- Who is more awesome than Lionel Sanders? i have been interviewing this amazing young man for nearly a decade and I learn something in every interview. He is tough, honest and as dedicated to our sport than anyone on the planet. Lionel is so special and I can’t wait to watch him race in Kona!! @Lionel.Sanders
Never wanted anything more than for Lionel to win Kona
Agree, he deserves that and if we think about, last athlete from américa to win, Peter reid from Canadá
Bob easiest interview ever as did not have to say much - I hope he has the day of his life ! -he deserves it !!
Lionel's passion for the sport and this race is evident here, he seems ready. Its like he just had 10 coffee's, buzzing.
Such a likable guy. Really rooting for him to having a great showing. Keep inspiring Lionel!
You've got to love Lionel, intensity oozes out of every pore, yet his biggest battle seems to be with himself. So damm impressive.
It's fun watching Lionel figure this sport and life out. Always rooting for him!
Lionel is so fun and transparent. Great interview, Bob. I like the genuine, friendly interchange between the two of you.
Thank you
Lionel is going to transition to one of the best triathlon coaches of all time. Can’t wait to see this
So much wasted potential I so hope he has a great day Would love to see him on the podium. On a unrelated note, my son when he was 13 and I met him at a race, it was the Collins cup. He had just come in from a ride the day before the event he was sweaty tired and spent like 10 minutes talking with my son who absolutely adores him. It was really great and Lionel was gracious and kind and engaged.
We all need Lionel win in Kona so bad
Love the raw honesty Lionel always gives about himself. A true legend in the sport and seriously hope he gets the result in Kona that he deserves.
Lionel is such a genuine person. His drive is such an inspiration for me.
This guy is pure heart. Love it.
Wow Bob. I could listen to this for days on end. Not hours but days.. Love it
Thank you for this
Thanks!
"KB wasn't built in a day" 😂😂😂😂 made my decade❤
This should be the next t-shirt
Great interview. I am so impressed on amounts raised by CAF. Fantastic efforts for an important subject
Thank you
Quote: "I'm me... It's taken me over a decade to get to that point - and to not care." If you are a Lionel fan - this is a must see - you will got all the answers to his great character here. One of the very best interviews of Lionel ever. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you
stellar interciew!!
I wish both to have a fantastic time in Kona and Lionel also an amazing Race !!
Enjoyed these interviews very much. Is all fun and games. thanks bob
Fantastic interview! Best duo ever! So much energy and chemistry 🎉
The fact that Lionel seems to having FUN is a very good indicator to me. I am thinking he's top 5 but would of course love to see him top 3!
Love LS! Last of the “Oldschool Guys” out there.
If you ask me in person, would love to see him win there but it seems to me that he is always on the run to find his special force by watching other guys! Hope that he is now convinced that he might listen to himself!
Crossing fingers for him….he's now the Dark Horse!
We really need Lionel on “The Triathlon Hour”. Most overdue podcast of all time.
Lionel finishing his career as Ironman World Champion would be incredible
Brilliant Brilliant! Thanks Bob 😃
Great interview ... thanks!
Great interview!
Thanks
Just when you thought Bob couldn't go any harder he comes out with the Kona PRE-Show! Rotator cuff surgery next Tuesday, and Breakfast with Bob for the rest of the week baby!
Hope surgery and recovering goes well. Enjoy the shows.
good interview, go Lionel!
Both Host and Guest - thank you for a masterpiece of intervievs 👌
I like Lionel, so cool and real, no censoring. I don’t know how I am going to react if I see a shark 🦈, not more move or ignoring or scared. I am sure but it is amazing to live something like this if all ended well. Good luck LS , I hope you receive from big Island the 👑
Trevor Foley asked Lionel to coach him but Lionel said he couldn't focus on both being an athlete and coaching one.
The lion of Triathlon time to Rock & Roll
Lionel is the best!!
2017 was awesome. All of the current Lionel fanboys would have loved it.
Shout out to Lionel and all Canadians at this years race with a special one to Bob Knuckey who's going to set the record for mens 75-79....Go Bob!!
Bob is a legend!
Great interview with Lionel! I'm looking forward to seeing him perform in Kona. By the way, "One One" is how one is pronounced in Spanish.
Cracking 5th place will be the best result for LS in KB's (the GOAT) generation. The game has changed. Lionel's camp only talks about KB's training as a result. They never talk about MA or Jan's training. LS coming off the bike in 8th - 10th place then running up to 5th-ish. This would be a dream scenario.
As Lionel says himself there is every chance that he will have changed his mind about training completely by tomorrow, but as for today he has absolutely no doubts 🤣
This is the t-shirt I actually want
Undoubtedly
Woo. Just threw Jan under the bus is pretty buff!!!
Lionel sound more mature by far!! nice mentality
it's a monologue, no interview haha
Love Lionel and would love to see him win. But fear without a coach he’ll arrive over trained again.
Don’t keep mentioning you trained with Colin Chartier though 🤦♂️
Then there’s Lange… and he wins Kona… always a chance!
He’s gonna make more money as a coach than as an athlete.
I wish the question “do you believe you have a chance to win?” would’ve been asked.
Lionel will have a good race. I reckon finishing around 10th. That's not bad. He will be nowhere near top 3, but who knows, maybe next year with the path that he is now on?
No. They no how to prepare for a race and not overtrain, and come to the race and get the most they have.
Thank GOD he's finally figured out what actually works. Just ITT these races and quit jacking around with wacky training and reactive racing. If you're a top pro, you're already so good that just racing at the reasonable limit of what your metrics say you should will get you to top 10. And then halfway through the run, THEN decide if you want to go nuts and try to run people down or play games with others. Let others blow up from overreaching and pass them by. Now let's see if he actually does it on race day.
He has had good coaches. He’s just a bad student
Well, actually, it looks like he was following his coaches, however it seems he didn't provide the necessary feedback to adjust the training. I would call him a bad student, maybe a bad communicator or immature 🤔

I’m likely the biggest fan of Lionel But An individual Time Trial at Kona will not work. I hope I’m wrong. I hope it’s all smoke and mirrors but he needs to rip the bike to get to the front no option. You can’t give 4-5’ to either Magnus, Ladlow, or the Norwegian Train on the run. He just needs a swim and come out with bike fire power like 17 with Wurf, Skipper and a few others.
It’s not going to work these days. There is too much firepower on the bike within the first two swim bunches for guys like Sanders - and even Wurf and Chavalier - to bridge up if they come out of the water 4-5 minutes down. Last year in Nice Wurf had a great bike bike - but he was solo the whole 180km - and he couldn’t bridge up to Ditlev (he nearly did but stacked it on the final decent), and guy like Laidlow gets the benefit of the lead motorbike and media vehicles as well IF he goes off the front as he has done for the last three IM WCs.
The only chance that the ‘plus 4 to 5 minute’ swim bunch guys have is if the likes of Kallin and Rasmus Svenningson go on a suicide mission and they can hold on and bridge up BUT still not go above a NP of around 320 watts until they connect with the Ditlev-Laidlow etc bunch BEFORE Hawi. That being said, Wurf might have a chance, as he is probably a 50-50 chance of making the second swim group and getting out of the water only 90 seconds down, and alongside other strong bike riders like Ditlev and Hogenhaug.

Well said couldn’t agree more. Foley had a you tube video awhile back and basically said the only way is to smash yourself on the bike but that’s the cost you have to in order to bridge.
Pffff. Lionel is really quite hyper.
The dude is lit up. It’s awesome.
Stop obsessing about what Kristian Blue is doing with his training. You keep saying that everyone is unique but you keep stalking KBlu’s workouts. Then he shows up and you jump on his 1k interval run and risk overcooking yourself.
You should be his coach
all the info has been out since 60s? but training individualism ....
