@@miguel__mq I am a 36min 10k and i kind of understand runners, less triathlon. From his running form and from the little videos i watched of him, it looks weird that 80min 4k pace will be an easy chatting pace. His HR might not be high, but i don't believe it will be in the low 60%...
@@Slonimzz Yet again, this is a whole different ball game. Especially when you take into account the huge aerobic base he probably has from swimming and cycling. 300W for 4hrs I think I heard him say once, if you had any idea how hard that is you'd probably think differently. Now I admit it, I can't say for certain that it is easy for him but I can assure you that a 36min 10k does not use the same energy system as an 80min effort hence, which is a lot more aerobic. Furthermore running/cycling/swimming at a high pace doesn't mean you know what you're talking about, otherwise most professional athletes would be sport scientists ;) Anyway this is kind of a pointless discussion as we are both talking about something we don't have enough data about to make an informed judgement and personal experience doesn't account for anything
Thanks Lionel and Talbot. Re: Running coach. What we'd really like to see is a bio-mechanical analysis of what is going on with his right hip and leg and is it connected to his biking issue where one leg seems to splay out to the side and his torso seems to lurch to the right when he pushes down with his right leg. We'd love to get the skinny on all this and if he can clear some of it up maybe those IM runs will be even faster on the big island!! We're all behind him 100%! Thanks
@@ironmantooltime While I am sure Ivan is a genius bike fitter and markers might highlight the abnormality, I think it might take a PT or running coach to pick apart his body structure inefficiencies. Maybe he was born that way and he had the hitch when he was 10 years old? Who knows? ..only LS does. When it comes to winning on the big island, it's bike for show and run for dough. I don't know what the answer is I just want him to find it ASAP. As a fellow Canuck I am behind him 100%. He'll never run like his buddy Correy B or Patrick L but I am sure he can run more efficiently.
Hey Lionel, you were looking for music inspiration here in Belgium we are listening: 1) Polo & Pan 2) Fakear 3) Grand Blanc (Surprise Party) 4) Petit Biscuit 5) Blaze 6) Rone thanks for being inspiring man, cheers
@@SAWY81 I think he'll always have that tendency to do things his way, but the coaches he's working with are people he can absolutely trust as well as the process. Should be an exciting year for us as fans to see what happens!
Hey Lionel, first of all...nice videos! But how important is stretching for you or what's your stretching routine? That would be interesting to know! Greetings from Italy...
It would but unfortunately even more unlikely than Frankfurt. He needs to do an official Ironman to quality for Kona, Roth would be extra. I don’t think he will and should do 2 iron man distances before Hawaii
i really enjoy your videos, keep up the good work! i have noticed that u recall the past year by year and it seems that u always know what happened wrong - i am very excited if u be able to bang on target regarding kona this year. i'll keep my fingers crossed for you even if i am a frodo-fan from germany :P
yuup, last year run 10k with 5:30 pace my HR peaked at 201 beats per minute. Wish i could get under 4:30 pace whole 10k... Its so impressive how fast people are in elite level.
'Training hard a lot' isn't what most evidence shows is the best way these days. The 80/20 polarised approach seems to come out on top mostly. Training camps and such is a different story and are a good way to get a step change in fitness but that volume of intensity isn't sustainable. Eagerly following these blogs and hoping to see a Kona win in 2019! What about S&C? You talk about progress coming from cultivating the upper limits, which S&C for endurance is all about. Do you do any? Would love to see some Strength work in the vlogs. Good luck in 2019!
Sigh... he's gonna be over trained again. His philosophies keep changing. And if you're just repeating other people mantras, you will never believe and revert back to what you know
Lionel- why not join a masters swim program? Or get help from U of A swim team/swim groups. I think Ben Hoffman utilises that and it could be a great in-person aid for you
Lionel, you should definitely start to use the Stryd foot pod (running power meter). It helped me so much to improve my running form significantly as it measures running efficiency metrics and you can see progress over time while working on your form (cadence, leg raise etc.). There are even some podcasts available describing how it’s working and how to train with it. Just a tip from a (obviously) way slower runner than you are :)
Wow Lionel, far be it from me say much. You have more talent and drive than 100 people. That said, as a fellow Canadian, I am going to say this: The only thing that I can imagine you could 'dial in' better for YOU.....is perhaps your taper period. You have such power and speed that what comes to mind is that, possibly, you just are not getting everything at the cellular level perfectly rested and ready for your big races. Now, I just said that to a guy who has done 8 low in Kona. But, somehow that wasn't your best and you are still all over it daily. Keep goin' and remember rest is balancing component of GROWTH.....Onward, Aloha T
Fantastic video Talbot, superb work, and how not with the one and only Lionel Sanders! Awesome collaboration between you guys! In one interview I remember Lionel mentioning he was working with someone based in Florida who knew Lionel from years prior. Is that still on?
Not thinking you respond to many of these but I’m curious if you apply a periodisation principle format to your training? How do you know if you’re peaking at the right time? And are you planning on growing back the trademark stache?
Me trying to go to school and training: wake up 4:50 than run 1 hour, bike to school 15 km than Get school lessons, bike back home eat a bit and than 1,5 hour bike ride. After that school work😶🙃
what about warming, mobility, strength training, nutrition, performance test, blood examination ...... the world's peak is much more professional. take a look at a video of laura Philipp. I like you very much lionel but only hard to train is not enough
I think thats an Airhub, i've seen a couple of cyclists use it. It creates resistance, so even if its flat you're still forced to push. terraindynamics.com.au/airhub
The best coach is your own body & HRM , I have been in the sport since 1985 , zero major injuries ,Lionel zero major injuries . I told him that back in Jan when he was here in Fla that he is strong and keep it simple . Health is #1 then fitness is #1b
Isn't it enough to be a world class triathlete? Why is Kona the validation measure? Let it go, ride a wave. Jump into the surf and play like a dolphin.
No one trains to become a world class triathlete, it means nothing with no results. Kona is the pinnacle of the sport and world championships. To put simply if you think you've made it by being world class you won't stay world class for long!
Just casual doing enjoyable, chatting pace of 4.05 run in the afternoon. If i try to run 4.05 my whole life flash before my eye.
Muhamad Adhitya got work to do then 🤷♂️
No way 80 minutes at 4 min per km is easy pace for him.. might be just an average training but def not an easy run...

Hey Lionel,
first of all...nice videos!
But how important is stretching for you or what's your stretching routine? That would be interesting to know!
Greetings from Italy...
Yes that's very interesting!
I don't think so... injury prevention, recovery, and so one. I think that stretching is a important topic for all of us.
@@philippseebacher8195 foam rolling and pliability is better than stretching
Some ppl dont sneek behind this and that. They dont have a place for BS in their lives, doing whatever it takes.
Salute man
I enjoy Talbot’s hard questions and comments the most 😆
Your videos are amazing. Motivating me to train for my first half marathon
You will do super good in your first half marathon! Good luck!
Love those videos! I would also like to see Lionel talk more about active recovery, his stretching routine, etc.
Thanks Talbot, keep up the great work, and trying different styles, all good!
I watched this video while eating two sugar cookies with nested peanut butter cups in the middle.
MrDamonLeBeouf i think I like you
How did you stop at two?
This will never happen but I want Lionel to come to Frankfurt so bad. Frodeno, Kienle, Lange and Lionel in a Summer race in Germany would be insane.
That would be fun if he did Challenge Roth.
It would but unfortunately even more unlikely than Frankfurt. He needs to do an official Ironman to quality for Kona, Roth would be extra. I don’t think he will and should do 2 iron man distances before Hawaii

What about stretching? Do u have a stretching routine? And do u have strenght days? or only discpline related work (bike swim run)
I wonder the same thing. It seems like he doesn't have a physiotherapist, massage therapist, or anything like that. Unless he doesn't talk about it.
Very inspiring. Great video. Thank you for posting!
Lionel might be a star but ... Talbot is killing it as always!! 💖💖
And TC is great at bringing out his sense of humor.
"Ironman get the fuck out of my way media." I love his sense of humor lol
4:00 - 4:05 min/km is easy pace?!?
Loving these journey stories...
Love the evolved style in these videos. Love a little bit more personality and some of the rough edges.
Lionel! You are a Warrior!
@ 5:28 consistency is the key. Great tip!

Goodbye Speedplay and welcome back Shimano.
Great as ever. Might think about subscribing! ;)
4:00-4:05 per kilometer... enjoyable, chattable type pace... no more questions :D
Do Lionell have som training song list somewhere in the public? 👍😀 Interesting to watch as always 😎
I hope I get to the point where 4:05 is enjoyable chatting pace.
Great job TC!!

Curious why no more speedplay pedals
Are you on speedplays? I started on MTB I can't seem to leave them behind

Just gotta say it. Bit annoyed. What pool does the lane ropes against the lines?! My OCD can't handle it.
One where it can be 25 or 50m. The lines go both ways
It's an amazing pool. I've been there for two camps. You gotta go and experience it.
I know why they do it. Kinda a joke but also I do have a bit of OCD
Master 👌🏽🖤
what front hub is that?!
Airhub
Running form 🤔 is it me of are limping?
I do powder first and THEN water but I’ll switch it up like L does. 😸🙌🏽
Get the F#%k out of the way media! 😂
What was powder in Gatorade bottle in the beginning?
Gatorade Endurance.

ca min 5:50 in the video - 80 min run in 4:00/km pace is too fast ! it is NOT an easy run ! it is almost your race pace
it is an easy pace for runners with marathon PB around 2:05 - 2:10
80/20
