The Daily Echo: Run Hits Harder with Lionel Sanders: July 31, 2026

July 31, 2026

For years I thought I understood training load. I paid attention to heart rate, lactate, power, pace… but I completely underestimated one thing: mechanical load. In this video, I talk about the difference between metabolic, cardiovascular, and mechanical stress—and why running is by far the hardest discipline to recover from. It’s also why I’ve started doing much more of my running on the treadmill. Not because it’s easier, but because it lets me push my cardiovascular system while reducing the pounding on my body and, hopefully, staying consistent. Looking back, I honestly wish I’d understood this years ago before spending so much time battling injuries. If this video helps even one athlete stay healthy and keep training consistently, it’ll be worth it. #Triathlon #Running #Ironman #LionelSanders #TriathlonTraining ⸻ Support Lionel’s training setup Get $40 annual credit at The Feed (Lionel’s nutrition, hydration, and supplements): https://thefeed.com/high-performance/… Monitor recovery, blood markers, and performance trends with Rythm Health: https://rythm.health/lionel1001 Video by Talbot Cox / talbotcox https://www.talbotcox.com/
