Like Jimmy White in snooker playing with Stephen Hendry and Steve Davies and a host of others. Always the fans favourite but always falling at the last hurdle 😭
I feel Kristian, Gustav, and Jan have all changed triathlon on the course, but Lionel has changed it off the course. He's pulled back the veil behind the scenes of a day to day pro triathlete and really has made the marketability of a triathlete exponentially better. All the other pros with RUclips channels are because of him. Maybe he won't leave his mark as a world champion but he definitely has left his mark and legacy in other ways
And in the races where he is in the mix, he has an uncanny ability to consistently finish the races in dramatic style. I don't think he is the greatest triathlete in the world compared to the competition, but I 100% believe him to be the greatest 'racer'.
Lionel is the reason why I’ve enjoyed Triathlon as much as I have. He has a whole hearted perspective that is generous, honest, kind and inspirational ❤
Thanks for inspiring us All Lionel , Keep pushing keep up the good work, so fun to watch, and though there’s ups and downs, you’ve given so much More to cheer for. . Keep Rollin
Yeah that HR is insane. Seeing the difference between elite athletes vs mere mortals is so humbling. I saw world class marathon runners run 6minute miles at 120hr. Like speed walking for normal people.
You are making a lot of sense here! Your swim is what it is, you've put an enormous amount of work into the swim. Train your strengths, at this point I feel as though the run is best chance of making significant improvement in your performance rather than working overtime for marginal gains in the swim.
it's really nice seeing your run power numbers. my run threshold is about 300w, but as I'm fat, that equates to a 5:45/km pace. it's very motivational that if I could increase my power by 20% and reduce my weight by 20%, the speed increase is substantial!! thank you for sharing your data :)
I doubt Lionel will win a world title but to me it makes no difference - he has succeeded in making triathlon entertaining to watch, follow, and participate in and his races and media postings are endlessly inspiring and motivating. I hope he keeps it up for another five years at least.
From 9:11 to 14:45 with captioning on the screen was just a breath of fresh air, had to turn off the auto captioning! Was hoping to watch the whole thing through with it like that but disappeared, what’s the reason behind it? Appreciate the effort in captioning the video. Looking forward seeing what LS got in the bag for the future races, always my triathlete to watch no matter what 🤙🏻
Lionel tell it like it is. Mystery Pro is just adding fuel ⛽️ to the fire 🔥. Best person to lay it all & I mean all on the line is Lionel. Love the honesty & frankness. But when you pull the tiger 🐅 tail be sure not to let go as it tends to bite
“If that’s your self worth….” In reference to winning….that’s exactly why people are out there doping. They will do anything to win. It’s not about pushing yourself, it’s not about exceeding what you thought was your limit. It’s only about getting that one spot on the podium and that’s what defines them. Even if no one ever finds out they doped *they* will always know and that’s why they continue doing it. Because it’s never enough.
Hope you figure out your swim soon.....would love to see how the field deals with a complete Lionel Your bike and run combo is great....added with that anger and motivation ....it would be a proper battle
No doubt, as long as the fastest swimmers are also amongst the fastest on the bike and the run then life is going to be unreasonably hard if you are not amongst the fastest swimmers. I can only think of one triathlete capable of eating into himself and against the odds catching up with the front and that is Lionel Sanders but I'm sure it must be getting harder and harder each year too.
Love the power / pace / HR gauge on the screen. Insanely low HR for that power / effort / pace. No idea of your LT HR or max though. Probably around LT1 based on lactate and around HM pace??
It seems like we all have the same attitude about St George last year not being the real world championship. Can we all agree that Nice France will have the same feel as St George and Gustav will be World Champ until October 2024
Trevor Foley is mad about being “mediocre” and finishing in the top 10 at O-Side… give me a break, dudes been a pro for like 5 minutes. A nearly unheard of pro finishing in the top 10 at this past race is sick, you should be humbled and grateful.
Lionel seems to 'discover' knowledge that has been available for, what, a decade? Allen, Scott, Van Lierde, Reid, going back 20 to 30 years front pack swimming has been necessary other than in an occasional race. So when is he going to 'fix the swim'? Regarding training, nothing is new since a paperback book on nordic racing published about 40 years ago.
Lionel... an honest question - if you say your swim is not up to par with the best what are doing about it. Where is the World Title going to come from? I have a pic of you from Indian Wells on my wall for motivation. How is Dad Lionel doing?

Doesn’t matter if Lionel ever wins a world title. He will always be my favorite triathlete.
I totally agree with you
10x - this dude could have won nothing and I’d still view him as a decorated champion. The guys an animal!!!
Completely agree. He seems truly genuine no matter who he's talking to or if there is a camera in his face.
Like Jimmy White in snooker playing with Stephen Hendry and Steve Davies and a host of others. Always the fans favourite but always falling at the last hurdle 😭
Amen.

He is Michael Jordan (until 2022) and Conor McGregor (2023 onwards) of triathlon.
And in the races where he is in the mix, he has an uncanny ability to consistently finish the races in dramatic style. I don't think he is the greatest triathlete in the world compared to the competition, but I 100% believe him to be the greatest 'racer'.
@@coztebebude696 Honestly terrible comparisons. Literally nothing like the piece of shit that McGregor is, nor was he absolutely dominant like Jordan.
Lionel is the reason why I’ve enjoyed Triathlon as much as I have. He has a whole hearted perspective that is generous, honest, kind and inspirational ❤
I feel the editing, the music, the mood of the video leveled up on this one. Great job!
NO LIMITS!
Very refreshing words Lionel. You’re self aware and humble. You get it. We appreciate it!
The highs and lows of training!!! Love it Lionel - great to see you back on track! 👍💪👌
Your enthusiasm about being able to train hard again is inspiring. Thank you for showing us along, Lionel.
Love that Lionel is just a man, who is doing as much as possible to be on high level! It’s just so human 👍🏻 certainly #1 in hearts!!
Thanks for inspiring us All Lionel , Keep pushing keep up the good work, so fun to watch, and though there’s ups and downs, you’ve given so much More to cheer for. . Keep Rollin
I can't believe he's running this speed at this heart rate. I'm so jealous. I wonder if I'll ever get even close to this.
He has a naturally low HR, he doesn’t have a high top end, there are pros and cons to both.
Yeah that HR is insane. Seeing the difference between elite athletes vs mere mortals is so humbling. I saw world class marathon runners run 6minute miles at 120hr. Like speed walking for normal people.
This video wins the "Establishing shot for a training day" award for 2023. Nice!
Love the power tracker and heart rate monitor , makes you realize how fit Lionel is
No kidding. I see his heart rate in comparison to his pace and I’m in awe.
You are making a lot of sense here! Your swim is what it is, you've put an enormous amount of work into the swim. Train your strengths, at this point I feel as though the run is best chance of making significant improvement in your performance rather than working overtime for marginal gains in the swim.
no limit.....great motivation you give us and me Lionel Sanders...
aaaaaaand that is why we love Lionel!!!!! just brilliant!!
Having the pace, power and hr on the screen was really cool, hopefully can keep it up
Best! Always authentic! Honest! Real! Love it!! Thanks!! Question - Any strength/resistance training in the mix? thoughts?
Attitude conquers all, fear doesn’t exist anywhere except in your mind! 😂 Nice work LS, gents and Talbot!
Lionel don't be hard on yourself man, your a legend of the sport 👍

Best pro ever, hands down. Win or lose, mans the best!
Lionel. You caught me today with your channel. I don't know you but you're a guy I can look up to and relate to at the same time.
Trevor is gonna be an animal. Great bud!
Both funny and serious moments captured here--thanks for sharing.
Good vibe, like the tune
Best video in ages….Boom
I would love more videos and more often!😊
Let’s go baby
Glad your feeling better but you & Talbit today reminded me of listening to Bert & Ernie on Sesame Street, lol...keep up the good work.

Best ending if any RUclips ever! Lol
Good call on the antibiotics. They won't kill a viral infection.
Good workout, good music, good video 👍
The Lion is back 🇨🇦
Man it's great to see funny Lionel back. If only we could get a tooth knocked out.
🐯🐯🐯
Eye of the Tiger!!!
When Lionel gets his language right (how he talks about things), he be a more consistent winner.
Love it 😂🎉
Best ending of a video 😂
Good job Lionel
I think Lionel is the mistery pro. 😊😊😊
Looking Good Bro.

Great video

his watch is taped to his wrist!

Let’s f go!!! 🔥
You are going to win that title champ! F what they say
Yeah Lionel
🐐
Legend
this is a brutal sport
Coincidentally, the song during the interval run is called “Endless Loops” - Ooyy 😆
Lets GOOOO
Hope you figure out your swim soon.....would love to see how the field deals with a complete Lionel
Your bike and run combo is great....added with that anger and motivation ....it would be a proper battle
Is Lionel for Real about Texas. I'm going to be racing my first Ironman and that would be crazy awesome if my hero is there Racing 2🎉 No Limits
Would Lionel ever have a discussion about his post-retirement plans? Would be interesting, even though he is still years away
Lionel, I use Olive Leaf Extract as an alternative antiviral. You can get it in flavours and just take it as recommended.
No doubt, as long as the fastest swimmers are also amongst the fastest on the bike and the run then life is going to be unreasonably hard if you are not amongst the fastest swimmers. I can only think of one triathlete capable of eating into himself and against the odds catching up with the front and that is Lionel Sanders but I'm sure it must be getting harder and harder each year too.
Sam long thought. He's heavy which is advantageous on flat courses
Love the video. For the love of god though can we please get metric metrics? Distance in kilometres and min/km for pace?
Cam Wurf is the Mystery Pro. 🤣
Love the power / pace / HR gauge on the screen. Insanely low HR for that power / effort / pace. No idea of your LT HR or max though. Probably around LT1 based on lactate and around HM pace??
I think you need to try the galloping swim technique. You’ll get far better reach.
Is Lionel self coaching now? Great video!
Antibiotics makes you swear more 😂 and that’s brilliant ❤️😂
Fun video guys, keep workin!
Yesterday, my tubby butt ran a 930 at 170bpm....ouch. I guess no where to go but up.
Lionel give yourself some more credit, you are top 5
Ps great music Talbot!
That's a hell of a trainnig crew and attitude 🙌🦾.
F@&$k everyone 😂😂

Can’t believe their pacing, it’s unreal. I can run a mile in about 5:30 and only do it once. Unreal how they can push the pace they do multiple times.
What software do you use for that graph at 8:03?
It seems like we all have the same attitude about St George last year not being the real world championship. Can we all agree that Nice France will have the same feel as St George and Gustav will be World Champ until October 2024

@@turnerburger oops, I think you are correct. That’s also what google is saying. I went just by my hazy memory.
What did Lionel think of the womens race and Jewetts run?
What a fucking man
What are those glasses he is wearing in the car and on the run?
Swim is the cryptp
Lionel go train with Jewitt’s swim coach!!!
Running that fast at 130 bpm - what's resting heart rate for champions ? 35 bpm
What’s the fresh(i) song during running??
Why is Lionel so much more jacked than all the other tri athletes?
What shoe Lionel ia using in the main training of the vídeo?

@@Simo.PT. thanks!!
Do't know about the wind, but it seems pretty flat to me ?!?
Just curious which power meter you use for the running and if it's actually accurate? Thanks for the vids brother
Could you guys toss in KMs and Min/km conversions in there on the stats?
Wish I was fast enough to train with Lionel
What is Lionel using to measure power while running?
Just guessing but probably Stryd.

Who's the dude in the red shirt?
An incredible athlete like you should find the technical help to run with a better form. You would be unstoppable

He is working on it don't worry about that.
Does Lionel have a coach or is he self coaching again?
He's back to no coach again as he lost patience with scientific training. But at least he seems happy.
@@errgo2713 Thanks for the info.
I expect that he has a swim coach. I wonder if there will be any videos on progress in swimming. It'd be fine if he kept that a secret and a big surprise.
