The fastest Ironman finish in Canadian history. 🏊🚴🏃
Brock Hoel didn’t get here overnight.
At 12 years old, he started training with Coach Luke Way. At 13, he added isocapnic respiratory training to his program. For the next decade, while other athletes trained their legs and their engines, Brock also trained his lungs.
The result? Canadian Ironman history. A lung capacity that leaves his peers behind. A respiratory system built over 10 years that doesn’t crack when the race gets hardest.
Here’s what most athletes never understand: the limiting factor in endurance isn’t always the legs or the heart. At high output, when every system is screaming, it’s the breathing muscles that often give out first. The body diverts blood away from working muscles just to keep you ventilating. That’s the metaboreflex. And it’s quiet, invisible, and rarely trained.
Brock trained it for a decade.
10 years of ISO-BWB. 10 years of closed-loop respiratory muscle training. 10 years of building the kind of ventilatory endurance that shows up when every other system is already maxed out.
This is what long-term respiratory development actually looks like. Not a supplement. Not a shortcut. An edge that compounds.
