Two bugbears:
1) she’s always yawning mid sentence in her vlogs.
2) She always talks about how busy she is. Her day is about three meetings and then a therapy session, gym and a run. Most people have to do half of those thing outwith their working day. I don’t doubt she doesn’t work hard compared to some, but the lack of awareness when making out she’s the busiest person there is

surely the pressure of the hyrox wr is getting to her. its a shame really shes already spoke about the pressure she puts on herself now shes got a bpn series around the goal and all the comments saying shes going to get it.. that kind of expectation would break me

Her training volume is crazy, and her lack of rest is concerning. She is putting way too much pressure on herself to break the WR again.

I still don't understand how she can train daily with such high volume without taking adequate rest between days. She recently addressed this on her You Tube when asked and her repsonse was something along the lines of when she was younger she swam nearly every day sometimes twice and that was much harder than this because she also had school etc etc

Could this be correct? I find it difficult to understand as i don't see other athletes training similarly. However, its interesting if true and her body can handle the training due to her swimming background.

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.

There’s a reason swimmers retire in their mid 20s.. at the latest. It’s not sustainable for adults. Swimming is a funny one as kids/teens can absorb huge volumes of training.

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.

I think that’s the really valid point that if you watch professional athletes or runners Philly Bowden for example - she hasn’t got rest days built into every week but her easy days are actually easy and then when she gets to the end of the block she has proper rest and builds slowly back into training.

In the build up to a big race you wouldn’t expect constant rest but you would expect to see that after the race not an ultra being the next goal mere weeks later

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!

I’m did swimming at national level and she’s definitely overtraining with the running and hyrox. Swimmers can train so much because it’s so low impact I don’t ever remember getting any injuries. We had maybe 9 water sessions a week and max 2 land weight conditioning. If you look at her shoulders you’ll see ex swimmers swinging them more regular runners (if you ever watch a triathlon it’s so noticeable) so she’s bound to have some issues. I also remember sleeping constantly on days I did have rest and as said above that’s why it’s only viable to keep going until your early 20s

She beat her previous time but I don’t think that’ll be enough for her to be proud of! 🥹

I think from the results Lauren won overall in a different wave but Lucy won her age category and came 2nd overall?
