How to be a Better Athlete | Psychology, Strength & Nutrition

[@paulrowan4511]

I got hit by a van in January, titanium spinal bridge and a knee ligament hanging by a thread. It was my dream to turn 60 and 4 days later win the Bolton Ironman age group. Both you and Reece are an inspiration. Copying your example and making bad things positive. Now I have more time to practice my swimming! Watching you destroy the field in in the 70.3 was my best day of watching Ironman. Can’t wait for your return.

[@jamestruth8235]

It's been fascinating watching the amazing way you've dealt with adversity. You're an inspiration and I've got my fingers crossed for you to get back to winning ways on your return. Thanks for sharing your journey.

[@LucyCharlesBarclay]

Thank you for following along! The amazing support from everyone watching has been a great motivation ❤️

[@AyeTee01]

Good luck with the recovery, this video struck a cord with me. An injury from March has hampered my training so much. Unable to remain in aero position on the bike without pain in my hip and was told thete was a muscle tear at the top of my quad. Stupidly attempted to race Cotswold 113 but gave up after 30 minutes on the bike, knowing I'll just make it work. I've now cancelled my remaining races this year knowing if I continue, I'll make myself worse and disappoint myself with my times.

Stay strong matey

[@mennodellisse3523]

Thank you so much for the continued inspiration! After 20 years of believing the doctors it couldn’t be done I was three weeks out my return to Ironman. My last bike ride went wrong and I am left with two spine fractures. The physical and mental pain is intense, yet I remain committed to making this happen. Your journey is part of the inspiration keeping me believing in the possibility. Blessings

[@LucyCharlesBarclay]

You’ve got this! 💪🏻 stay strong

[@coffeeprincess25]

Thanks for sharing! This seems like a motivation to do things like barre, ballet, and pilates, that work the small muscles, alongside training! Thank you

[@Stickygoma]

So exhited to see you working your way back. Its interesting how this whole incedent wont just make you stronger "short term" but probably also increse your longevity as a Pro!

[@danielmccormack7497]

Great videos, as a fellow injured triathlete I know the struggle is real, it is so helpful to see how to just keep going and turn it into a positive for the long term. Cheers.

[@funkydisciple]

Great video. Great insight to the variety of things a top athlete does in between races. Good luck with the future races

[@yetogoicolea586]

im glad you're healing up and can't thank you enough and encourage you to keep this KZbin up to date its amazing! you're amazing. From Guatemala Central America

[@rmjames83]

Thankyou so much for being so generous in sharing your experience. So much incredible information!!! I know the comeback will be ridiculously bigger than the setback you have had Lucy!!!!!!

[@audrey-annbrunelle1277]

I'm a dietitian in Canada and I'm so happy to see that you included this aspect into your recovery and to improve your performance! :D

[@leemathison8728]

Great video - this is helping keep Katie motivated during her recovery #backstronger

[@sarahs4747]

I am glad you're recovering Nice video as Always Love You 💖

[@sarahhokanson5391]

I’m always so inspired when these videos drop! Thank you Lucy and Holly!

[@danieljung5036]

Go for it! It also got me motivated to do different excercices. Take care. All the best. Daniel from Holland

[@LucyCharlesBarclay]

Great to hear! 😁

[@alisonwilks302]

Love it Lucy ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️ perfect mind !! I NEED the red bull center - can't they do a competition to win a week there ??? It looks like heaven xxxxxx

[@sizzler1474]

How amazing to have gained all that knowledge around training/nutrition. Would be so cool to have access to that! I think rehab/simple strengthening exercises are so interesting and some are so tough but in a different way to just lifting heavy weight. Your road to recovery is also a road to more future successes ♥️

[@cdnnurse01]

Great video, wishing you continuing healing. Thank you for sharing

[@debjames774]

Thanks so much for sharing your journey Lucy. I look forward to your updates & am excited about your return to racing

[@lenaspiegelberger2306]

So inspireing! Tanks for sharing

[@Ouzkp]

The womens race at Kona is going to be the most stacked ever and the dymamic will be so much more exciting. We have Ryf back to business. Lucy leading from the front and Laura philip now showing insane numbers too. Add in Kat and Haug running through the field it will incredible

[@yazminimagic]

Yes more exciting!

[@oweningarfield5943]

Interesting to hear about the protein pre swim in the morning will give that a to!

[@franciscopontesvelasco4315]

I have an issue in the sole of my right foot and I'm grumpy all day, you have the perfect mindset Or mentality, you're tough and upbeat as well.

[@NutritionTriathlon]

Great video Lucy. Looking forward to seeing your comeback! Also it's brilliant to hear about your journey as an athlete and your approach to continually learning as you go along. You got this 💪

[@robertomarin8260]

Adelante y con todas las ganas 💪🏻 eres la mejor y de la mano de grandes profesionales saldrás adelante

[@robertomarin8260]

@@gabeduran8321 👍🏼 que estés muy bien

[@Lescoureursfoudelasco]

You’re the best in the world……and this is how the best in the world recovers. Thanks for sharing….

[@jimjamthebananaman1]

It’s nice to see you looking really happy considering this injury must have broken you mentally (even if you don’t show it on camera).

[@arendpryor4051]

How about a cooking with Lucy episode so we can see some of those tasty recipes you got from the Red Bull Center for the bike. 😁 Happy to see you on the road to recovery and getting stronger. 🏃‍♀️

[@authorjohnwquinn]

Very smart to utilize your time off in this way - very proud of you. Onward!

[@McStoolio]

Lucy, you are looking fresher and healthier than ever. The rest has done you good. Only way from here is up.

[@notmyrealname6272]

That RedBull place looks like actual Heaven!!!! Wow. Can’t wait to see you back. 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🦵🏻🦵🏻🦵🏻🦵🏻🍝🍝🍝

[@LucyCharlesBarclay]

It's the perfect place to get back to training! 💪

[@john12mclaughlin]

Thanks for sharing this Lucy -- It makes easier to take my PT home exercises more seriously, especially when I see you doing some of the same ones.

[@adamdickson1404]

Great - thanks!

[@embosurf]

We love you Lucy 🦾🦾🦾🧜‍♀️🧜‍♀️🧜‍♀️

[@kiiapaavola8629]

Amazing video as always! You are an inspiration 🙌🏼💫

[@katis999]

Great stuff, good luck, Lucy

[@philsimon4457]

Great video Lucy and glad you’re well on the way to full recovery and possibly being an even better athlete! 💪🏻 Would be really useful to do some videos for us mere mortals in terms of more specific exercise routines and nutrition, especially volumes of protein, carbs etc! Thanks and good luck 🤗

[@ajT1D]

Most stylish triathlete in the game? Yes!

[@beatrizeugeniovalladaoflor4026]

You’re amazing! ⚡️⚡️

[@vits-swimtrainingevolution9886]

... Hi there, very interesting ... "looking at the morror to doing things right" - thats a practicable way. And more there. Good luck, take care.

[@iandickson3236]

Awesome job 👍🏼

[@ronaldbear1]

Wow very informative

[@TheNicolls]

Can you do a video sharing the exercises you are doing for your prehab?

[@rainbowmonkMC]

i would love this as well

[@japshernandez]

Will you change your swim where you will breathe on both sides?

[@fernandoarandatur8883]

lastima que no se ingles, pero los veo todos, ANIMO

[@markbateman9222]

Absolutely fascinating! Especially the snippets on nutrition. I never realised that when you take in certain foods/supplements can make such a difference. Just thought that as long as you got the stuff inside you and felt OK during training all was well. Clearly not!

[@bargen44]

You are coming back stronger than ever. Mark your calendar to beat IM world record time at Cozumel at the end of this 2022. Will be the most memorable comeback. Don't you think? Norweigan´s calendar looks saturated, but check them and they have a logic toward specific goals.

[@alainkabanemi]

Do you think Kona will be possible ?

[@josvandenbrink479]

Nice video, you're inspiring. Is there place for me too, i have the same injury since 5 weeks...😏 Keep strong, can't wait for the next episode💪👍

[@rlamego32]

Could you ever imagine that one year later you would win the Ironman world championship??? Congrats 🎉🎉🎉

[@RobustArid379]

I use this youtube channel for mental health posts positivity.

[@periphot]

Ms Lucy, you know Mister Carter and I wish you all the best in your recovery. Say a big Aussie 'G'day' to Miss Lola for us please :)

[@Juan-yp6no]

Stronger than ever... If that was possible. You never left

[@LucyCharlesBarclay]

❤️💪

[@carlbyronrodgers]

Great news.

[@theverduyns]

Recommend you both get massage chairs. My wife got me one and it's so nice to relax every night for an hour getting a free massage at home while watching TV/KZbin. Maybe even better than a daily sauna. :)

[@jordvanvilsteren]

i hope that on one day i can train with you so much inspire im now 22 years old living in holland and still recovering from an eating dissorder butt much motivation and feeling strong reaching some big watts now 5.3 ftp

[@TemaSurfer]

Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger!

[@LucyCharlesBarclay]

💪💪

[@daniellepalmer6538]

Watched all your videos while,on the turbo training for IM. Did I miss it…did you finish your paint by numbers ?

[@LucyCharlesBarclay]

Amazing! The painting by numbers is not yet finished... 😅

[@daniellepalmer6538]

Oh dear. I’ll sit tight and keep watching ! All the best for further recovery

[@tinnie1835]

Does anyone know can a normal not redbull sponsored athlete get their coaching in red bull gym/clinic.

[@pandats]

❤️❤️❤️

[@elclaudiosanchez]

she is so beautiful❤

[@sthi3396]

Coming back EVEN stronger? 😅 Well, thats frightening. 😁

[@paulbailey7641]

Great channel. So interesting to watch. 👍

[@LucyCharlesBarclay]

Thank you - Glad you enjoy it!

[@mikew6840]

Can you not even compete in low-impact sports in the meantime - e.g. open water swims?!

[@jcjc7783]

You need to check out the program, functional patterns. Traditional strength training Injured you the first time, don’t go back into it! Functional patterns will decompress your body and your joints, and will prevent injuries for the rest of your life.

[@jimjamthebananaman1]

I think it was running that injured her the first time, not strength training. In fact her strength training program probably reduced her risk of her injury for a long time

[@Hubertus-ko6yl]

Do not believe the others are getting weaker...
