  • From staring at the ceiling in 2009 to living life to its fullest, Canadian triathlete Lionel Sanders is living proof that you can do anything you set your mind to.
    After two tough years at Kona and struggling with heat acclimation, Lionel gives you an inside look at his relocation to Tucson, Arizona. The combination of heat training and structured Zwift workouts has elevated his fitness and hopefully his goal to better his two second-place results at Ironman World Championships. Lionel is all about competition and not only wants to win Kona, but he also wants to beat the best when they are at their fastest.

    “I have a feeling this little guy is going to teach me more than I’ve ever learned before”
    Truest words ever spoken by LS!

    It's nice to see the fun humorous side of Lionel again. The older videos on his channel showed a lot more of this side of him. All the videos over the last year or so have been quite serious.

    We all want Lionel to win Kona ! All age groupers can relate to this guy. I’m racing Kona in 2023 and I’ve already dreamed up myself getting an Ironman PB and Lionel getting the W. 🤞🏼

    Would love if Zwift gave coaches an platform to create training programs with all features enabled such as power, cadence, HR ranges, etc for both cycling and running. Also allowing us to enroll in a running and cycling program at the same time.

    Amazing training sessions! Still think that the real hard sessions need to be done on race simulated conditions to train the muscle groups used in the races. One is example: On an indoor bike trainer the bike is held up and the rider doesn’t have use lateral force to keep balance. And that translates to under trained muscles groups come race day. I’m sure LS knows what he is doing though

    The first 3 weeks are going to make Kona seem easy haha! But you’ll develop dad strength that’s a 10% watt increase

    After watching your young training partner win Dallas PTO I’m thinking you’ll be in the mix with Gustav, & Kristian & a few others on the run at Kona, your experience might just give you the victory

    Why is Lionel's Zwift in German language settings (2:09)? Prank by Sebi or does he want to get to Jans level not only physically, but also mentally? :)
