she's proud obviously of how she looks, but I found all her pics (heavily posed) disturbing.

Breath woman, just breath, we know you have abs

Not that anything about her training and nutrition has ever been healthy but really advocating doing a 22 mile run with only two gels is not really something to be sharing to a large audience particular with warm weather at minute.

A lot of influencers got boiled in the heat today, but not Lucy. Her time in Texas has paid off I think. Nuttyfoodiefitness was way behind her goal, seems like tough conditions.

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
This is just a guess, but she's younger than him and I believe he really wanted them to settle down for real with a bunch of kids, while she still needs to have a lot of freedom to do crazy challenges, ultras, travels etc. Maybe they just wanted different lives in the end.

I don’t think either of them as shared but Ben did a video recently and he sounded like he’d been in a VERY dark place at points since their split
I had a theory that he was the dumpee, Lucy probably left. It seemed she posted they split and seems to be doing well since, and someone mentioned a podcast she was in that dropped comments of distrust / low self esteem due to his actions. He then seemed in a dark place or was using the split for his lonely chapter. She seems to be doing great without him though so pat on the back for focusing on herself even if it does seem shes keeping too busy to deal with things!

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
I also don’t think she injured her forearm as badly as she made out she did, I think this was an excuse for her ‘disappointing’ result!

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.

There’s a lot of fitness/run influencers that are injured at the minute which has had a lot of tik toks highlighting this. Some opinions are that it’s due to over training or influencers who are promoting AI generating plans.

Has Lucy even rested since her sub 3 marathon? I know she’s super fit, but she’s already running big distances again and smashing ridiculous Hyrox sessions. It all feels a little unhealthy…

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 :(
She mentioned on her vlog she’d lost weight as she’d been going through a stressful time. She was wearing a band on her ring finger but not the engagement ring. Her sister was also staying over at her house which made me think she’s in the house without him.

I haven’t heard their podcasts but on the running instagrammers thread it was picked up on a lot that he spoke poorly towards her and also just had quite an arogant attitude and looked down on certain people etc

Shes all over the place with her injury yet still goes for a run. Seems her whole self worth is just centred around exercise. Over training is gonna break her eventually and she wont have any choice then but to rest. Seems hes no better too with his suspected stress fracture. 🙄

Someone here mentioned Johnny Davies, he seems like another Ben to me. I said before I was hoping she'd have a fling with one of the Americans they seem more fun and free spirited. Johnny is giving narcissist...purely based on what I've seen in her videos and vlogs, he could be lovely but seems to have to correct her or mansplain anytime he's on camera

I’m a bit bored of influencers getting free places to marathons that are so tough to get into, like London or Boston. Lucy’s fast enough for a Good for Age time, why did she need a Strava freebie to take part?

Is he wearing her clothes and bag? She has very awkward style when in non-training clothes (though she looks nice in this particular outfit), but he’s next level awful..

I get the hybrid thing though, if you're training for marathons you have to dedicate a lot of time to running and you get pretty fatigued/need recovery which does not lend itself well to doing strength training.

Also running sub 3 for a woman is a very different feat to running sub 3 as a guy, her goals 3:11 etc. might seem odd but she's at the point where running faster means slight improvements i.e. 10-15 seconds/mile. Generally from you know training how much time you can reasonably run splits so you try to set reasonable goals you can be happy with. A goal of 3:11 was 4 min better than her prior time I believe, which would be about 10 seconds per mile faster.

Aren’t they both just BPN athletes? Or do we think there’s something going on there?
Ben had posted something about him being a rat a while ago? Or the company he’s associated with. He looks like he’s had a face lift on Lucy’s stories 🤣I mean we don’t know they’ve been together for long if at all but it always amazes me how people jump so quickly to a new relationship. I’m eternally single🤣
