Training Day with Triathlete SAM LONG

[@alexbalt2482]

It’s awesome to see you and Lara so happy together. You guys seem like a perfect match

[@SamYoYoYoLong]

I am very very lucky to be her man!

[@nathanmclain9027]

Content levels up with Kenny for sure. Nice work guys.

[@SamYoYoYoLong]

@@nathanmclain9027 thanks! It took us a few years but we got the band back together!!

[@stefanhofmeister9220]

This is the realest perspective pro vlog videos that I have ever seen! The vunerability and honestly over how you shared the athletic challenges that you face is so, so cool, Sam! Such an inspiration! That top step in Dubai has your name on it! 💪🏽 And the family updates are awesome!

[@lucneree2270]

We need more of that dancing content once you close out the season in Dubai with your best T100 race yet.- You get to do this, Sam! Yo, Yo, Yo takes over Dubai.

[@SamYoYoYoLong]

@@lucneree2270 we are practicing for our first dance at the wedding!

[@ForevaAndAlways]

It's yours for the taking! You got this!

[@maxidlab]

High quality video nice nice nice! And great perspective on your mindset.

[@JJ01010J]

I feel like you’re going have a great day. Very excited to watch the race. Enjoy!

[@donaldlamarche9886]

Good luck in Dubai. You can never predict and should never expect to finish in a certain position for a race. You don't know what others will do. You can only control what you do. If you push to your limits, that's all you can ask for. Go get them in Dubai. I'm rooting for you.

[@SamYoYoYoLong]

@@donaldlamarche9886 yes exactly!! I’ll do my best and wherever it puts me it puts me!

[@GuillaumeSeguin15]

Amazing video, your best so far

[@RileyKerr-d3h]

Sam Long I watch all the t100 and your the reason why I’m nearly in states because I watched you and decided to do triathlons and I have states next week

[@SvataD]

We are going to watch race in Dubai and support! Wish you all the best!

[@williamward7801]

Sam's 2024 schedule is intense! As an age grouper you train months for one 70.3 and think that's a big deal. Puts his world and race schedule in perspective for sure.

[@lizzobeach5179]

The swim looks good. Stretched out and smooth. Keep it up!

[@SamYoYoYoLong]

@@lizzobeach5179 let’s gooo

[@lizzobeach5179]

And FYI I wrote that about :40 into watching. I was compelled because you look SO different. That triathlete stroke is being pushed out by the swimmer inside. (Former D1 here) Get in a bunch of garbage yards over the winter and then start to blend in some faster stuff with the same stroke and boom. 💥 🎉

[@Amanda_K_001]

I found the time change flip is easier than the Europe change. Race well and rest up! You are a champ.... let's see more Training Peaks!

[@Jdwmaguire]

Safe travels and best of luck Sam!!!

[@trigirl379]

Good Luck!!!!❤❤❤

[@RJLOVE123]

Good for you, Sam you deserve all the best! Be careful listening to Lionel. When he suggested that you do Iron Man Australia didn’t seem like he had your best intentions. wrap up the year roll into next, keep developing.

[@tobijung182]

I love Kenny Videos . Thank Both of you.

[@willbilson7210]

Go Sammy Go . Love to see you kick ass and race man

[@aldodesantanajr3456]

Good luck Sam,you gonna crush it yo yo yo

[@_J.F_]

I will be cheering for you Sam and hope to see you on the top of the podium in Dubai. All it takes is a good day where everything comes together for you and I hope that this will be that day.

[@SamYoYoYoLong]

Exactly!

[@Stuart-d9l]

Yo yo yo! Good to see you getting that swim practice in.

[@mohammedalkaabi2973]

Welcome to Dubai , hopefully u like it. My advice for the jet lag being someone that travels a lot between Dubai and the USA is try to not sleep in the plane if u are arriving at night to Dubai so u sleep when u get here . And good luck and hopefully u enjoy Dubai

[@SamYoYoYoLong]

@@mohammedalkaabi2973 I did this but still didn’t sleep much. Plan is to stay up all day today and then should be good!

[@CarloS-dc9zm]

you got it man!

[@Enthusiast_Plus]

Bike looks effortless

[@matthickman3417]

Well done Sam - I’m pretty certain everyone is tired at the moment - last stretch and seeing the fun and joy will defo help you. Are you racing 70.3 worlds in Taupo? Fab video and content - overall as an athlete myself I want to see you and the other athletes happy and content. Often the point of racing is meeting the challenge you put to yourself and the positioning will be where it is. Fab travels - hope you get to fly business!

[@SamYoYoYoLong]

@@matthickman3417 this will be my last race of the season! Glad you enjoyed the video

Have a great race Sam

[@jenniferhamlet4838]

Good luck Sam!

[@ironman140.6]

Is there a T100 FOR DANCING, You would come first! Gotta say you are looking sharp, man - I predict a win or second place here - you will be right up there in the swim is my gut feeling. Do you share that thought as well? I watch all your videos and will subscribe today. I was waiting to make sure you guys get married before hitting the button I see it is a reality now!!! Best in Dubai and best to Laura!

[@maximegenionperron1356]

Great content.

[@dsd6538]

Its a heat race, so hopefully will suit you very well

[@ucfnathan]

catch and elbow position looks a lot better!

[@maximegenionperron1356]

LFG Sam!

[@frankgallagher5786]

Im totally unqualified to comment on Sams stroke technique. it looks really good and i was wondering if there are any observations out there that could explain his so called weak swim.

[@matthiross]

His right hand recovery is too short. Much shorter then left side. Especially important when he breathes on left side.

[@SpencerClayton]

What sunglasses are you wearing at the end? Dope AF.

[@kinseybruno5920]

You guys seem like an amazing couple. That being said very awkward dancers 😂😂😂😂

[@troycollett8540]

Due to work etc I load my workouts into training peaks straight from my Garmin after I have done them

[@hankmoody2040]

Go go go, yo yo yo!

[@Mysiamesecatblue]

Thoughts on higher distance with low elevation or medium distance and more elevation gain .. for endurance and working towards riding strength

Kind of hard to focus on the beautiful bike and aero position when the rear light is mountet like it is 😀👻

[@Sonic0988]

Thank you

[@3853981]

Do you swim in a “ heated “ pool for any specific training purposes? Thanks.

[@SamYoYoYoLong]

@@3853981 no not really, the city determines the temperature. Without heating it it would be really cold now this time of year

[@damu6678]

Do you sell that kit with the skull?

[@End_Illegal_Apartheid_israhell]

Dubai !

[@marcelocastrolapocha]

I remember your video from last year, your stroke looks better but there is still room for improvement. Being a tall guy your stroke can be more efficient and benefit for those extra inches. Your stroke is more suited for shorter distances, like pool swimming, than for open water/distance/triathlon. You should be able to stretch that stroke on the front and hold it for 1/2 a second before starting the pull. The thing is, you are so strong that you cover those deficiencies with willpower. 20 minutes for a 1500 is good, but don't forget that Javier Gomez Noya swam a 15;56 on his peak. I would probably work on side kicking, balance, front quadrant stroke, stroke rate/time and keeping the rate on long swims.

[@SamYoYoYoLong]

@@marcelocastrolapocha yes I agree! Therefore it makes sense I am currently losing 4’ to the front as most of these guys I think swim similar. We will make gains this off season

@ I meant the sweatshirt when you’re sitting at the table, sorry 🫣😂

[@melissavanbalen4527]

I love you Sam , but please please please get a swim coach go to ASU & beg Herbie Behm and Dave Salo to coach you do a 12 week camp with them let them fix your stroke and you'll never be the last man out of the water

[@TriathlonAnt]

Sam you look like Gary Hall Jr when you have you cap and goggles on. The stroke looks better. If you can relax your non-breathing arm a bit to mimic your other side you'll be cruisin.

[@SamYoYoYoLong]

@@TriathlonAnt good tip! For now using lots of energy to get it in the right place.

Hey Sam, Can you give the T-100 people a heads up, their TV commentators and live athlete tracking are awful. Can they atleast get someone interesting, like Sebastian Kielne. Great comeback in Vegas btw. My vote for athlete of the day!
