Ich nehme an Kienles Appell (Nicht jeden Tag einen Ironman zu machen) war bewusst etwas überspitzt formuliert oder bezog sich auf einzelne Extremwochen.

Ich glaube, das ist auf seine Vorbereitung auf Kona in 2015 bezogen, von der er bei Bob erzählt:

Lionel: I basically was insecure about being able to cover the distance and so I said, "how can I become better at covering the distance?" Well, I'll just ride... I'll swim the entire distance in the morning, then I'll ride the distance at race pace...
Bob: 112 miles?
Lionel: I'll ride 4+ hours at... I mean my worst one... I did it 10 times leading into the race in about 15 weeks... leading into the race. I pushed 300 W minimum for 4 hours. One time I pushed 330 W for 4 hours, which is a lifetime best, actually, 4-hour power. And to put that into perspective, in St. George this year I pushed 333 W and rode 2:01 for 90 k.
Bob: Right.
Lionel: So, that for 4 hours in practice and then ran a sub 1:20 half marathon off of it. Ten of those, in 15 weeks. By the time I got here... Well, this was actually my worst performance of the 15 [sic!] times, which is... I mean, makes logical sense why that would be. But, I mean, that's not how you should go about it.
Bob: No. And then this last year.
Lionel: Last year I was completely in fear of what I did the year previous...
Bob: *chuckles*
Lionel: ...so I took the complete opposite approach.
