Excellent content more please
Yes please. Especially pros (or age groupers) juggling multiple activities and dealing with "real life" from time to time. How to get it all in yet not just use kids & pets as excuses for not managing 3 sports... also the week format seems refreshing vs. "a day of" which most youtubing pros have now published...
One of my favorite videos you’ve done. As a back of pack pro with kids and a job, this shows how tricky it is to get it all in. Kudos to him for some amazing training and racing while getting the degree !
Thanks - glad you enjoyed it 🙂
I loved this format and am inspired by Leon!! He feels so down to earth and relatable.
Excellent video. Thanks GTN. I met Leon at this years Alpe Duez Triathlon. He won the long course race in 5.41. A first class result.......and a gentleman to go with it. He has the talent to podium at long distance championships, that I'm certain of. All the very best at Kona, I'll be watching the live stream!
👏Love the reality/honesty of this Leon!! Plus Cereal FTW 👑 😋
“I wanted to do a PhD… I never thought I’d say those words…” 😅
I feel you, man!
Super nice video, showing people with more realistic lives at the top of the sport!!
Top VT, I think many people think its easy for a Pro as its there full time job and they have all the time in the world to train, but they still experience the same issues as Age Groupers i.e. tiredness, loss of motivation and other life goals.
Great vid, very insightful and motivational too !
Great, this is exactly what we love to hear 💪
This dude might be the most interesting man in triathlon.
What a gent! And what a vid, probably the best
I’m a 10.5 and the Rocket X are my favourite shoes ever 😍 awesome video and well done on the 6th place finish in St George!
You know he’s been in England too long when he’s a Frenchman drinking a big mug of Tea for breakfast! 😂
I could manage running when I was in grad school, but I couldn’t have done all three sports at Ironman volume!
Great guy and great result at St. George!
Inspiring guy
Great insight Leon
Lovely content, more of this please!
What a great video. Thank you for sharing!
Thanks!
you probably already know this Leon, but you ent doin yourself any favours by working on your laptop in such an unergonomic position. you want good posture and your arms supported at 90 degrees so they reach the keys easily, and the screen should be higher - you want it so your eyes are level with one third down the screen.
i am trying to fight my own nerd neck and chronic back problems and i just wanted you to have this info in case you didn't already.
cheers o/
Really great video! Never realised how much swimming/how many swimming sessions the pros do.
Something I can’t wrap my head around is the 5 hour turbo; 2 hours cycling indoors feels like a lifetime, how do you keep yourself focused for that long?
ESPN and race highlights
Long session right!
Great video! Planning on juggling a masters and training for my first ironman next year. On a side note, I'm a 10.5...
Wow he’s from Long Island … talk about changing accents
I'm size 10.5, would love some 60KM-old shoes! (And nice work.)
Very interesting 👍
Great vid. I am happy to treat you to a battery for your clock.
World class work life balance
Seems like they are always using the buoy on the swims. How much buoy vs non-buoy swimming will they typically do?
nice to see a pro have a sweet tooth haha
😅
Wonder how he has the lane to himself at the pool.
How do you have an income while doing all this? Are you sponsored?
I’m a 10.5 sized shoe… sold, I’ll take them!
His shoes are hoka
Very nice life how can I get the Shoes of Leon I am a 9 1/2
Its hoka
