A DAY IN THE LIFE | Pro Athletes | Team Charles-Barclay

Ever wondered what it's like to be a professional Athlete? Follow Lucy and Reece for a busy day in the life of training for triathlon, and see the work it takes to compete at professional level!
It's difficult to pinpoint a typical day as the team like to change things up a lot in training, so we documented a bit of everything in this big day of training - swim & track sessions, followed by a dog walk, and the final ZPRO race in the evening!
Let us know if you enjoyed this and we will try to make some more day in the life videos in the future!

[@errgo2713]

This was really good. I can't get enough insights into pro athlete lives, especially well edited ones like this. It gets across the rhythm of that intense schedule. Please do more. You guys are super inspiring!

[@AdventureMoore]

I know! It makes me love/hate the idea of doing it. My body is tired thinking of it but jealous too!

[@errgo2713]

@@AdventureMoore I wouldn't get past Reece's electric blanket, Lola snuggle and Nintendo recovery. No way I'd be getting up again lol

[@AdventureMoore]

@@errgo2713 hahahahaha right? I would get so lazy with that. Maybe that's the game changer time for an N64 for recovery! lol

[@colleenbloeser4226]

It’s like I’m living vicariously through them. I love it

[@drym3943]

I would be cool to have a video about your day focus on nutrition.

[@Sanko1960]

Lola's energy and enthusiasm are inspiring, too! Thank you for including her in your excellent video.

[@JuanCarlosPieschacon]

OMG even Lola is well trained for a triathlon, she is fast. Well done love ur videos.

[@LewisHorsley]

Love these style of vlogs of you both. Surprised at how little calories you both consume considering the training load though

[@davidmostertvlogs1319]

I'm sure they didn't show everything they eat... most don'tt

[@laurenpieper8961]

I know. No wonder I am fat. I eat a lot more and train a lot less

[@708247]

I bet they consumed a lot more carbs and protein via supplements not shown, and sometimes on days with more sessions, it is harder to have bigger meals for digestion reasons. Also they each could've had a full pizza at dins for all we know hahaa

[@corndog1987]

It's the caffeine

[@christilena2011]

@@laurenpieper8961 me too 🤦🏼‍♀️

[@fastantio]

This was so good. After this I can’t complain about my “tough” training days haha

[@XX-is7ps]

Don’t forget this is literally what they do for a job. They’re not squeezing this training in around an 8-9hour job and family etc as most amateur athletes are

[@jms0313]

I respect the age groupers more than the pros. What’s the point of the pros? They just exist for advertising and they all take PEDs.

[@Jdwmaguire]

Thanks so much for sharing this, during this lockdown in Ireland I can't go for a swim and such... 5km restriction too and most facilities are closed to the public. Seeing you guys being able to go out and do these things brings peace to my mind because I feel as it I'm experiencing this as well as you guys in some ways (wouldn't keep up with yous in training bear in mind!!!) But yeah, hope to see more of this! Again thanks for sharing your day in life! :)

[@DevonNorrex]

You are such an motivation to me. I am a Stand up Paddler and even in the winter times and of course not having a training partner, its sometimes hard to go on the river or lake, but you always make me go! Thank you very much Lucy! Keep on going. Best wishes and a little fan hugh from Germany. Bye the way 😅 i do need such a partnetship! So nice to watch you two training and living together

[@r0bv123]

Wow thank you for this! Definitely enjoyed watching, just didn't realize how tough a day you both were doing. Now if we can see the easy/recovery days too!!

[@JeffRElliott]

I'm excited about Miami and loved the day in the life look but the extensive Lola coverage was amazing!

[@gene5149]

This was a great insight into your day - super intense - thanks :) I like that is was a long vlog as well. I have my first triathlon coming up in June(fingers crossed), this is really inspiring

[@MarceloG..]

At the beginning I thought it was a bit long.... at the end I didn't want it to finish. This was great, keep them coming please!!!

[@thelonesculler]

Yes please! Love seeing what elite athletes get up to

[@danieldelepiani]

I love it!!! helped me throughout my entire workout session today. Nicely done Lucy! I hope to see more of those. Thanks!!!

[@juliereads]

I'm competing in my first triathlon next month! This was so fun to watch and is inspiring me to keep up and be consistent with my training schedule!

[@colleenbloeser4226]

I love this video! I’m an endurance athlete that just started trading for an Ironman. Recovering from an eating disorder has been hard, but your videos motivate me to fuel my training and to keep pushing myself in a healthier manner!

[@trihard3268]

[@benfeeney2523]

Incredible insight to your training and all the best for any up coming races this year!

[@AME1337]

Incredible, really? :D

[@manilamartin1001]

This was cool. Back in the day I got to spend a day with Lance Armstrong. One of the greatest days of my life. He trains like a triathlete, running and swimming in the Hollywood hills. and of course biking in a glass pain cave.

[@viegarand7649]

Great Teams! so inspiring! I need to know, what does Reece have in is mouth while cycling?

[@angelowillis7274]

Definitely I love this video you guys are doing this is awesome keep doing them I think they’re the coolest I’ve ever seen so far especially when you guys are doing your training 🥂🎸👍👍♥️

[@sebastianaustein6522]

Basically what I train in 1 week condensed in a day :). But the highlight is still the private "pain cave". It's not a cave anymore, it's a top notch personal studio. If I had anything comparable in my basement my friends and family would not see me in weeks :). Good Luck at the upcoming races.

[@samw156]

The shirt in the intro is so good. I need one!

[@koenlasuy8683]

Looking forward for the next video. Inspirationel

[@Angela-xo5kh]

[@UnwarrierChicken]

Amazing type of video, so rich in different situations.

[@montanagreider6057]

Thanks for sharing! Watched this on my turbo ride this morning. Lola is so adorable and full of energy!!

[@TheBritishActingCoach]

Ohhhhhh do you do the core work prior to every swimming training session? Ah. As I typed that you started talking and answered that question. Thanks so much for this - can't believe I've just found you! Did my first triathlon 2 years ago - Olympic distance at Hever Castle - LOVED IT! Living overseas now and yet to get a bike out here :( so missing riding mostly and pools! Hopefully will get training properly soon! xx

[@sergejkunz5890]

A very lovely video!!!😁👍 It's nice to see that there are time and place in heart also for normal things as to walk with such a lovely dog😛😂 And congrats to your excellent race in Miami, Lucy!💪 A very impressing race despite 2 minutes penalty 💪👍 Keep training hard and smart!!!

[@asheekalahi8952]
