising the lower body to generate power. Really good cyclists typically have a good aerobic base due to the nature of the sport which translates well to running, however, they lack the specificity

[@na-dk9vm]

@@JoshNishitani thanks. So, I'm a runner, but I have access to a pool and access to a stationary bike.. if I add these into my weekly training, my cardiovascular system would improve and I'd see benefits to my running ??

[@MeatlessNugget]

@@na-dk9vm yes, cross training is a fantastic compliment. if you want to be a better runner focus on that more of the time. But overall switching it up here and there is great for the body

[@JoshNishitani]

@@na-dk9vm If I were to recommend one over the other its whatever one you are more willing to do. Cycling is going to be better than swimming in supporting your running ability. Its a great way to increase overall training volume without the physical load. But be careful with the intensity, I would recommend only doing easy rides, and keep your workouts running specific.

[@williamdavis7118]

Sorta, swimming and biking build your cardio system just as running does but muscles used and impact loads are very different across each platform thus being a good swimmer and biker doesn’t correlate to being a good runner.

[@nauding1035]

Is it genetic that people hold muscle while doing a lot of endurance training? I just seem to melt

[@NLghost010]

yeah, i keep like 90% of the muscle from gym time while i've been doing only running and cycling for 5-6 hrs a week for a year now. Other side of that coin is i'm not very gifted at endurance sports naturally so that sucks. Good luck bro.

[@Ronaldoisboss]

Eat, eat, eat, and of course workout enough to maintain your muscle

[@NLghost010]

Bro the context is a triathlete in the video and he's talking about endurance training. Not about pumping iron in the gym. So eating extra in this context will just make you fat.

[@Ronaldoisboss]

@@NLghost010 it's pretty difficult to eat enough to gain weight while training for a triathalon. If you eat enough you can slowly lose weight, rather than drop it very quickly and lose muscle along with it. It seemed to me this person wanted to know how to maintain muscle mass while training for a triathalon.

[@NLghost010]

@@Ronaldoisboss I think we are both reading too much into the OP comment, so this argument will be pointless without his input. Anyway good luck with training!

[@markgrenier6787]

Hey Sam how you doing you know we love ya... you're the best kid in the world.. but I got to tell ya... no music during workouts!!! because you want your dopaminergic response to be from the pain. You know how to suffer .Now get something out of it. You're already there. you want your feeling good hormones to come from the effort the breath the movement the pounding the pavement the breathing you don't want to cheat yourself out of that pain with music turn the music off bro go hardcore

[@joshpain349]

Frodo uses music.

[@joshpain349]

Plus… if the music does help him get a stronger workout in, more stimulus and more gains.

[@suzannedavdison3809]

Train half music half without. Gotta learn how to focus without it but you also have to keep things fun during some of the grind seshies 🎉.

[@alaefarmestatesllc]

Sadly not natty. Lance said his ftp natty was around 425-450. Lance was a pure cyclist. And arguably the greatest to do it. These guys are approaching lance Armstrong numbers lol

Sup Slow Swim Sam Long, see what caused your BULLYING of Swift Sam Laidlow to dominate Kona 2022, and his only 23. you will never improve upon your swim which will translate to NO Wins at 140.6 Kona ever!! GG!

[@danielmiccolis1033]

Your a dummy… many have won with deficits in the swim. Don’t count out the big unit…. Ever!

[@macjeffer5879]

You can’t “dominate” and come in second, only winners dominate. Kick rocks nerd

I kick boxes of rocks like your boneheaded analysis daily! Mark Allen was second for six years… still the goat in my book… knocking on the podium for 12 effin years… and just barely had his run beaten.. he never dominated the swim. This is before they counted transition times. No need to put out discouragement and nonsense.
