I Trained with the IronMan World Champion ft. Lucy Charles-Barclay

Lucy Charles-Barclay is the female IronMan World Champion, and the fastest to ever win the title!! ⚡️🥇 She’s overcome so many recent injuries and her mentality is second to none, which makes her such a special human being. Lucy took me through the core and strength workout she regularly does in her gym, plus we tried some of her typical cycling formats, and then finished with the coldest ice bath known to man 🧊❄️🛁 She’s the type of role model that’ll make you really believe in yourself so please show her a lot of love!!!! 🤍
Lucy also has an amazing KZbin channel which is a big recommend!! Seeing behind the scenes of how the best do it is an amazing way to learn! / @lucycharlesbarclay

Thank you to Red Bull for the support in bringing this video to life! This video is not sponsored in any way and Red Bull gave me complete editorial control, but they were amazing in helping make this possible for Lucy and I!

IronMan Natacha would never have believed this 😭 Lucy is such a perfect role model for what this channel has become about to me: self belief. She recently broke her hip, broke her foot and had so many setbacks, but she never lost the faith and fought her way to the very top. Her KZbin channel is a big recommend from me! >>> www.youtube.com/@LucyCharlesBarclay We’re rooting for you my friends 🤍

[@erockem]

OMG thank you for this one.

[@yourm8k8]

what a coincidence i literally just finished binge watching all of her videos from the past year then this vid dropped !! yall are my two biggest inspirations

[@Diana02400]

❤

[@elissaclark596]

Natacha sat in the ice bath idolising Lucy like “you’re amazing. You’re so incredible. You deserve to be world champion” whilst literally freezing to death is SUCH a mood ahahah

[@natachaoceane]

Hahahah having an epiphany and going delirious simultaneously ✨✨✨

[@Robineon]

Love these interviews. You get to see how amazing athletes train, know about their lives, weaknesses, accomplishments and how wholesome and humble they are. And then we get to see our favourite girl Natacha smiling like it's Christmas day 💖

[@natachaoceane]

you've made me so happy. I love doing these so much partly to try and share how human these insanely accomplished people are. there's so much that connects us 🌸

[@noone-ld7pt]

Lucy is my hero! The amount of times she was run down in the very last part of the race after leading the entire way from literally the first swim strokes should've been enough to cursh anyone. Imagine literally half a decade of heartbreak in a sport where a single race takes over 8 hours! But somehow this girl JUST. KEPT. COMING. BACK. STRONGER. I watched the entire race and as a grown ass man I am not at all ashamed to admit that I bawled my eyes out for the last 3-5ks of the run when it was clear she would finally be the winnner! (and yes I'm fully aware that that's like 20 minutes of full on crying). I've personally not even heard of any feat remotely close in terms of resillience, regardless of sport. Absolute legend.

[@natachaoceane]

This comment is so perfect. When you fully understand the story and can appreciate the details, like the fact that someone has raced their heart out for 8 hours+ only to have the dream taken away right at the end multiple times, you realise that it takes determination all the way down to the core to do this. So happy to see this type of support for Lucy 👏😭

[@DiuQuy]

Beautiful. This inspirational human deserves every tear.

[@danielaparadela3897]

I love this redbull athlete x natacha colab series, it’s so exciting

Hahaha so lucky to have support like yours, I know it means the world to Lucy too! 🫶🫶 proud of you, pls go forth and kick ass 😘

[@milikoshki]

I watched Kona 2023 and the COOLEST detail is that she led the race from start to finish. To be able to do that is insane!!!!

[@natachaoceane]

Isn’t it just insane? I didn’t realise at the time that she was becoming the first woman to ever do it!

[@milikoshki]

@@natachaoceane so cool!! I also love that she came to triathlon as a swimmer! I'm a swimmer and I'm always pained when watching the excellent swimmers exit the water minutes before their competitors, only to be crushed in the first 20 km on the bike :D

[@trueorfalse5271]

I love camera man Mario. He just brings a lot of positivity to the videos without even actually being in them. Besides that: wow. How is Lucy so humble? This woman is a beast and her training would kill me. Very confused on how you’re still alive Natacha, even more scared of you because it looked like you had a blast. :)

[@toribetweenpages]

Dude Lucy looked so happy to have a training buddy that could keep up pretty well with her 😂💕 this is awesome

[@divyabansal2372]

Had a conversation with an athlete friend today, my friend was surprised by the amount of information about physical activity I knew. All thanks to your videos. Thank you for being you Natacha!

[@natachaoceane]

ah yay look at you go!! you're so smart 👏 thank you for hanging out with me, I'm so lucky to have friends like you!

[@erindrum5145]

Y'all look like BFFs at the end. Adorable. You both are incredible!

[@elusivebutsatisfyingt.9166]

Natacha is and probably will always be my most favorite creator. I've been watching for I think 8 years now? And the excitement stays the EXACT same. What a pleasure to be alive at the same time.

[@natachaoceane]

I don’t know what I did to deserve an community like you guys. It’s been so much fun sharing with you, thank you for sticking around and for everything 🤍

[@djio_0]

My two favorite female fitness youtubers. You both got me into fitness and changed me into living a healthy lifestyle. Now I'm doing triathlons and running marathons because both of you inspired me to do so. And as a bonus I've lost 130 pounds along my journey. I can't thank you both enough.

[@MrsCooks21]

I was about to wake up my toddler from his nap, but ima let him sleep and watch this instead. So worth it. 😂

[@natachaoceane]

hahaha i was going to say he just looks so peaceful maybe we should let him rest? so much love to your family!! 😘

[@MercyMax07]

I love these type of videos when you get together with amazing women, thank you for all you do and your inspiration.

[@natachaoceane]

they're honestly becoming my favourite videos too, I find these women so incredible and it's so special to share them. thank you so much!!

[@sofiairias6319]

Wow, it's inspiring to watch these strong beautiful woman working really hard. Thank you Natacha for proving that recovery from an ED is possible ❤.

[@natachaoceane]

hello my friend 🤍 I'm so proud of you. I really believe in you, and that if you take small steps and follow what makes you feel fulfilled and like you're making the most of life you can make anything happen. I fully appreciate ED recovery is tough and can be a long journey, but you're even tougher. So much love 🌸

When Natacha uploads my dopamine spikes

[@emmawilks4524]

The ice bath was the funniest, cutest and most genuine thing ever. the giggles, swearing and then complimenting Lucy non-stop. Ah i love us women. In awe of you both so much!!! Still as someone who wishes they enjoyed working out and doesnt but has been a long time viewer of your videos, i find such joy in this content and how you create(or /you as a creator) and it helps stay at the back of my mind to one day give properly exercising a go oxoxoxox

[@ellenwhite9595]

The overlap I have been waiting for !! Lucy and Nastacha is the best surprise ever on a rainy Monday

[@carlacarpenter7341]

SAME!!!! I've been hoping for this video ever since Natacha started her training with the pros series!!! Lucy is incredible!!

[@ellenwhite9595]

@@carlacarpenter7341 Having watched, I think its my favourite video Natacha has done ... Can we have more Lucy - the two of them are such a vibe together

[@alexandravelazquez5584]

The shot of them on the bike with Lucy smiling absolutely in the zone and then Natacha dripping sweat (but absolutely holding her own) had me laughing 😂 What a great video!!

[@YHLQMDLG888]

I am loving that Natacha looks vaguely horrified throughout the majority of this video lol. Two very badass ladies here, thx for the inspo 🙌

[@natachaoceane]

Hahaha honestly I like a little rest and Lucy can go on endlessly 👏🙌 I enjoyed it so much though, would just need a little practice!

lucy is an icon, i don't feel worthy of being in that shortlist with her but thank you! 🥺

Genuinely so inspired by your emphasis on athletics and capabilities over aesthetics, I even re watch old vids for inspiration sometimes, thank you 🩷🌼🤍

[@peacelovebutterbeer]

I am a few days post ACL reconstruction surgery and you and Lucy both give me so much strength and hope for full recovery! I'm so worried about losing fitness during the recovery period but your videos have helped me understand it can be gained back and I have to focus on healing for now. Thank you!!!

[@reirap1815]

I've been watching your videos for 5 years now, and EVERY video I leave feeling inspired and happy even after all this time. I'm so grateful Natacha that you share your energy, positivity, and motivation with us. Thank you for bringing insanely strong women like Lucy to this channel! Please never stop doing what you're doing

[@Demiduivenvoorden]

Two incredible women who both inspired me to start training for my first IM this year. You guys absolutely rock!

[@eleanor_lewis]

Yay! Having this video pop up is such a treat! I’m a huge fan of Lucy - she’s such an incredible athlete, so getting a video with the both of you is AMAZING!! As someone who is considering trying triathlon in the near future, I’m really grateful that you’ve made this video. You’re both such inspirations to me as women in sport (especially in endurance events) and so this video has really encouraged me to give it a try 💚

[@zimovaja]

Omg, I haven't watched it yet, but that's gonna be eeeepiiiccccc, I'm 100% sure 🥳🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@Kimbojangles]

I’ll never get sick of seeing you collaborate with other strong and empowering women! 💪🏼 amazing work as always ❤️

[@fairylights18]

Wow! I loved this so much. It's so interesting seeing the different training styles and how top athletes use strength training differently to reach certain goals. She is truly awesome and very inspiring. ❤

Wow my favorite video from any channel in a really long time! So motivational!! And Lucy and you got along so well, such a fun joint workout/interview to watch😍

[@user-bc5mz9bx5n]

Good to see you, I love this style video from you. It’s interesting and varied training with different types of athletes but you look so much lighter and joyous than your heavier challenge videos! I like watching your channel too amo me up or accompany me during my work outs and of course I always learn something but this is no less educational than your big breakdown videos. Right on the mark for me 🎉

Randomly had this video recommended to me by the Algorithm and greatly enjoyed the behind the scenes look at how top athletes train. Most impressive part for me was the fact that you both were able to have a conversation whilst doing these exercises! Definitely no easy feat.

[@runruntours]

The best video ever! I love Lucy Charles-Barclay and have cheering for her for so long. It was incredible watching her win in Kona last year and it's so inspiring to have followed her journey to that victory on her channel. All you said about her is really true. One thing I didn't know, though, was the details of her strength conditioning, I really appreciated seeing that. Good job!

Woohoo so so happy reading this!! How amazing was Kona last year 😭🥹 so happy you’re there cheering for her!!

[@manoelatozzi3472]

OMG I LOVE THIS. This is so strange I was just thinking I wish I saw more of Lucy, this is the perfect combination. I have so much admiration for both of you and this is an incredible inspiration to me. Thank you! I have so many questions I would ask you both!! If you ever need inspiration for a video here are some things I think about on a daily basis: - Do I need to "break in" a bike like you do a running shoe? - Should I try a different helmet? - What are some good swimming skin care products? - My hair hates my training plan, how so I avoid washing it or what products do I use? - What's the best sunscreen for swimming? - How do I protect cuts/bruises while swimming in a lake? Should I just stop swimming every time I get a cut or bruise? - Do they have sunscreen applicators in every IronMan race? - Can I stop on the course to take a break, like when running or between disciplines? - Do you think it's cheesy to wear IronMan merch before you've done one?
