Whatttt im surprised by this!
If it’s true she’s got a type and it’s overgrown man child.
I’ve never liked Ben for the same reasons everyone else seems to - he comes off as very immature but places himself as an alpha with his views. It’s clear he thought of himself above Lucy simply because he is male and she is female but it’s like watching a toddler in a suit.
I’m finding his social media posts extremely manipulative too. Yes men should talk openly about their mental health etc but the angle of his posts look to me like they’re to garner sympathy and make Lucy feel bad not from any genuine self reflection.
I ended up unfollowing another local fit person to me who I was a client of for a while as he went through a divorce and the videos he was posting about it for years after he was constantly moping saying it was the hardest time of his life etc then I heard from a friend he started dating his current gf within a few weeks of the separation and I lost all sympathy I had for him as his posts were all clearly for attention. As it happened when I was a client he would constantly not follow through with sending stuff he’d promised and always had an excuse about one drama or another, wife sick, kids naughty etc. another man child!

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.
Agree. It’s very intense! She basically runs a marathon and then the next day some intense hyrox session. Surely that’s a bit much for even the fittest and strongest of athletes. On the plus side - at least it looks like she eats enough to fuel this which does make a change.
That's why all these 'fitness influencers' are always injured
I think she needs to review her training as she sees herself as an ‘elite’ but the elites are having on/off seasons and recovery built in after a race

Yeah what I was doing before was so intense I was at the point of injury when I raced so I’m going to take it up a gear
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!
Exactly. She can’t have injured it that badly as was back training / using it pretty much the next day
I wonder how much of this is her falling into the influencer trap of feeling like she needs to compete to stay interesting, and how much of it is a "look how well I'm doing without you" thing. Feels like this has all ramped up fairly recently, when she generally used to be pretty sensible before.
I see it as more of her way of managing her own anxiety/mental health challenges as opposed to doing it for content. She mentioned having an ED in the past, and has talked about how she gets anxious etc. I feel like she really struggles to manage her emotions/feelings and so just channels everything into fitness which gives her this sense of achievement and purpose. As someone who has had an ED in the past, we were always steered away from relying on exercise, because a) it can be a slippery slope and b) it can be taken away from you due to ill health or injury. Better to have multiple outlets/process feelings in different ways
Really feel for Lucy since the split, it's clear she's pushing and pushing herself in the wake of it.. I just don't understand what she's trying to prove (or it's really sad she feels she has anything to prove!). I think it was abundantly clear from their social media presence and podcast that there was a really cruel dynamic between Lucy and Ben. I thought he always spoke to her like absolute tit on the pod and I'd listen and feel like why is he being so cruel to her? So imo she's way better off without that negative relationship in her life but the way she's acting in the aftermath is also a bit iffy.
