Sam Appleton

Important reminder that the optimal training dose is the one that most benefits the athlete for their current situation. Sam Appocondo Appleton nailing his 3rd IM 70.3 victory this year own an average of 18.5 hours training a week the past 9 months. Of course the 25-30 hour weeks in the 18 months prior play a big role and he is very much still cashing in on that + his 20 years in the sport. CTL extremely low but as is proven time and time again, all metrics have their place but performance on race day is the metric that matters most. More details here: instagram.com/reel/DOVgt_FDy…

@scsentinel Hello, its Sam Appleton, the winner of the race yesterday. I wanted to reach out to see if it was possible to purchase the digital image rights of this image above for social media use? Thank you!

@mattlieto @NBCSports Phil’s gotta go

Really hoping @NBCSports dials in their cycling comms team for the tour. I know more than anyone how hard this stuff is, but I just can't anymore. Roubaix was just listening to yelling and confusion. Put me in coach!

@Qantas I’ve called, texted, emailed, sent carrier pidgeon, sent Hedwig with a note in his talons. Impossible to get in contact anywhere

@sam_appo Hi Sam, we apologise we weren't able to reply to you in time due to our high volumes on this channel. For any urgent queries (within 48hrs), it's best you contact our Reservations team directly: qantas.com/au/en/support/…. SL

hi @Qantas can you please respond to my DM

@BianchiWeather Hey Chris, is this likely to affect flights departing DIA on Friday afternoon?

Friday's looking like a widespread 2-4"/3-6" type of event across NE Colorado. Probably a good idea to change those holiday travels to Saturday or Sunday instead, if possible! #9wx #COwx

@AltYelloNatPark @JesseAPaul Most cyclists hate holding up traffic for a few seconds. It’s a motorists convenience vs a cyclists life. But sure, keep doubling down and blaming the 17 year kid who lost his life due to a motorists recklessness.

@sam_appo @JesseAPaul Boulder spent millions on bike paths for cyclists, but no, they gotta be out on the highway. I lived in boulder long enough, the diagonal isn't safe for cyclists, people use the easements for turning lanes all the time, Particularly between the Baseline area and Arapaho.

17-year-old Magnus White, a rising star in cycling, was hit by vehicle and killed in Boulder while training for mountain bike world championships coloradosun.com/2023/07/31/mag…

@AltYelloNatPark @JesseAPaul Yes, let’s blame the bikes for a car drifting into the bike line and killing a person

@JesseAPaul Happens on a regular basis in Boulder. The bikes don't follow the regulations and drivers are pissed off and sick of dodging bikes. Means fatalities are common and on the rise. 22 annually was the last I heard. That whole critical mass thing, is a perfect example.

@Timheming I was removed from Ironman RTP last year and have been put on the Australian sport integrity RTP for 2023

To avoid confusion, this doesn't mean they aren't in any testing pools. The two Norwegians, for example, are in the World Triathlon testing pool. Others may (also) be covered by national association anti-doping authorities.

@Timboreed @Theclarke 😂 I’ve been up to date last 8 years. Might have missed a couple pre 2015 though.

@Theclarke 😂😂 Can think of more than a few!

As an athlete only 3 things in life a certain. Death, taxes and you’ll need to replace your heart strap every 8 months.

@jimvance Great race by @benkanute. This tweet from a few months ago even more salient now

Crazy stat to consider: Kanute has now been 2nd twice, (2017, 2022), and 4th, (2018). In those three races, only Olympic medalists beat him. They represent 4 gold medals & a silver. (Frodeno, Alistair, KB & Gomez). #IM703WC2022

@jmarpdx Beginning to wonder if this is a satire account

@MattMcElroy9 @jmarpdx I’ve set myself back 3 years just in the last week

@jmarpdx Every sip of alcohol is minus 3 days of training.

@Alan_Couzens you don't realize how spoiled we are in AUS with all the 50m outdoor pools until you come to America for a length of time.

One of the things that I miss most about the homeland! Australia in general actually!

@bbculp 46.86*

@bbculp @IRONMANtri Isn’t there only 4 people racing? Lionel, Sam and the Norwegians?

Two American men have run an @IRONMANtri marathon under 2:37 and no one is talking about them for next week's world champs.

@bbculp @starykowicz @samgolong @CLASHENDURANCE Appreciate the vote of confidence but I’m saving myself for Oceanside in 3 weeks!

@bbculp No love for Daniel Day Lewis?

@sam_appo YES! And no.

What's your favorite movie of this century?

@ARoyle90 you love to see it.

It’s a no from me
