Everything You Need to Know About RUNNING

[@heathertormey]

I'm fairly new to running and this video came out at the perfect time. I'm training for my first 5k now!

[@anushasuvarna7117]

Really wanted a video like this !!!! ❤ thanks Lucy ! You are the best as always x

[@andreahjalmarsson1092]

Throughout the years I’ve mostly used running for my mental health and it even pulled me out of a depression a couple years ago. So I’ve never really been that consistent with it and I never ran more than 4-5k but before this summer my two sisters and I signed up for a 10k race, so all summer I’ve been on a training schedule to reach that 10k. It certainly came with its ups and downs, but it’s all been worth it because I completed my first ever 10k tonight🥳🎉 But right now I’m just excited to be able to run when and how I want after this race, to do my mental health runs again😅 I’m definitely more open to pushing myself against new goals in my running but I’ve also become so much more confident in my ability to run!

Extremely helpful video! Your next video, you should do a rest/activity recovery video. I.e. Foam rolling and self care

[@laurencharltonn]

Love this idea!

[@AshleyBitton]

This was so helpful Lucy!! 🙏❤️ I’m just now getting back into running after taking a break to recover from an eating disorder that had a big movement compulsion tied to it 💜. I can honestly and finally happily say that I love running again and do it for the right reasons now 🕊️🤍, that’s why I appreciated this video and all you had to say about running, especially that you also prioritize food and proper fuel. Oh, and I learned the hard way - socks definitely make a difference!!! 😣😆 sending big hugs and lots of love and support from LA! xoxo 🥰❤️💕💕💕🦋

[@hoxandjones]

Lucy, I highly recommend the Injinji lightweight toe socks! Check out the reviews, they are a game changer for toe protection and keep your nails protected. So important to look after your feet! ☺️💜

[@LucyDavisFit]

I have these too! Used them for my ultra prep they were fab!

[@andreayawn9260]

Fabulous video! Thank you so much!

[@Rob_Gilbert]

Great video Lucy with some sound advice. Long story short, I used to regularly run 5k approx 6 years ago but stopped and have generally been in the gym or doing HIIT. I returned to running at the end of May and completed 5k, before quickly progressing to 10k. My legs are so much stronger which I can only attribute to the work in the gym. I do need to develop a better understanding of heart rate monitoring and the different zones. Oh and good luck with those injections 😢

[@andreiaspost]

Thank you so much for this video! It was so helpful as I’m preparing for my first marathon!

[@CR-hq6un]

Thank you for this

[@Nabbo892]

Great video thank you for doing this

[@Thebethybethx]

Would love to know your view on using Whoop for running? the running feature seems good if you didnt want to invest in both. Loveeddd this video x

[@maddiewiseman9098]

Hey Lucy I’ve been struggling with a laberal tear in my hip along with tendinitis how did you deal with having an injury and getting back into running, some days are good for me some are bad, I’m in the NZ Army so I need to be able to run and have had this injury for 2 years now it’s getting to the point of almost surgery but I don’t want it lol (love your videos) ❤

[@mspazmino]

Hi, could you please leave the link where you purchased your glasses.

[@AlexisLifts]

Loved this video - as always! Just starting running myself - at what point should I be trying out different types of trainers for different types of runs/replacing my trainers?

[@orlamulholland9024]

What sunglasses do you recommend?

[@IndianaHannah]

Thanks lucy. Yes do a day in the life rest day would be great.

[@tonileigh09]

Is the whoop recovery comparable to the garmin body battery/recovery info or do you find it useful to have both?

[@tabithawills4389]

Came here to ask the same question!

[@LucyDavisFit]

Always found it better to have both really as they show me different info! Battery I would say is the same!

[@lauraberr]

Great content as always!!!🤩 I had 6 vaccine injections in june for a trip, first days I felt so tired running, but it wasnt as bad as I thought it would be hahahaha🤪

[@elizabethwebster3461]

Love the video and the content Lucy ☺️I use the same Garmin as you and I tend to disagree with you re the strength function I find once you have entered the particular strength exercise you are doing it records pretty well x🥰x

[@jackharrington697]

Awesome video Lucy!! your my favorite KZbinr!! 💙💙💪💪💜💜👍👍

[@SoapMacLavish]

beautiful lucy😍🤩🥰 face literally glowing

[@martina2728]

i needed this so much and i didn’t even know

[@joeshmo5399]

Can you train like Chrisie Wellington?

[@racheldispoto7175]

Hi! Does whoop send to the USA? or is this for living in the UK? Love your page!

[@erikagiorgi935]

Hi! Thanks for the great video :) I was wondering how best to avoid getting blisters on your feet during longer runs, I guess its mostly to do with finding a shoe that fits right?

[@mondscheinblitz]

hey Lucy! i loved your video i even took some notes :) ! do you have any examples for some good every day running shoes not shoes meant esp for tempo or race day that would be rly nice

[@LucyDavisFit]

The HOKA clifton 9s are great and the Nike tempo next % (narrower fit). I know a lot of people also wear ASICS! X

[@nataliacarrillo7917]

Do both woop and garmin give info about your vo2 max, zone 2, etc?

[@LucyDavisFit]

Not sure garmin does all the different zones like whoop does, but it does VO2 yes x

[@nataliacarrillo7917]

Thanks so much for the info!

[@LoveTBY]

Which exact garmin watch do you use?

[@CR-hq6un]

How do you listen to your music/podcasts whilst you run? Via your phone? I have signed up for a half marathon and I’m trying to figure this part out? I normally listen to music/podcast via my phone, that I have in a strap that sits in the centre of my chest…. But I’ve seen people where different vests for half marathons, for gels/water?….But I don’t think these vests carry your phone?

[@saracas93]

Would be happy with a daily vlog of your rest days!

[@AshleyBitton]

Is there too much running? Like is it okay to run daily?

[@millie35998]

How do you get your hair to stay in those cute buns?! Please tell us your secrets ❤

[@LJSheffRBLX]

awesome video keep it up dude

[@melissaebbert3844]

I wish Whoop wasn’t $40 a month! So expensive!

[@Hufflestitcher87]

Trying to run with big boobs is rough 😢 I have to wear a high impact sports bra plus a tight-ish shirt or its painful. Great video ❤ I am working towards my first 5K. I find that rucking is easier for me. Running is hard but I can take a 20kg pack on my back for 8hours with minimal breaks no problem 😂

[@alexandraregan6249]

a collab with mattdoesfitness!!!!

[@annekafrench7120]

Back to the Woop.. Does your Garmin not tell you everything your Woop does? My Garmin does, it is a latest version so I think the newer ones do. Sleep HEV everything. Bin your Woop Lucy and upgrade your Garmin 😊

[@Amavrin]

Lucy gets paid a substantial amount to promote Woop. So, she certainly won’t be binning it anytime soon!

[@annekafrench7120]

@@Amavrin I know I know 😁😁

[@speeedymcccoy]

I wanted to ask the same

[@LucyDavisFit]

@@Amavrin I do work with whoop yes, I already worked with them for free for 9 months before this and bought myself the product. I’ve also worked with garmin. They’re the two best products on the market and I’m THANKFUL I get to promote how good they are 😁

[@LucyDavisFit]

No, I only use my garmin for performance stats for my runs / lifts. I use whoop for recovery, sleep, stress, strain & journalling daily. I don’t really like using my garmin for that sort of data, I find whoop a lot easier to use ie user friendly! Whereas my garmin will show me run splits & times for example. My garmin shows this data too so I don’t need to upgrade, I just much prefer the whoop😊 And I don’t fancy binning it thanks when it’s my favourite training accessory 🤣

[@paulop3730]

"A tempo run is where you're running at a set pace for a period of time" Based on your definition of a tempo run, this makes almost any run a tempo run. Any run besides fartlek running is usually ran at a set pace for a period of time. I feel like your interpretation of Tempo running can be very misleading for new runners. Technically a 'Tempo' run, A.K.A. a Theshold run is actually based of/around your lactate threshold, via blood lactae measurements etc..., and the relevent pace at this intensity. For most individuals this is usually around 4mmol/L, which is the maximium pace that runners should be able to sustain for up to ~1hr. Just a bit of constructive feedback. ☺

[@LucyDavisFit]

Hey this is helpful thanks! But I do give examples for the tempo runs so people know what they are - 5k pace for a set period, 10k pace for a set period, your RPE should be 7/8 or more, pushing hard. Then gave an example of 26k at marathon pace 😊 so we know it’s not any run, they’re set paces, and most people won’t be measuring their lactate as this isn’t easy to do, but yes I agree I should have mentioned lactate and threshold 🎉❤

[@paulop3730]

@@LucyDavisFit Fair enough. I don't routinely measure lactate myself, but I think it can be important and intresting, especially for newer runners, to understand where the general concept stems from, which will essentially enable them to train more effectively. I would personally argue that unless your an elite runner, you can stiil see huge fitness gains and enjoy running to the fullest without specifically measuring lactate. Still an enjoyable and insightful video nontheless. 😊♥
