100% Indoor Training for Ironman 70.3 Mont-Tremblant 

Lionel’s talking like he now has the wisdom and confidence of a multiple Ironman world champion and Olympic gold medalist…wonder where he’s getting that from…?🤔😂 Chapeau Lionel! 💪🏼

Mont-Tremblant isn't too far from Lake Placid, any plans to swing by and check out that course?

Lionel and Paula for the win. Going to be fun to watch. 🙌

Last time Lionel raced Tremblant he flatted out of T1, replaced the wheel and then with 4-5 minutes down to the lead, caught them at the half way point on the big climb back at La Conception and then arrived in T2 with a 2.5 minute lead. Let's go Colonel, time to smash them again.

You are doing everything you said you would do this year (high volume swim, wind tunnel, four races and Kona). Sticking to the plan. Excited to see the results of your discipline and hard work. No Limits!

GO get it Lionel! it is yours!

No f**king about this time - re nutrition, hydration, taper, etc - I hope you do yourself justice and come away satisfied with your performance. I will be rooting for you as always!💪💪💪Best of luck🤞👍

Can’t wait to cross you on your way back on the rd117 while I’m on my way up 😂 Getting back on the course after I got hit by a car on my bike during training 2 weeks before last year Tremblant is a big W for me 😅 Go get them!

Reminder; shave that muscrat off your lip=5watts

Damn these videos fire me up!

lol it's funny how lionel is slowly coming back to what mikel iden was trying to get him to do. if only he could actually listen and stick with something for more than a few months at a time

This is going to be the most anticipated bike leg in triathlon history!

I’m considering the 17 hour drive to go watch 😂

A heroic effort for triathlon's greatest hero! Go get it, Lionel!

1) Talbot: Some questions to ask LS during these could be about nutrition and hydration. Especially during a pure training video like this. We're always interested. 2) One thing I've noted is that Lionel has a very specific kind of hunger AND confidence leading into Tremblant every year. He always has this attitude but it seems accentuated before Tremblant specifically. And his results are proof... Excited to race way behind you on Sunday.

Good. I'm 100% indoor also for the 24hour solo "A" race. Typing this on the trainer after threshold session in cool down. YOU'VE GOT THIS!!!

He doesnt ride 3hrs EVERY day. Sometimes he does 2hrs. Sometimes he does 1.5hrs. Dont think its a good message to send out to aspiring athletes, saying "i do 3hrs everyday".

I'm stoked to watch & cheer on Sunday. Not racing this year, and I'm stoked to just be able to follow on the sidelines.

I don't follow this sport, I honestly have no idea who this man is or why this was recommended to me but holy crap this is impressive. Love the discipline and determination, good luck Lionel.

Talbot: where are you going to race? Lionel: I learned to trust my body Love it

But why do so many aerobic sports professionnals go train in altitude and/or where it is very hot? Like you said in this vid, I understand the endurance to heat comes from the aerobic level fitness, but isn't better to replicate race conditions here and there while training? Jerome from Quebec.

I think Lionel epitomises the saying ‘often wrong but never in doubt’!

Yeah well. Come race time we'll just crank the "climate control" to 68" and 50% humidity. 🤣

Sometimes I think Lionel is playing a character

Is Jan working with you?

With all his indoor training focus, Lionel should get the new Wahoo Kickr Run Treadmill... He's a Wahoo sponsored athlete right?

Had a rough day at work!! So stoked to come home to a new Lionel Sanders vid!

Good Luck Lionel! I would have been pumped to get a glimpse of you while I was out on the course. I am registered to race Mont-Tremblant but injured hamstring and calf muscle 4 weeks ago and do not want to miss USA Nationals Competition with the same injury. So I am not even making the trip up to Canada. Thanks for your inspiring videos.

I am excited to see what wonders this season might end up revealing. I bet everything is planned around Kona this year though but you of course have to qualify first 😄

I realise a large part of this is your body just being used to it, but do you have any tips on not getting saddle sores when spending so much time on the bike? Feels like no matter how much I train it still hurts! (And yes, I’ve had a good bike fit) keep up the amazing work!!

This is funny stuff. People with the biggest natural motors that can cover the longest distances train in the smallest spaces. It seems like if you run or ride a bike, or even swim outside people make me feel out of place. Even on a bike trail people act like you aren't supposed to be on a bike or riding a bike fast. Then Golfers need lots of space. Golfers don't really want the virtual stuff, or like the driving range because then they don't get enough exercise sitting on a golf cart. If you run a golf course while playing people don't like it. People don't really like you swimming laps in pools because they want to sit around and relax in them.

For someone new to all this could you go over your indoor setup? the bike setup etc equipment wise and links to where to purchase the products? I would greatly appreciate it.

Your approach is inspiring as always! Good luck Lionel

Lionel... #BattleOfOntario2025 in Ottawa - LETS MAKE IT HAPPEN... Jessey, Cody, Jackson and yourself!

which indoor treadmill do you recommend?

He's come full circle then... good luck!

Love the pics on the wall in front of the treadmill and bike.

Damn running on treadmill with a pic of Frodeno haunting you... good moto

I have so much respect for athletes that train inside rather than outside I hate riding my trainer

Pumped for the race. Go get it!! ✊️

Great psychological approach to a race👍

no kona this year?

name of songs?

Kinda feel like he should be running and riding in his tri suit as well inside...you cant ride and run bare chested during races.... makes a difference even inside with evaporation of sweat off the skin. Plus wonder if he's ever been looked at for exercise induced asthma? Absolutely love these videos 😊

What treadmill is he running on?

Tunnel testing to the test on the race course. What was the CDA - 2.1? Let's see if you really can produce those numbers this weekend with all the adjustments you made in Germany. I expect a win of 12 minutes of second place. Don't bring excuses for this and that. Lionel is my man for KONA!

My legs have been feeling really sore recently and just trying to push through the pain and after watching this, it's making me reconsider 😅

Always admired the work ethic Lionel. Wishing you the best of luck in your race

I don't see you train 24/7 but it seems when you train indoors like you say you do this much,seems like your the most successful with it. I texted this to you before,it seems the indoor Training especially in the beginning when you hit successfully is your sweet spot and key to good performances. It also seems you have tried all other aspects of training ,but the indoor seems the best. Great job and cheering for your Kona goal this year!!

Come down to Texas for a few weeks....then you will feel heat stress. ;) 74% humidity

Don’t deny yourself Lionel, you have the ITU world championship title and 2no Samorin world titles not too shabby along with over 30 70.3 wins and IM wins🤷🏻‍♂️ A career many would like you may be chasing other titles but you’ll still go down in the history books as one of the greats

If it works for the women's world champion and Lionel...it works for me! I love training indoors on the bike.

Shave the legs, shave the arms...but did you have to shave the head?!? We miss the crazy hair...but still luv ya, LS! 🤩🙏💪

Great video! Lionel spitting facts. “This doesn’t matter. What matters is race day.” Love this version of Lionel 💪 and wishing him success in the future.

Why doesn't he have a Kickr (DirectSmartTrainer)?

winner 2017 itu LD World Champ

I did the IM there a few years back and loved the bike. He's going to have a ball there. Mont Tremblant was also amazing in it's support of the race. It's a must event, too bad the IM is gone. Racing in Quebec has a different flavour and I would love to see what he would do in a drag race like the Esprit. Hope race day goes well, fingers crossed.

you stay humble and always stating that you are learning.... that is the frame of mind of a champion imo...!! well done Lionel

I dont understand. Indoor training with everything being controlled, doesnt that avoid the issue of being able to handle racing in the heat and getting good at bike handling in real world conditions?

Would have been great to hear more on heat adaption and indoor training. If training is training, and the time/power is not relevant, might as well use it to prepare for hot/humid conditions, no?

GD you are a beast

Ending the vlog with a zoom-in to Crowie is an interesting decision. Is this a foreshadowing to a Newton sponsorship?

Lionel - thanks for being such a Legend - so open and honest - your comments on learning to feel your body - to not deny yourself and to trust the process as you continue to listen and feel your way forward is profound - 🙌🙌

Good luck up there. Our local pro from the town right next door is there for the race this year. Excited to see how everyone places.

Why are you using the sports omnium indoor travel trainer and not a Wahoo Kickr?

wow looking at the wall poster, Jan is really a spirit inspiring icon, I am going to put one on my wall too.

I can't imagine how boring this must be, but ya gotta do what you gotta do

Congratulations on the racoon tan line. Only a swimmer knows.

I feel like Lionel is training at a little lower bodyweight these days...

Winning is its Your time or not!! regargless of hard training and such!!

Shave your eyebrows to save 12w on the swim

Do you also do some weight lifting??

Are you going to do IM 70.3 Michigan again?

We have come to the end of the drift phonk era and on we forge into the drum and bass

Can't wait!! Will be cheering from the sidelines!

The lion will be back. Come on Lionel

Serás un Éxito! 💥👊🏽💥 Regards from Chile🇨🇱

Anyone know the name of the song in the intro? 🎵

Do we know what socks those are going in the threshold shoes?

I was there when you won in 2018!!

Hoping to get to tremblant this weekend to watch !

Whats the Music at 12.00?

Nice ti see you at indoor training

Hope to watch on RU-vid…. lets goooooo

dude you literally have a goggle tan lol

bring back the green Lionel!

Lionel looking tight, tight like a 🐯

I fully concur with indoor training especially on the bike. No wind gusts while doing efforts, no massive time wasted in non-targeted zones. The trainer is just such a beauty, so much more efficent when it comes to workouts. Though probably not so good to the eyes :(

What model treadmill is that?

Dear Sam... is 3h + 5k + 5k?

5:46 what is that, something for the air?

is he using airpods??

Come on lionel, lets get it!!!!

When is the date?

Crazy...I joined triathlon life just because to amazing feeling to be outdoors. He became a tri lab rat? Crazy! Time to move back to cold weather temps! I moved to Maui and training became near impossible because the heat.

Why 2 iPads?

He’s focused

Love ya work mate 👍 ✌️
