I always found him to be condescending towards her, she deserves better and I'm so happy for her to break out of that relationship!

Influencers (like lucy) take zero responsibility for what they share and promote online. It’s not good enough to say ‘don’t do what I do’ when you are there to ‘influence’ people. You can’t have it both ways.

A few comments have started to pop up on her youtube now. I noticed she deleted some from her tik toks asking about them. I think she would thrive without him as it’s been mentioned before his attitude towards both her and cal on the podcast is terrible, i have often thought about the way he may speak to her behind closed doors if his attitude stinks in public.. i think he is a man with a very fragile ego & cannot handle her success :(

I do like Lucy but I feel like her habits are very toxic. She promotes fitness to the extreme, but now she’s ended up needing surgeries from overdoing it. There needs to be a balance, staying active without ruining your body. When it gets obsessive it’s basically an addiction. She might have a healthy heart but

It’s all fun and games in your 20s- in ten years time she will be regretting it. I know from experience how differently your body responds to injuries after 30!

This breakup seems to have lit a fire inside her, it’s lovely to see, I just hope she’s not heading for a big crash (saying that as someone who’s been there 😭)

Ultra marathon and then three weeks later, Hyrox Pro? Does anyone else feel like Lucy's going to break herself eventually? I know she's very strong and fit, but these constant back to back races feel like too much, even for her. She doesn't ever seem to take any time to rest and recover.

Reckon he cheated with girls who have very different body types to lucy like not very built and strong and that's why she's been insecure

Probably too busy filming herself! 😂

I’m like Lucy in the sense that I am a PT but I’m also a runner and been running marathons for 6 years now (plus all the distances below down to 5k). I’m faster than her and more experienced, but when PT clients (new or current) ask for running help I’m very honest. I’m not a running coach, I have no qualifications in running coaching. I can give advice on types of training and runs you can do depending on your goals and how to put together a plan / tailor it to you but I don’t offer running coaching. Yes I’m skilled in coaching people in a fitness sense and the changing behaviour side of things, but not specifically in running. Where I can very confidently and am qualified to do is help on strength training and nutrition to support your running goals.

I also don’t wear carbon plates shoes for every frickin run, or horrid gym shark kit or constantly film myself

I’ve seen some comments on Reddit and TikTok (random hydrox posts) saying she’s cheated. I think we can’t go on how anyone’s behaved after a split to say who did what.

I have had to unfollow Lucy as much as I used to love her old content I feel she’s just constantly seeking praise. My FYP is full of her reposting people saying how amazing she is. I used to find her videos so helpful and informative with it being based round her app. And now it’s just feels like I’m better than you

He's ex police and tbh we know there's a link there with misogyny/views towards women. He's horrible towards her and she wants to bring a child into the situation? She needs to divorce him

i agree. her pro debut was amazing and such a respectable time, credit where credits due she is a talented athlete so yeah no need to make excuses which i think is what shes doing. she’s been open before about the pressure she puts on herself and it does show. i was really excited for the america content but have found her insufferable, the constant over the top laughing has made me put the videos off. i hate the constant pushing bpn products too :(

sorry if this details the discussion often think about how and why loads of fitness influencers/athletes are constantly injured. a lot of running influencers i followed when i used instagram have suffered stress fractures. ben is the same he’s always got something. i have trained consistently for 7+ years now, a mix of strength training, crossfit and running. my training volume is similar to lucy’s, i dont compete or race as much anymore right enough (+ a full time job & high energy dog that needs lots of walking) and i’ve have minor injuries twice in that time, once was when i did my first half marathon at 20 with a sporadic training plan and during my first crossfit comp.
i don’t take any fancy supplements, no ice baths/saunas ect ect im either really lucky or all you truly need is a rest when you need it and a decent warm up/stretching routine 😂 i used to watch lucy’s and other influencers what i eat videos and feel guilty and worried that i eat too much but maybe thats also helping to keep me injury free
They all overtrain. The no days off mentality isn't healthy for anyone. Even Olympians have off seasons and deload weeks from time to time

I think both of there social media’s are showing what they want the other to see

Ben struggling with his mental health and how to cope
Lucy smashing life experiences and doing great without him

No, she didn’t do any hills for Chester. On her stories she said the course was surprisingly hilly…why do people not research the course that they’ve signed up to?

Also, she lives just outside Chester????!!! I’m so confused as to why she found it a surprise

Just see she got a new WR at the Hyrox today. Fair play to her! No idea what has gone down with the split, but seems a lot of mutuals have sided with Benji. That would be a massive motivation to kick arse, I reckon
