What Can Triathletes Learn From Ultra Runners? | GTN Meet Lucy Bartholomew

When we found out a top pro ultra runner had qualified for the Ironman World Championships we got excited. Lucy Bartholomew finished 10th at Ultra Trail Mont Blanc earlier this year, before heading out to race in Kona and we weren't going to miss an opportunity to meet her and pick her brains on all things trail running!

Have you ever learnt anything from the ultra runners? 🏃

[@lucybartholomewruns]

Thank you so much for sharing my first Kona with me and supporting me in so many ways and be great company!

[@heatherfell_oly]

It was a pleasure to film with you and watch you smash your race!

[@LucianoDevoto]

Lucy is a great athlete and person. I was lucky to share a run with her a few years ago. Very humble and full of positive vibes.

[@gtn]

That's awesome! how was the run? 🏃

[@paigesettar2543]

"New level, new devil" always loved lucys mindset. So cool to see Lucy on here!! 👏

[@runruntours]

I loved the interview with Lucy! I'm also an ultrarunner, and I could learn new things just by listening to her. Great job!

[@louisewells6567]

So many great take always from this video, thank you GTN and Lucy for sharing this

[@Sidali1104]

I have been impatiently waiting for your videos. What you are doing is better than good. Thank you, my sincere regards🌷🌺🌺🌺

[@debasishsen9397]

Excellent interview and all the best to Lucy.

[@andreemurray7039]

What a lovely young lady a free sprit

[@marie-louisekarlander2366]

Another nice video. I know few ultra runners, and follow some of them in Strava. Impressive young lady. Almost think I saw her on the bike in Kona. I also think ultra runners could learn from triathletes, specially when it’s coming to nutrition, even you can’t just copy and paste because it’s different.

[@1603_theadventure_mattrix]

Lucy you are phenomenal!!!!

[@peachxblue]

TWENTY HOURS of running a week??? 🤯🎉 Absolutely incredible!!

[@gtn]

Right?!

[@peachxblue]

Re: the video a few weeks back about keeping stickers on your bike after the race, etc: 👀I spy Lucy wearing her UTMB bracelet weeks after the event. So, you’ve heard it from the pros, keep the bracelet on as long as you want!!

[@andrewmcalister3462]

“Nibble, nibble. Sip, sip.” 😂❤

[@jeffreywilliams3646]

So maybe we get Heather doing UTMB?

[@andrewmcalister3462]

KQ’ed in her first triathlon??? Just incredible! 👏 Although if there was a sporting background where that was possible, it would be ultra running.

[@becmango]

The reverse heather Jackson 😂

[@HuginKvalsvik]

What swimming youtube channels do you recomend?

[@user-bx1ni6zz7x]

Ohooo

[@octane9966]

Honestly i got nothing to say i just want to one of the first

[@barbaralilygreen6667]

How did Lucy get on?

[@lesliereissner4711]

10:43, 29th in AG, 215th overall. Only second woman to ever do UTMB and Ironman Worlds.

[@barbaralilygreen6667]

@@lesliereissner4711 that’s amazing Thanks

[@lesliereissner4711]

@@barbaralilygreen6667 It really is when you consider she has only ever done two triathlons--both Ironman distance and the second the World Championships!

[@barbaralilygreen6667]

And I struggle to do a sprint lol Some people are just on a different level it’s truly inspirational

[@shoutingvoice8681]
