Incredibly insightful breakdown as always. There are so many principles in this video that can benefit age groupers (humans in general for that matter) at any level not just in training but life also. Thanks Patrick🙌🏼
Patrick, thanks so much for all the work you do on the videos. Above the lessons you can impart, I find your videos inspiring and even thought-provoking. Looking forward to your video on your worlds. All the best!
What edit and video Patrick, master piece. Thank you for your detailed insight. Enjoying my post race recovery now but looking forward to train for the next Ironman 70.3. They are really live changing experiences and I agree that is the training that creates the change within us. Awesome job 🤝🏻🙏🏻
I've just recently started to watched your channel and now I am caught up with all this amazing and well done content man! how did you qualify for ironman world championship? Grazie mile!
Che progressi negli ultimi 2 anni, complimenti ! I numeri di iscritti al canale non riflette la bontà dei contenuti ed il videomaking. Keep on grinding 😊😊😊😊😊🫡🫡🫡🫡🫡
Very detailed video that will give tons of people ideas and understanding around IM training. You mentioned NVDM (great content) and one of the things they do that I want to try is swim drafting training. You’d need another person to swim with but have you thought about that or think it would benefit you?
Hi! I do it in the events but don’t train it tbh. It gives an advantage FOR SURE because you can hang on to the feet of someone who swims slightly faster than you and (provided they are sighting correctly) you don’t need to sight and end up swimming faster. I would definetly recommend doing it in a race setting. In Nice I did the first 2k @ 1:44 no wetsuit (before bumping into the huge pileups of people around buoys etc which slowed me down) hanging on the feet of a swimmer in front. It’s a very useful strategy
Hi! I did my first proper ultra trail race in the end of September (50k with 3000m+ elevation) which had been on my to do list for a long time. Next year if everything goes to plan my main goal will be an extreme gravel ironman in the south of France in June, and Ironman Italy on September to try and get as close to 9 hours as possible. I think there is room for at least 20minutes off the Hamburg time
@@PatrickDelorenzi wow!! I am excited to wait for your upcoming video! I like and love how you put your heart on the video editing side. And yes! Also, how you conquer your races too!!
Hi, thank you for nice video. I would like to ask about compresion and heat part of video for knee/elbow pains, are regular lifting sleeves enough or is that not tight enough? Thanks
Hy Andrej! Cant speak for lifting sleeves, the only thing I can say is get the tightest thing you can with most compression, but not too tight that actually eventually blocks blood flow. The compression should be noticeable, and for example the socks are hard to put on they are so tight. If they are not tight enough, the benefits will be less
@@alexbaizanos5767 I made it a priority after managing to hit all the numbers in training to be at this weight for race day; not during the training. Remember what worked for me might not be what is right for you, I don’t know how many Ironman’s you’ve done, what your or is, weight, height etc wtc
No totally understand my situation is different to yours, I am not aiming to be the same weight as you, I am just trying to understand if you put any focus on it at all 😊
@@alexbaizanos5767 In hindsight I wouldn’t stress it too much as absolute power numbers are more critical. Sure if you have a couple of kgs to lose without too much stress and without compromising the training / your life go for it
Hi! I’m very happy I bought it yes. I would recommend getting one spending up to 140€, it’s worth it. More than that? I don’t know, I personally would not spend 220€ on a higher tier Swimskin. I will speak more about it in the race recap video but I’m very happy with the huub race swimskin which I got at a discount for 130€, and it took 2-3 sec X 100 off my swim time. Even just by virtue of closing up the neck area and the back pockets and limiting drag
Patrick I love your videos. They are inspirational to me, and have been invaluable to me in my own fitness journey, as I recover from 15 knee operations and try to bring myself back to good shape. I love your honesty, its all very relatable and transferable to to average age group athlete. However, my heart sank when I heard you shilling AG1. I know based on your previous videos that you approach everything very methodically, scientifically and you wouldnt have put that in your mouth without researching it. Theres nothing wrong with it, but you must know the claims are unprovable, and a likely ingredient analysis (reverse engineered) shows its little more than a fancy multivitamin at 10 times the price. I seriously died a little inside hearing you try to sincerely repeat their marketing lines.
One BIG CURIOSITY: If you had had more time and zero stress would you have increased volume? Would you have eliminated the recovery day? In short, would you have changed something if you had made a professional life?
I think I would have changed how much intensity (tempo and race pace) I would do per week (I would do more). I think I would keep 1 very light day (at max a light bike ride) because I find that really helps
@@PatrickDelorenziSo do you think it would be better to increase the time in race peace than a (junk volume..?) In Z2? On Rest day I’m torn and I don’t even know .. I think a good athlete who manages well >15h / week can keep a day with swimming / light Z1-2 bike and gym as a recovery day. Do you use HRV4training? How do you interact with this data?
Yes I tried both the approaches and doing the intensity for me definitely had better results (but was a LOT harder). 16h week with a lot of intensity is harder than a 23 hour week with a lot of z2 I used hrv for training in the beginning but now I just go by feel, I kind of understand how I have recovered and what I can do

Great video Patrick! Quick question how tall are you? Reason I ask is have you ever tried to be race weight ready at all for your height?
Hi, yes I was race weight ready for hamburg and for nice (sub70kg)
@@PatrickDelorenzi did you make this a big priority in your training to be this weight?

🔝 Ag1!
Dopo una sessione bike corta con intervalli ti capitava mai di allungare? Magari a bassa intensità se avevi tempo?
In Germany we call you a "machiene"
does swimskin is value buy to improve your performance?
