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…

Steph’s birthday message to him has made me think surely he’s not cheated on her or anything like that or her best friend would be talking to him differently

Wow that’s sad. lucky friend, those cats were cute. Though I bet all that long white fur was a nightmare for getting stuck to everything

I'm intrigued by 'flex your failure' but I don't get it, is it 1 rep max testing etc or running to point you get an injury? you see a lot of PTs now offering 'mindset transformations' then post bikini competitions
Was going to ask does she do any hill running or trail running (basically any non road running)? admittedly i've not watched all of her videos (and it's usually in background while i'm cleaning etc) but never seen her mention hill sprints, just doing x k to flex

I think she did some minimal hill training when training for Race to the Stones but she hardly ever does trail running. And to be honest most of her training seems pretty similar - another one who doesn’t have enough difference between her training paces.

She’s doing a 60K ultra in January though I don’t think she’s said which one? But maybe I’ve just missed it. If it’s on trail she’s going to be in for a nasty, muddy surprise.

Also have no idea why she’s doing it so close to Hyrox. I imagine she’s eventually going to burn out doing all these intense endurance events so close together without any rest periods 🤷‍♀️

Did she say she was in a bad place mentally, because of the loss muscle mass? If her body image/exercise/diet issues are that bad, how would she ever cope with pregnancy and the changing body shape during that time period.

Yeah she did, she felt like she was too skinny and I think a lot of people were commenting on the way she looked. I can appreciate that if you’ve built your whole brand around your appearance, it can be hard when that changes

I just went for a nosey on her Strava, she doesn't do hills does she. Also on the post for the marathon she said she got cramp. I know (or assume) it's flat where she lives but I've done less distance this year but an extra 10,000m of elevation compared to her. I know friends who ran it said they struggled with the heat at Chester yesterday though.

How expensive do we think the aesene stuff is going to be because it looks nice but I just have a funny feeling it’s going to be like £50 for a sports bra

I wonder if it's over with the new bloke (hopefully, if it is that Johnny fella) as her recent updates have all pointed to something not working out. I think if it was the move to Austin or the BPM contract falling through she'd be less melancholy.

yes apparently he cheated on his wife with her, then he turned extremely religious to show he had changed or some nonsense

Thats a really shitty thing for them both to do that. So Lucy's not such a nice girl it seems.

I think lucy will easily do her goal of 2:54. Berlin is flat and she’s done the training. I think she will do closer to 2:50. Plus she’s got the mental strength which means A LOT in the marathon

I think she is going for 2:50 and just not saying it. Sub 2:54 is very arbitrary. She should do it. I mean, her job is basically to train!

She has a very strong physique but I still think this relentless training will come back to bite her in the form of stress fractures. Time will tell!

It’s interesting that she’s being open about trying for a baby right now on the podcast, purely that will greatly impact whatever the next four challenges are that she’s setting herself
