Not every session is a good session 

He/they just had a child. BIG adjustment on so many levels.

This.

The same in my case. Average HR increased drasticly and it takes me months to come back...

@@skylinedrag same. It came down quickly but a long time to come down completely.

@@ironmantooltime exactly. Did You have increased D-dimer level too? It is the main root cause of worse performance

@@skylinedrag I didn't get that tested, but that's good to know. Don't know if Lionel will do that.. 👍

LOVE THIS!

Unless it isn’t

Not when he is caughing up his lungs

Ja not sure about that

Just an input here, dunno if you'll agree. If you had taken 4 weeks off just to relax, you might not have been feeling so bad on returning as you did now. Bronchitis hits the lungs hard. So maybe that's what you feel now. Maybe you hadn't lost as much fitness as you'd thought, it's just that your lungs are wrecked from that sickness. It happened to me with COVID. I didnt stop training for too long, but still was wrecked after I came back.

@@na-dk9vm Yeah you might be right actually. I was shocked by how much i'd lost, it seemed excessive for what i'd expect from a month on the couch. I lost about 40-50 watts at the same HR on the bike and about 30 seconds per km at the same HR running from that 4 weeks off. Probably half of that loss came back within 2 weeks, and the rest a bit slower. Its funny though, you hear pro athletes talk about how unfit they feel after a Christmas holidays break, I think if you can avoid it or unless you're forced through injury/sickness its probably never worth taking long periods of voluntary full rest, I find it a real downer feeling like all your hard work is gone. Even doing some lower volume zone 1 or zone 2 work seems to go a long way to maintaining fitness.

@@stu3232 yeah man, you prob didn't lose that much fitness at all, the sickens just wrecked your lungs. Supposedly, a person only gains and losses fitness every 10-14 days. And when losing its only a small %.

It's totally covid. Post viral you can still be nuked. High heart rate is a classic symptom. Recovery time is .. till you're recovered. Really right now antibiotics giving him an upset gut is a very minor problem by comparison.

There's no Kona this year for the men, they race in Nice

@@expatriathlon Oh I had no idea. Good to learn about this. Thanks mate.

Also I’m pretty sure Lionel is done with the full distance.

I guess everyone should find their own ways to deal with sickness. I felt actually sick about 5 times this winter and just never paid any attention. Did the workout easier, 12hr shift, and just pushed it back. It was the first winter of my 19 years of life when I didn't get sick. Maybe it's not the best thing to do but worked for me

His max is much lower than most people thought, I think it’s around 170.

+ if U want to let body heal, then there us no trsining above Z2.. if even that.. this would be funny if it would be the first time . Sheesshh

@@heikkisanelma6625 really, when has lionel posted like this before? I'm interested to hear your knowledgeable opinion since you're sounding pretty cocky right now.

I think it's because he likes it more. Some people like the sensation, as is more similar to actually riding a bike.

ben foltz who said it is part of the that triathlon life development team, so I guess he was messing with talbot since they both some of the most popular YT channels

Unless you've got no talent, then it doesn't. Ask me how I know 😂

He uses whoop, so you would think so? 🤔

Lactate Plus Meter Blood (Nova Biomedical)

measuring lactate

​@@kolboch what's measuring lactate?

Yea a few of us are calling it covid. I think you can train post vid but you can't ignore elevated heart rate. He shouldould suck it up and run easy indoors in the warm on the treadmill.

Highly doubt its covid

@@troycollett8540 oh right because it doesn't exist?

@@troycollett8540 the most highly infectious, prevalent disease in the planet right now and numbnutts says its highly unlikely to be that. Explain, genius, looking forward to you choice comments.

@@ironmantooltime didn’t say that did I? If he thought it was Covid he would get tested you twerp

Sorry! 🤣🙈 I actually bought one yesterday hehe thanks for the advice! It’s the small things I forget sometimes
