Although swimming is very intense it's much lower impact surley than high running mileage as your in the water. Has she ever mentioned Iron Man, I don't know what distance she used to swim but Lucy Charles Barclay made switch from only swimming to iron man and has been very successful.
I’m sure Lucy Charles and other Ironman types still have rest between races and seasons. I certainly did when I was into triathlon / Ironman.

why does she constantly go on about how much muscle she has i actually cringe when she says things like ‘as a runner who carries more muscle’ or ‘because of all the muscle i have’ 😑 i think she believes she has the same muscle mass as say tia claire toomey but to me she just looks lean rather than massive…
TBF if she's natty she does carry a lot of muscle. Tia has an extremely unnatural womans physique and shouldn't be held as the standard for 'muscly' woman.

going down a letsrun rabbit hole and they reckon something went on between Lucy and Nick Bare
Those rumors have been around quite a while on reddit, i wonder how the timings tied in with things around Lucy's own marriage ending.

Is it weird that I’m more annoyed that she isn’t really telling us what’s wrong with her arm?! (Unless she has and I missed it?!)
She injured it during the farmer carries at her last HYROX comp, strained or pulled something in her forearm I believe. She hasn’t confirmed exactly what’s wrong though.

Surprised to see a former team gb ex endurance cyclist is using Lucy and Ben as her coaches for upcoming half marathon attempts, she seems to be on a plan which involves cross training and treadmill running daily despite been injured. I know elite athletes, particular endurance athletes have different tolerances but this particular women had a baby 12 months ago and surely under the podium cycling programme for years, she had access to best training staff. It makes you wonder why she opts for a influencer duo coaching plan.
Ellie Dickinson? why choose an egotistical twat like him to be her coach, when she most know some of best training staff from time on podium pathway The fact he has told her to aim for 1.27 because that's his PB just shows how egotistical unpersonalised training is.

I've followed her for years, she left BC due to mental health struggles, had difficult pregnancy and is now back training high intensity looking smaller than she ever did in her cycling days, do these coaches really have her best interests at heart.

She yawns at the start of every vlog and talks while yawning. It’s really annoying. She is also the busiest person ever with work and training. No one else is as busy as her.

Didn't even realise MyProtein did gels 🫠 I can't imagine they would sit well!!! Chester don't have the biggest amount of toilets on course!! 🫣😂
You’re making me reminisce- it was 10 years ago and my first marathon 🥹. Start of the long decline 😂.

I remember lots of guys using the hedges.

She was so upset about her performance at hyrox pro im not sure why she would risk things again. Or is she lining up an excuse as why if she doesn’t get the WR

maybe this is why she doesn’t share much about injuries lol 😂 but i don’t believe it’s torn.. she’s not shown any swelling/bruising and depending on the grade of the tear she would be out for weeks (12+ for a grade 3) but she appears to still have ROM
and is doing daily activities that wouldn’t be possible with a torn forearm.
Agreed! Maybe playing it up a bit as an excuse for not doing as well as expected on her pro debut? 🤷🏻‍♀️

At least marathon day will tell the truth!
What do we reckon she will do? I’m guessing Somewhere between 3:15-3:25. Hard to tell as she never actually raced that distance or a half or anything
---
Her easy pace is pretty much the same as her MP, and tempo / threshold isn’t much quicker either so I’m pretty confused and it’s anyone’s guess!

When she said that she got to 85 miles and cried about everything that had happened in the last year, Ben really fucked her up didn’t he…
