Episode 92: Lionel Sanders
In episode #92 of The Physical Performance Show I have a chat with Lionel Sanders. Lionel had a strong interest in basketball and running before stopping his sporting pursuits towards the end of high school where he got sidetracked and tried to find himself in alcohol and drugs. After a number of years where Lionel suffered depression he started running again on November the 2009. After one month of running Lionel was still not happy with his running and decided to enter Ironman Louisville and committed himself to training over the next 10 months prior to racing his first Ironman. This led to Lionel devoting himself to improving his swimming, biking and running over the next three years before racing his first professional Ironman on September the 2013 and taking the win. Since then Lionel has experienced many highs, lows and lessons in racing and training and has become one of the strongest Triathletes in the world. In 2017 he won the ITU Long Course World Championships Triathlon and finished in 2nd place at the World Ironman Championships nearly breaking the course record. Lionel is an incredible athlete who’s mindset sets him apart from his competitors. Tune in to hear all about Lionel’s background in sport, what drove him to start Triathlon just 9 years ago and what has been his driving force to become one of the strongest Triathletes in the world.
