Lionel my 13 yr old triathlete son and I met you at the Collins Cup. It was the day before the race, you just came in from a ride, and although clearly wanting to get back to the room you were kind, engaging and generous with your time and he was so thrilled. He looks up to you and it was great and seeing you and Sam the next day go to the wire was awesome. Go gettem in Kona!!!
“Just show up on race day and there’s nothing to fear “ Goosebumps!!!
Respect to Mikal stepping in and coaching a guy as stubborn in his training ways as Lionel is
Surprised he’s still with him to be honest.
@@zwtvchannel you think Mikal would quite or LS would fire him?
@@utuber221
lionel fire
@@utuber221 LS would fire him because he thinks he knows best given his history of booting coaches left, right n centre.
@jhdg I don't think that's the case. This new coach has a lot of patience because "I'm always right" is hard-wired into Lionel's brain. But the swimming proves he needs a coach. And if he needs it bad enough fear of losing will make him stay. But yea, coach has to be a patient man.
I love how Mikal gets to the heart of the matter in a nutshell: work out what went wrong/right before, take solace in the fact that you have done well in Kona before and trust in your training & turn up to race on race day. The end.
Did anybody else catch when Talbot asked him is he prepping for Kona or Dallas, Iden said "Kona next year" sounds like he really believes in Lionel if he continues working like he is with him to really contend next year.
Performance tips LS should use to shave minutes off next IM based on what I see in this vid.
1. Ride rim brakes. They are way more aero as less spokes and the braking surface is molded into the rim instead of a pizza cutter that catches the wind at ALL angles. Faster wheel changes and no rubbing rotors! No travel dramas. Rim brake is also lighter. Lighter bikes are like women with small waists...just inspires you to you grip it and rip it.
2. Cooler is faster - wear a visor instead of a full cap. White to reflect. Visor lets your head heat rise vs insulate in the cap material.
3. Cushion for the push'n - Alphafly is the best shoe for the IM. The max cush and carbon plate let you carry the most speed with the least fatigue metabolites. Chose a light colo and for less race day heat retention.
4. Bike set up...not sure why his seat is so high. Lower seat means more aero and better breathing. Move cleats right back to activate the bigger muscles more. Midfoot cleat is worth the deep dive. Relying on the weakest muscle in the leg aka calves isnt a good idea for the IM athlete who just has to hold 300w for hours. Pedal with the heel down vs up. Ever tried to stomp a can? Use your ball of foot or midfoot? Exactly...How about putting a shovel into hard ground? Midfoot = more power and or sustained power with less fatigue metabolites.
5. Strip show - Run a 2 piece outfit vs 1 piece. Showing some belly skin will help you stay cooler vs trapping in belly heat with a onsie.
Serious question: would they be allowed to run in a full sized straw hat? Allows lots of airflow and blocks sun
These videos are great. When I’m riding, I visualize myself riding this fast. Then the Garmin says the truth.
You aren’t alone
i will burn my Garmin one day! 😭😭😭 tooo honest to me😟
Please listen to your coach and relax. You have to stop overthinking and have confidence in yourself. We all support you!!!
Or chill off the ego a smidge. Love Lionel but he doesn’t know everything about training. He knows his body but that’s not even close enough to beat guys that have years of science-based and intuitive training under their belt
Hell of a finishing statement there Mikal!! Love it!
Yes. And shows the true value of a coach, and what LS (and all of us) need to absorb, not just a schedule.
I love this. Listening to Lionel's mind is like drugs. Thanks for these amazing insights.
Great coaching words. Lionel kept throwing blockers at him, but the good coach said all the right things, and knocking those blockers out of the park.
You can only do your best Lionel. Nothing more, nothing less. You've proven you can do it. So do it again. Onwards and Upwards 💪🏽❗❗
Lionel you've done so much for the sport! You're charismatic, kind and an inspiration!
This past weekend, I became a first time triathlete at 44 years old! I plan to race one every year until I reach my ultimate goal of completing a full Ironman one day!
I watch all your videos! Keep up the great performances and content! Always rooting for you for every race, especially Kona!
Living the dream!
Most people, when asked what their perfect life would be, fantasize about being rich and famous, I (and I’m sure many people here) however, would trade all that for what Lionel has done. To be able to dedicate yourself entirely to this sport and make a living while doing it, absolutely incredible.
Keep up the good work Lionel!
My 7 year old, who trains with me, loves watching your content, he hopes, one day, he will be able to race in Kona.
thats why you need a coach. lionel is rambling about fear and stats and bla bla bla and coach instills with him the confidence that he is doing well in training, just show up on race day and execute, love it.
Lionel’s physiological response to heat training is similar to others response to altitude training. Altitude really didn’t do anything for him….no surprise there….dude has never trained at altitude yet hangs with and beats those who have. Lionel is by far the most interesting athlete to follow….never a dull moment ever.
lionel will get it all together one of these prominent races and it will be all over for the favorites. Hes a beast
Very much looking forward to 23’ season of Baby Lion and the van escapades.
Lionel, get out of your head. Let Coach Mikal do the worrying and planning. Dont let the doubts take over your thoughts. Visualize winning in the heat & humidity. You got this man!!!!!!!!!
If you want to race with no limits, you first have to train without fear. I think that's Mikal's message at the end of the video.
Nearly lost the drone to the wire! Coach could barely get a encouraging word in with him talking non-stop. But he did in the end. Way ahead to 2017. Have a great one!
is that Collin? great to see Lionel with training partner and a coach in person not just online.
Believe in yourself and your coach
I'm not an elite athlete like these guys, but I do enjoy taking the bike out on really hot days. I went for 60 minutes when it was 106 outside with the goal of staying in zones 2 and 3. Zone 2 wasn't bad at all, but a few climbs where I seemed to rocket past zone 3 was eye opening. The heat took over! It started with dizziness and rapid heart rate so I sensibly pulled into a shady spot and rested. Clearly training in extreme heat is a totally different animal.
Florida has the humidity!! Good luck at Dallas and Kona Lionel!
Thanks for being so open!
great content - just real conversations, no bs, love it
Lionel, usually if you get your sodium loss tested, it’s measured in mg/L. So if you lose 1300mg or 1.3g/L and sweat 3L/hr your body needs 3600mg/hr. The difference between replacing 1L per hour with 1300mg Na x5 hours and replacing 3L of water per hour with 3600mg sodium is a deficit of 10L of fluid (22 pounds) and 13,000mg or 13g of Na.
Nice of Mikal to calm Lionels nerves
Lionel you are ready. You have all the training, all the mental toughness, all the nutrition and experience. Your swim will put you down 4 or 5 minutes. Your bike will bring you even. Your run is so much better now. The whole field will fear you. Pressure Gustav & Kristian. They are great but you might cause them to cramp and take the win
your videos make me feel like i could run through a brick wall
Good advice from the coach at the end!
good luck Lionel!
The irony about Kona is looking up during the run and seeing tons of clouds in the sky. Not a single one will block the sun...as seen at 2:00
"You already many steps ahead. Just continue to do what you do, and show up on race day, there's nothing to fear." - Mikal Eden
Props to training in the desert heat! Although dry heat is better than the humidity.
Lionel you are already in pretty good shape and look very well prepared mentally and physically for Kona. Now you can focus on tapering to save energy for the race and to have a good solid nutrition plan. I wish you the best race in Kona ever 👍👍👍.
Awesome work as always Talbot! Fun to see Lionel out training with Collin. 🎤 drop at the end by Mikal 🔥. Go get it Lionel 💪🔥💪.
Love it, keep em coming!
So excited for the daily vlogs! Will be routing for you!
Amazing video. Props for being open about the insecurity, I think it's very real.
fear of passing out in the heat while racing/training is real when you have a high tolerance because passing out sneaks up on you. its not without warning, but the high tolerance means you are ignoring the warning signals. I've passed out from dehydration/heat after ignoring the lightheadedness and seeing spots for a long time. I finished my training and got in the car. it was after I switched off from persistence mode to relax mode that I passed out without warning. once this happens, you fear that it will happen again.
You’re going to kill it Lionel!
crazy to look back at these videos and realize collins doping
LMNT is a high sodium drink mix that works great for me! Love your videos keep ‘em coming!
Coach Mikal finally arrived to pat on the back of the big man! Keep up the inspiring work guys
13:05 Yes, humidity is also important to consider. Please prepare in high humidity conditions as well. Other comments have suggested locations similar to Kona.
Lots and lots of ice. Humidity is my kryptonite and the heat is its evil twin. I stuff an instant ice pack down my kit during T1 and load up at every aid station during the run. The heat and now humidity has been brutal this summer in Texas. Heck, I don't even like swimming until the sun starts to go down. Good luck on Sunday; will be cheering ya on from the stands.
I agree about the sun. I live in Las Vegas and for me, running in direct sun is brutal after a while. I’ve ran in 95-100 on the rare cloudy day here and I much prefer it.
Looking this trough whole another lense right now
Reminds me of my running afternoons here in Central Florida. I feel It does make you a better runner though. Best of luck in training.
Awesome video as always! Question for those out there that know nutrition, is it okay to drink Coke post workout when doing as much volume as these guys? Maybe to give them a quick boost before the swim? I am a triathlete myself, training for ironman so I am always curious and trying to nail down nutrition/fuel. Thanks!
the life of an athlete is really something else. such a deep focus on one self. such a self-serving way of life. nevertheless its highly fascinating.
Another great video I was looking forward for this video. He looks a bit thin. Go get them Superman 👊🏾👊🏾
That van 🔥
Awesome vid!
Thanks
shhhhiiiitttt, people can push themselves as far as passing out on the run. that replay was kindda scarry!
THE LION HYPE TRAIN!!!
The King
You should do a camp in north Florida, Humidity is a big factor, Arizona is hot but its still better then Florida AND more importantly KONA, best wishes
There’s an additional way to measure heat training acclimation very closely. It’s similar to blood lactate measurements but instead you have to measure blood plasma levels over the entirety of the heat training phase. The goal is to increase blood plasma levels. But you have to find a pattern because the levels fluctuate with the intensity of training. And u may have to go to a doc to get samples safely and measured accurately
LFG!
That Winnebago gives me Walter White/Breaking Bad vibes in that desert.
Superbe videos 👍🌞
Collin Chartier ran a 31:00 10k about a year ago in a triathlon. Dude is FAST too...
very good video 👍👍
And to see Chartier SMASH PTO Dallas the next week is just incredible. I watched him win, and THEN I watched this, and I'm so impressed with this new guy on the scene. Chartier FTW
Not so much to be impressed by anymore I presume 🥴🥴
My fear is the cold 🥶 my body just shuts down when I’m not warm enough. Never had a good race in cold weather but I love the heat
Lionel, I live in Maui and I have to be smart and pick the best and cooler hours of the day if I don't want to feel like s....... The heat exposure can really hurts!
First like Lionel in Kona
Hey lionel if you want to train for kona humidity, come train in south Mississippi during the summer. 95* during the day at 90%+ humidity in the afternoon. Literally everyday between noon and 6pm is 103-108 “feel” temperature.
Lionel... you fear Nothing 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
whoosh this wire and the drone 😲
I can't wait until Lionel becomes a writer :)))
You do not have fear of heat @Lionel Sanders, you are just Canadian dude! Do not worry you will fly through those lava fields in Kona!
Come train in Charleston, where it’s 94 degrees with 100% humidity.
Dude you are awesome! Are you planning on doing IMFL by chance?
Leggo.
water and carbs. Yes salt helps presevation but not as important as carbs.
training with the norweigans oooo
Still a mental game in the end.. who would have thought 😉
How do you like the Revel? I just got a Solis PX
Wow 200000 for that van!
Using sun screen?
What pool headphones do you use Lionel?
I'd love to se Lionels pre-hab program.
Anyone know the model of waist belt they're using?
Canadian blood, come to N C for some humidity
Líonel deberías entrenar aca en baja California para KONA aqui donde entrenamos nosotros,aquí se entrena a 43 grados o hasta 45 arriba de 100 grados grados.Donde tu entrenas es fresco para nosotros
How tall is Lionel? Did he say he was 160lbs? He swole 💪🏽
Try an ice vest
How is that a transition run with all the fluff between the bike and the actual run?🤷🏻♂️✌️
anyone knows what belt his using to carry the bottle?
training camp in chicago Lionel, lets get it when the baby born?
Is Lionel running with Coros Pace 2? 🙂
lionel is looking lean
The altitude density is not a thing for endurance performance. It doesn’t have an impact on humans exercising. There is no evidence supporting that if the density altitude is 2000m it is equal to being on 2000m pressure (real) altitude.
Density altitude provides you the equivalent of the real pressure. Not sure why you think it would not impact performance. DA is based on the real pressure and the real temperatute at thd time of measurement. Both pressure and temperature affect an athletes physiology.
There's a reason pilots have long used DA, and nowadays especially long distance target shooters use density altitude to get super precise drop calculations. Because it is much more accurate than relying on the ISA predicted pressure at altitude formula which does not take current temperature into account (it just uses a lapse rate figure adjusted off of standard temperature at sea level).
DA gives the real pressure (minus small error for humidity which can still be adjusted for if one wants). Using DA is the same as taking out your Kestrel and measuring the pressure at that given moment. The Kestrel literally uses the measured pressure at that moment to derive the DA calculation.
@@alexjohnson6462 the reason I think its not impacting is because there is no research that shows it has an affect on endurance performance. Or more precisely - it hasn't been investigated. And that seems to be the case because there is no need for it from a physiological standpoint. Once the air enters the lungs it will have a temp of around 37° and humidity of 100%, equalising the outside temp/humidity. Look it up yourself. I have done it for a few hours and couldn't find any evidence suggesting that is has an impact on endurance performance. Just because it has an influence on Airplanes/turbines, doesn't mean it has on the body/physiology.
I think Lionel finally has the right coach. He's a bull
Can't wait for your excuses after The Texas race 😇😇😇
Lionel: "...Its only 95 degrees today. Its not even really that hot..."
Ugg. This reminds me I need to get the heck out of this desert state heckhole called Florida. Been here 12 years now and I have not heat adapted one bit. In fact, this past year I seem to have grown even more heat intolerant. I'm at my wits end.
Training is impossible here except for January and February. Anything over 68 degrees to 70 Fahrenheit is absolutely unsufferable in Florida, never mind 90-plus degrees.
I need to find a nice high altitude town (low 70's daily high temps in August, but a town which also is not snowy for 6 months of the year which would impede outdoor bike riding most of the year). Anyone have any good suggestions where to move to for good year round training?
That being said, Clermont Florida is still the Mecca for triathlon training on the entire east coast. The USA Triathlon National Training Center is here after all. The area definitely needs more triathlon love. The West seems to get all the attention lately.
If you want to train for Kona, you would be better off doing it here than in Tucson or Boulder. That unbearable humidity cannot be replicated in the desert states. Thats what you really need to adapt to even more than the heat.
San Francisco area is as cool as you describe and doesn’t get much snow.
