Running Out Of Time || 2022 Review 

Never change Lionel!!!! And as Jan said”when Lionel figures it out we’re all in trouble”!

I've always loved the content from Lionel, but this is my favourite video ever from him. Vintage Lionel is scary good, can't wait to see him again.

Hi Lionel, I raced Indian Wells. I literally told myself I may not finish the swim. Well, I didn’t. My 70.3 ended 30 minutes into the race. I was pulled for being too slow. The best part of my Indian Wells race was getting an autograph from you as you walked to drop off your T2 gear. I’m coming back to Indian Wells in 2023. I will effing finish the race. I will listen to this video every effing day to remind me why I do this. My damn confidence beat me. Listening to this, man…thank you! Thank you for being genuine.

Hahaha How can you not love this guy? He’s gonna crush it next season!!

Strongest character and charisma of any athlete I've ever been a fan of. Absolutely love this guy and can't get enough of this great content!

Undoubtedly the best interview of the year! Had goosebumps hearing the intensity 🔥 🦁

“Jan could have had 5 cigarettes at the finish line before 2nd place came in” 😂🔥

I'm one of those folks who've never been critical of whatever things LS has tried and whether it worked or didn't. I have no clue what it's like to be at that level of anything. It's just fun to see the inside out perspective of it and him willing to share it. He wears his heart on the sleeve for the most part and doesn't seem to be controlled from a messaging level from his sponsors which just adds more spice and fun to following along. THanks LS team!

I have a few of LS video's saved to watch while I am suffering either on the bike or the treadmill. It looks like we can add another one to the list. We are behind you!

The highlight of my training year was looking over on a group ride on Zwift to see the verified check next to Lionel Sanders' name. It was a blast to see everyone start to notice who was riding with us. Never have a group of Zwifters been so happy to be paced by someone we all watch and follow.

You fired me up!! Let's fucking gooooo!!!! 2023 here we fucking come!!!

I'd come back anytime to be shouted at by Lionel for 15 minutes straight. Loved the video ! GL Champ !

One of the most inspirational and motivational guys on the planet. Crush it in 2023 💪💪💪

having a deep belief in ones self is what i took away from this, its so true, what a good message. man am i glad Lionel is out here dropping these truth bombs

Lionel - take inspiration from another famous Lionel who turned 35 this year and what dream he accomplished. This is the year you write your own story. We are rooting for you!

you Lionel, are a true warrior. I look forward to your content in 2023. I will be cheering you on in every race. May God shine down upon you and your family in 2023.

ROAR! @13:06.....hope you and Jan are going to race against each other 2023

Earlier in the season: I’m ready to hand everything over to my team and just focus on training. Previous video: I’ll just focus on 70.3s.

Undoubtedly a legend. Thanks for the great year Lionel

This is the Lionel that I started following years ago! Get angry and go get it. Don’t let doubt and fear get in the way of progress and performance!!!

A true Canadian! Glad to have great folks like Lionel representing Canada. Keep on ripp'N.

no matter what, you'll always be my biggest inspiration!

I first learned who you are Lionel at the 2017 ITU long course worlds in Penticton when you gave your victory speech. Since then I've been rooting for you, you got this!

Just wanted to say thank you. I say running saved my life and I give it all I can. Now in the last 7 months I found a love for Triathlon. And you are my favorite happy you have a channel. Thanks for pushing me to do more.

This comentry has been the greatest catalyst in my last 5 years. Thank you so much for this. I gave up half Ironman 5 years ago, and after this I am dead set into getting back into it, thank you

You are the man Lionel! Can’t wait to watch you crush it in 2023!

Have followed for a long time, have a longer memory then most and will keep following. Thank you for your authenticity. Also - I feel like Lionel and David Goggins would get along really well.

Becoming world champion is a Lionel Sanders goal, and a very noble one indeed. I'm sure all of us will continue to root for you and feel extreme pride when you inevitably achieve it. However, the unmeasurable impact you've had on us, your viewers, over the years; that's a lifetime achievement in itself that's way beyond what any world title could ever achieve. The human impact will always best the individual impact. The way you've inspired hundreds of thousands of us to do more, and ultimately be more, is a true victory that no one will ever be able to take from you. I think it quite difficult for you to actually grasp how far you've reached into our lives and motivated us, but perhaps one day you'll realize you'd already won way before you finished. Thank you Mr. Sanders. And I shall now stop hunching over my laptop keyboard and resume training, for there's time, but not too much to waste.

Someone please make a motivation song out of this! Greatest athlete interview of all time. Would play this on repeat when I train. Let's go!!!

I’m on the Sanders train through all the ups and downs. Here’s to a year of ups in 2023!

I'm definitely saving this video for my lazy days... this will get my ass out the door like a rocket!!!

Love when the lion gets angry and pissed off… watched this while on my bike in the basement training and this game me the fire… keep it up and get after it Lionel!

Lionel some of us knew you before you started the Triathlon journey. The ground-pounding Essex County kid who won all the local running races; 5K, 10K, 10 Miles, you won them all. We've all enjoyed the journey and have seen you tune your body to perfection, but at the same time I have never seen you more deeply, deeply fatigued than approx last August. That massive fatigue made the hot days much more difficult & the cold water at Indian Wells harder to manage. Seriously let yourself recover Lionel & only then ,go Flat Out for 2023...!

Always with you Lionel!!!! Always 💪💪💪

NEVER apologize for having self-confidence Lionel!! Pity and trash talk are things you'll get for free, especially from the media and people who aren't paying your bills. Now put the cherry on top and teach them!

You are a TOP WORLD ATHLETE! Nothing to be ashamed , you will have a GREAT 2023! Enjoy the TRIP!

Wish you all the best in 2023🤞

LS is the representation of every one of us who are out there trying to better ourselves.

Dude I hope you win agin because you are a winner, but it’s awesome to follow your journey. Will or loose you are still a wonderful example and drives me to be a stronger person. So thanks for doing that for years for me and so many others.

We love you Lionel. You inspired me to did my first triathlon. Thanks from the distance.

Now Im fired up :) Thank you Lionel for always inspiring me to be the best I can be. Triathlon saved my life too. Ive been following your journey from the start of your youtube vlogs and I will continue following your journey. This is the best interview ive have seen and I believe you will get back to your own path.Stay who you are,believe and continue to inspire us age groupers who love triathlon just as much as you.

Best overview he's given. Great stuff

intensity and honesty.. its now or never... get it champ!!!

Hell yea, keep it going Lionel. Do what you love the way you love. We are here to watch any of it, because of your honesty, your courage, your vulnerability and the big heart behind it all. I am super excited to see what you will do next!

Love the energy in this video. Roll on 2023. LET F'ING GO!!!!

Yess, Lionel is on fire, now I look even more forward to 2023!

Your a freaking Legend!! I was a heroin addict and fell in love with Ironman! I’m nowhere near a professional but you inspire me so much!! No limits!!!!!!!!!!!

WOW NOW THATS CONTENT I am fired up !!! GO LIONEL

Ready to run through a brick wall after watching this. Superb! can't wait to see how 2023 shapes up for you LS!

Absolutely love you Lionel, warts and all man! Love the undiluted content as always and hope you “Smash It” next year!

I kinda love the Lionel villain arc. Fuck ya, keep bringing this energy.

Yes, before you're not afraid to blow up, giving it all in the bike. I believe you have a better swim now and run. We loved you for giving it all, the grit to win.

I appreciate your humble nature Lionel,I know you’re going to have a great 2023.

Love this guy! Your awesome Lionel and an inspiration to all. See you in 2023.

Great content all year Lionel don't be silly. Its all about the journey. You are changing lives.

So interesting. It starts with disappointment with results, but it ends with him saying what really matters, his process and way of living it. When straying away from this, results also go away. Loved the stoic perspective. I wish you a great 2023!

Go get ‘em Lionel!! Backed you since the beginning and always will. Frankly couldn’t give a f*uck about the results either. I’m here for you, your story and inspiration, none of which are influenced (in my mind at least) by results. You’re living the dream. Enjoy the moment and give it all you’ve got!

I'm not sure if this is truly the proper attitude to take BUT it certainly makes a fantastic media piece - I'm tuning in next year to watch the drama unfold!

I cannot wait to watch the 2023 season unfold. Lionel Sanders is 🤬🔥💪🏼🇨🇦

So hard on yourself brother. You are an inspiration!!. Lots of Love from South Africa.

All heart and fire. Thats the lionel we know and love.

You are the man bro speaking from the heart the most honest athlete off all time go hard in 2023 il be watching all the way from nz this come back is going to be insane il be watching

My favorite triathlete, savage of a man. Thanks Lionel!

Thank you Lionel, in my opinion you have done more for the sport than anyone, love your content and looking forward to next season!

You are a legend!! Can’t wait to see you in race courses!

This was a commitment with motivation like every other years. It would be better to see that you are happy with the 2nd place in WC in St George and winning the Collins Cup. Always changing may not be the best strategy, anyway would be nice to know news of those that have been with you in Kona, coach Mikal and training partners like CC. Best luck for 2023, May this be the year.

While it has been many years of year end videos, I think this is the first time that I can say you are understanding it. The "IT" is yourself! You've inspired many Lionel and you do pump us up. Keep it going, believe in yourself because a lot of us believe in you also. If you're ever back home and feel the desire to cross the Ambassador Bridge, there is a Freshii downtown Detroit, I'll buy you a bowl. :)

Go Lionel Go! You are way too hard on yourself! We all believe in you, now you must believe in you! Hang in & find the joy again in your sport....just be you! You are loved!!!!

Lionel, Thanks for firing me up! I believe you are an incredible athlete and person. Congratulations on becoming a Dad. I am a father of 3. 2023 is going to be a wake up call for the other pros. I believe they are afraid of you and your talent. Sometimes we have to get back to the basics and train what works for us as athletes. You nailed it!!! I always enjoy watching you race. It’s time to unleash the Lion in 2023!

Lionel always level his races when that fire is inside. So exited to see what he will do this year!!!!!

Best Video since years. Thanks for showing!

That fire, energy and passion is contagious and inspiring and why I believe you deserve to be World Champion next year! 🙌

This is amazing. Keep doing you Lionel, you do amp us up. Nothing but love!

Man this video has me fired up. Hell yeah Lionel. Get em next year for sure!!

Lionel I have been following you for a while and there’s something about you that separates you from the others. You will destroy they guys soon Godspeed brother

Watching this interview has made me want to go running through walls just listening to you Lionel!! Looking forward to seeing you smash all comers this year... You're a machine Lionel, keep pushing and inspiring.

The LION is back! You got this. It is all part of the process. I get the burnout part. 2023 is coming in with a vengeance. No Limits. You need to do what you KNOW is working.

Thank you, Lionel! ♥️

Yeeess! These words and the vibe is like the videos from many years ago. Whenever I’ve felt low and not wanted to go out and train I put some of the earlier videos on and that sets me straight.

The honesty and competitiveness is what keeps your fans loyal to you. Never change that. Hopefully I'll toe the starting line with you at 70.3 Gulf Coast this year.

Yes! Always been inspired by Lionel and can't wait for this season

F ing lets go lionel!!! You are an inspiration to all of us. I got into triathlon becauae of you! And i will continue to do it. Lets go my man!

20 min threshold intervals! 3km threshold repeats! 2023 the year of the fucking Lionel!

Thank you brother. Appreciate you. Cheers🤙🏻

I know you say it was a crappy year - but you have to admit, that race against the Sam’s in Samorin was pretty darn good. Have a great 2023!

Hey Lionel. Thank you very much for such a raw and honest review. May I just tell you the impact you have made on my life and my training. I'm no athlete, when I do a 5150 my mission is to make the cutoff, but I admire you. You may think you have not lived up to your own expectations, but do not take away your sphere of influence. Your courage and perseverance is truly spectacular and awe inspiring. I know that doesn't get you first place. You are to me what Lance Armstrong was to cycling (before the doping). Your competitors may get the #1 spots, but they are forgettable. You make the sport exciting! All the very best for 2023 and regardless of your results, you are true hero bro.

I:m 49 and been slipping back to training(trail running and crossfit) the last few years, but have lost a lot motivation this autumn. This got me fired up, for realz; thanks Lionel, stay fierce! 🤟I' m going for a run in the rain now....

Happy New Year Lionel & family .... Pumped to watch you in 2023..keep up the good work.

You have changed my life and thought process...you are the best tri I've ever seen! I don't care who has one bc that hasn't helped me. You can disagree if you want but its true! Cheers

You know Brian's Book "Wish it, Want it, Do it"? I wrote one too, it's called "Wish it, Want it - You Blew it". Let me read you an excerpt. "You wished you could have won the World Championship, You wanted to beat everyone else in the field...Guess what, You Blew It." -Vinny All Love, Lionel. You are the man.

Great video like always! Can’t wait for ‘23!

Dude we have faith in you! Always love watching you race.

We cannot wait to see a fired up Lionel on the 2023 PTO Tour 👀

Love it…the 🦁 comes out of his cage 💪🏻….2023 is going to be yours… You are forever my preferred triathlete, love your authenticity, character…and will always root for you…👍🏻

Thank you for all you do Lionel. Stay strong! I believe in you!

Your content is ALWAYS good Lionel because it's raw and it's real - just like life. Don't stop ever

Watching this video and hearing his expressions i understand the NO LIMITS, such a Great human being, postive athlete, You deserve a world championship Lío🙏

Let's Gooo! 2023 is your year! Excited to see you performing next year!

You go Lionel ~. be yourself, and you can always live with any results. And you still have it, and PLENTY of opportunity. Do it man!

Always Motivation, Wish you all the best for the new season and hope to see you battle for the top again 🚀💪
