[@PhilyBowden]

Please teach me to swim and look as effortless as you do 🥲 watching triathletes and seeing how hard you work is super motivating, so glad I found your channel!

[@manolin.6597]

I watched one your vids (the one on Mount Olympus) just before this one, both of you inspire me so much 😊

[@balance2111]

Come on Lucy go go THE BEST NEVER REST Happy birthday to You🎉

[@hurricane7800]

4:14... same haha! It's so cool, inspiring and motivational to see how you've just come flying back with a vengeance. Thanks so much for sharing the journey with us :) Oh, and happy birthday!

[@LucyCharlesBarclay]

Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you 🥳

[@whomstd]

A slightly obscure question, but what sunscreen do you guys use for running in the heat? Looking for that holy grail of “protects from the sun, but doesn’t block sweating completely” 😅

[@michele73michele]

the most I did on zwift is 2.5hrs and it felt so long that I thought like I missed my birthday! you did 5hrs like it was normal. nice one!!

[@irvhh143]

She is a mutant!

[@DavidWilliams-sc7rc]

Good luck Lucy. Rooting for you!

[@CoolInOlympia]

Love these videos showing your workouts and which exercises you are doing in the weight room! Reminded me of some that I have forgotten about!!!!

[@imtarsh]

Im loving all your gym work. Those wrist straps are awesome arent they, Really gives good grip of the weights and takes pressure of wrists. :)

[@Zwift]

Looks like a great 5hr Zwift session! Good luck this weekend Lucy! 🔥

[@LucyCharlesBarclay]

It was! 🧡 Thank you!

[@zaneclone]

I'm still stunned at how well you've come back from your injury... It speaks volumes about you and your measure, focus and determination. You're a real superstar...

[@nomilktwosugars]

I always thought your run form was really good but seeing it now you look so smooth! Congrats to you and all the pro's who've helped you rehab.

[@EverythingIsPhotogenic]

We missed you so much! Loving seeing you back out crushing it. When someone is this damn talented AND this damn likable.... How do you NOT pick her to win 🤩

[@BobBob-uv9fq]

Nailed a 42 min miles it’s decent for 55 yrs but hopefully can push on ,,,,it’s fantastic being able to run

[@jensluder1824]

30K training run for Dallas? Hmm, I smell Hawaian flowers …

[@anac5656]

Yessss welcome to the states! So excited for you and your comeback, you got this!

[@LucyCharlesBarclay]

Can't wait to race this weekend 🤩 thank you!

[@geifler]

Man those club la Santa pools are just THE BEST. Miss it 😪

[@LucyCharlesBarclay]

They really are! No better place to be motivated to swim 🏊🏻‍♂️

[@embosurf]

Awesome to see you strong and FIT 🦾 I will be rotting for you on Dallas. Good luck 🧜‍♀️

[@jackmarshall177]

Great insight into the training of a world class athlete. What is the tool Reece is using to measure your blood and what is he actually measuring ?

[@LucyCharlesBarclay]

Thanks for watching! Reece is using a lactate meter to measure my blood lactate levels 💪

[@scboulder1985]

You are correct, Dallas is going to be hot and humid. It is also very, very flat and supersonic fast. Good luck to ya in Dallas. Slainte!

[@garygreen1192]

Lucy, is the blue swimsuit you wear a new Roka one that will be released ?

[@LucyCharlesBarclay]

Stay tuned - all will be revealed VERY soon! 👀

[@andrewmetcalfe9898]

10:00 - Anyone else get the impression that Lucy was biting her tongue a bit when talking how good it was that Lanzarote was both hot and humid - and how important it is to do the run day in the middle of the day “for Dallas”, when what she was really thinking was … this is good for Kona, three weeks later!

[@gavinhuckabee5671]

Our family is excited that you will be in our area (Dallas/Fort Worth, TX) Our daughter is hoping for the chance to meet you and we pray you have a great race. Blessings

In tight u-turns, just use a little a rear brake (only rear). It makes easier.
