Swimwear Cover Shoot | Behind the Scenes

[@decoeric]

I would really like to see a tech look at your bikes. All of them. What components they have, what you run for tires, pressures. A complete over view of your bikes would be awesome.

[@charlottemoore7812]

We’d love to see a behind the scenes video of how Holly films around your training schedule!

[@arg28]

Video ideas: 1) hair tutorial- how to style/make your battle braids by yourself!! 2) clothing haul - favourite training clothes 3) a day in the life - one of your days off/recovery days :)

[@azyet24]

With 30 hours of weekly training, I'd like to see your recovery routine to keep your body healthy, both at home and while traveling.

[@ginaspear-burrows7956]

I would love to see an off season day in the life of Lucy, Reece and Lola

[@LucyCharlesBarclay]

Hey Gina! Congrats - we love this video idea and would like to send you a signed magazine! Please get in touch at [e-mail] so we can arrange this for you!

[@sunechadwick7643]

It would be really cool and inspiring to see a video of your triathlon road. How it started and how you progressed until becoming a world champion 😃😍

[@laurencharltonn]

literally living my dream life - athlete and model!!

[@newlifestartsnow4444]

Here in New Zealand, we would love to see Lola complete her own triathlon. 😊

[@keepke]

I'd love to see a "how to do the battle braids" So I can get my godchilds hair just like that when they're older :-)

[@Tara_Masika]

(Secretly, this request is for your own hair...❤👍😁)

[@michelleking9204]

@@Tara_Masika I'm absolutely requesting this for my own hair.

[@arg28]

@@michelleking9204 i have already asked it for my hair :p :)

[@toon_8552]

It would be ace to see the 5k pb attempt from Reece. The build up last time was superb. Well done for the cover, stunning pictures.

[@ronmedalie3078]

Not just a great athlete but a beautiful woman👍👍👍

[@giuliabortolotto8436]

I think it would be cool to se something in the style of 73 questions with vogue or maybe some of Lucy’s favorite off season activities (for example if she has a favorite Netflix show, how her diet changes compared to race season and what she thinks of working on mental training/health)

[@andrewhuxtable5175]

A non training day in Reece’s life would be a good watch. To see what he does when he’s not training. But that’s because I’m nosey.

[@stijnnuyts1092]

I'd love to see more about the LCB race team and get some updates on the athletes. Keep up the good work, always inspiring to follow you and the one and only Lola :)

[@zsuzsannamarjai6493]

Stunning, amazing pictures!!! I would like to see a 10-15 min AB workout routine video with an AB wheel and your favorite/least favorite AB exercises. :) thank you!!

[@PackBackerTom]

1. Including your team in the video, the roles each of them have and what's the criteria for you to have them close to you. 2. Mindset, how you developed to be mentally strong. Also, how you deal with critique. 3. Training/recovery ratio, how do you know when to push and when to back off? Personally I love when athletes tell how many sacrifices they make to achieve their goals, so it shows us what it takes to be the best!

[@michaelellison8329]

You deserve all this attention the greatest women triathlete - World Champion - Would like to see a video of you showing your charitable side - that would be amazing

[@jesuscruz836]

would really love to see a video of Reece from a coaching perspective

[@englishbreakfast]

I would love to see another Cornish triathlon. Just like the one you did before. Absolutely loved that🤩

[@cynthiacrawshaw6485]

I would love to see you and Reece inspiring a group of children at your local pool or track, maybe even a mini transition - having fun, talking about your training when you started and why sport is so good for us all.

[@leemathison8728]

I’d like to see you interview other Athletes and people who inspired / supported you over the years - you have a great backstory and a real inspiration for young girls (battle braid posts prove this) - maybe a q&a session with some young athletes - I’m sure we could sort out a venue

[@juliesmith8644]

Love this! Battle Braid Q&A with young athletes is such a great platform!

[@paulomoreira4929]

the best triathlete, women and men, ever !!!! we love watching you race and all the behind the scenes!!!!

[@Cherishmebeautiful]

The photos are beautiful! I love the mix of fashion and sports.

[@fernandaruman6294]

First, I'd just like to say that I love watching these videos! Congrats on amazing content!! I think an interesting video would be on the challenges of the different courses that you raced, and the different preps you had to take to adapt to those different courses. Another interesting one would be on your opinion on your different oponents, and what their individual strengths are and what you do to try and beat them ☺️

[@chrisfenet]

Thank you for sharing your time with us!! These shots are incredible... Being an inspiration for a lot of us, and especially for a lot of girls and women, a cool video would be a motivational video, one that promotes strength, resilience, determination, courage, but also elegance, femininity, grace...pretty much all that you embody :-) A video that can be watched in 10 years time and still give you goosebumps from how freaking amazing and powerful it is. Yeah, that would be cool. Cheers!

[@jacoblock6732]

I think you should do a video on your favourite trails in Epping forest ! Especially how seasonal it is there right now:)

[@erab6539]

Id love to see a day in the life of Lola video and maybe a video concentrating on how you recover, how often you get massages and of course what your favorite tv shows are to watch or movies while you’re relaxing!

[@oliviant2235]

Beautiful photography!, you definitely could be a top model. Congratulations!

[@iana7808]

A follow along stretching/mobility would be great. Watching the Pro Triathlon Training Camp video and you mention you do it daily and would be great to see.

[@tangodelta7636]

Seconded, maybe also a pre-run/post-run stretch routine as well.

[@TheNicolls]

This is amazing. Nice to see another side of you. I’d like to see a video of you going back to your old swim training programme for a day/week.

[@KT-yb3bk]

I would love to see a "mental health" video- how you get through bad training days, or recover from bad races. What motivates you to keep going, especially now since you are a WORLD CHAMPION!!! What do you strive to achieve when you are at the top? Another video that would be interesting to see would be you and Reece doing sports that aren't swim/bike/run- attempt to play football, basketball, rowing, etc. (but please don't injure yourself!). Your sister should do a "Day in the Life" video of all the behind-the-scenes creative work she does for your social media!

[@TriToniSBR]

Loved your photo shoot ! Dream life you have trained for it - such an inspiration- fantastic body - I love how you explain you train for your sport that’s how your body has developed not to look like a particular shape for an image - so maybe a video explaining more about your training regimen and injury prevention recovery ( any injury’s that you have overcome ? ) getting the correct balance of training and recovery and fuelling for your goals . You are a fantastic athlete!!! Great photo shoot plus the hair make up & nails added the feminine touch 😍

[@lifeandtheworld]

Team Charles-Barclay should do a day out at Parkrun with everyone! With Lucy, Reece, Lola, Holly and everyone! It would be so much fun to watch 😍

[@erichayden5635]

Id love to see a triathlon "vacation experience" At a location that you visit and put together a small camp/vacation that one can do their own race when I visit it. "The Lucy Charles-Barclay Vacation Extravaganza. Live from Montauk Long Island NY. Training, Racing, and fun. A pro triathlete's take on how to have a great trip and get some training in. Also, congrats on the world championship, well earned well deserved. Love the channel. Best, Eric Hayden

[@jamesdavis-ford6882]

The outtakes were the best! I smiled my way through the whole video because it looked like you were having such fun, Lucy but that bit gave me a good final chuckle. For videos, no idea really… I’d watch anything you, Reece, and your team put out. Maybe if there are any off season activities that you both enjoy that perhaps we wouldn’t expect if not expected taking us along on a non-triathlon adventure. Also, anything with Lola - maybe a day in her life kicking all your things onto the floor. 😁

[@siljevaule9334]

A follow along strength session!

[@anoddgirl]

I love all your workout, training, tri and cycling kit. Would love to see you try on your favourites or a training closer tour!

[@minniesp333]

I would love to see a video of what you do for a typical swim workout! As well as your updated strength and mobility work :)

[@efoley4151]

Would love to see videos on 1) Holly's prep for next year's London tri covering the kit she uses, training, race day, etc. Maybe some coaching/tips along the way from Lucy, Reece, and Lola too of course; 2) Female athlete-focused video on how you plan your trainings around your cycle, kit tips for women, battle braid tutorial, etc; 3) Your off season schedule. Thanks!!

[@amybeeby7308]

Loved this video, amazing photoshoot! I'd love to see a video of 'A trip down Memory Lane', with a visit to your childhood home, meeting your family, visiting your school, meeting your first PE teachers and other people and inspirations that have helped you get where you are now as well as visiting your junior sports clubs.

[@SamuelWallsJames]

Hearing about how you decide on what races to do would be cool! Also hearing about when things go wrong is also really interesting since we only ever see the pros when they are on top of their game

[@mattventura7107]

A cool video would be a career recap, what youve been through and where you want to go from here maybe. Amazing to watch you win Worlds Lucy congratulations you deserve all the success you've achieved !!

[@jasontoft6798]

Awesome video, as usual. Keep up the training videos over off season. Also other lifestyle videos, maybe trips out in the camper van. Videos about what companies you are working with are always good & reviews of the new products. But mainly dog content... Lots of Lola & friends. Congratulations on an absolutely amazing season, keep doing what you are doing.

[@aprilharper2954]

I'd love to see a sister day! Having fun, bloopers from other filming, maybe even some childhood silly pics :)

[@leighthomas8576]

Love this!!! I would love to see a video on what supplements you take and your skin care regime! I can only image how meticulous you have to be to take such good care of your health while maintaining a rigorous training schedule!

i would love to see a vlog where you take us trough your off-season showing your training and nutrition and how to stay fit in the holidays 😌

[@helengiesecke3177]

I´d love to see more on your recovery like meals, massages, ice baths, supplements, foam roll etc. etc. I personally struggle somtimes to actively pursue recovery and not just training ;). Also, I love tech stuff. So behind the scenes of your filming, editing process, same as what interesting gear you use in your everyday-training (besides your coffee machine), and your bikes!

[@tlabuscagne]

I made sure I grabbed a dozen magazines and spread them around the office so everyone could read about what an amazing athlete and role model you are 😁

[@lauramorris4632]

I'd love to see a video about your recovery regiment, i.e. how often you stretch, do foam roller, get a massage, ice baths, saunas, theragun, etc. Congrats on achieving your dreams! Really loved watching your journey. Thanks for sharing it with us.

[@wecanrockify]

Definitely would love to see how you pack for your races! From choosing what shoes you choose to wear and the bags you use to store them in.

[@simonkearn6965]

I’ve thought of a few. Loved the behind scenes on this one. 1) Christmas at the Barclays, 2) maybe a Tour of Britain - you take your bike or run round parts of the UK, 3) mountain bike video somewhere off road, 4) or an off road run video or a 5k run competition, 5) maybe a fun one similar to your baywatch type IG post, 6) one with Holly training with you too

[@sophiebaker5854]

Favourite activewear - most durable after all the training!

[@rhysgoddard3286]

Got to see a treat /cheat day video 😊 how you guys spoil yourselves after a big sesh/event

[@alexhubanov1526]

I would like to see a video about Reece and his upbringing, his journey in Triathlon and his goals - both short-term and long-term. :)

[@connorniedbala1922]

Awesome video Lucy !! You are so inspiring !!! I think a great idea for a another video would be something to do with how during off season you stay in the right mind set and how you keep motivated. As well as how important it is to stay healthy and some main sessions (stretching and strengthening ) that you do to prevent injury during off season. Another idea that could be apart of it is maybe a video that has nothing to do with your training but rather your personal life (vacation or day trips) It would be nice to see you and Reece and your family doing something fun during off season.

[@robertlee3002]

Love all the content you put out! However, I would really like to know about how you approach recovery, 'pre-hab', and balancing training around illness. These, at least for me, are some of the hardest things about triathlon training, as it's way more of an art than a science, and is less readily talked about that things like structured training approaches. I would love to know how a pro who needs to keep so on top of these areas makes sure their training is derailed as little as possible. E.g. supplements you take, and when; when you know how to reduce volume because of illness, or rest altogether; if you feel an injury or niggle, what do you do to limit and then overcome it? To what extent do warm-up routines feature in your programmes, and what do these look like? It may be boring for some, but I really feel insight in these areas would benefit so many budding and experienced triathletes! Thank you and hope you're enjoying off-season!

[@stephenroythompson]

Congratulations Lucy for a fabulous 2021! I would like to see a video focused on both yours and Reece's progression of the position on the TT bike over winter. I was thinking wind tunnel testing and include some variations your kit makes too, some real stat attacks before/after which would be great for your sponsors.... would be great for us techy souls ... good for you to squeeze out some more free speed.. win-win-win!

[@MsAngelPixie]

This is so inspiring! Also, I appreciated this video so much because female athletes get such a label of being just more masculine and low maintenance (not in a good way). This just shows that we can be girly and looks cute and like fashion etc. I also appreciate how you don't just wear athletic and atleasure clothes all the time but put some thought and self love into your appearance. Something all of us should strive for.

[@MrTopforty]

Hi Lucy, great video as always. For the offseason I'd love to see something like a "behind the scenes". Turn the cameras around and show us the people that produce all the entertaining and interesting youtube content. I am sure they deserve a bit of the glory and spotlight as well!? ;)

[@bikingrealtor]

Nice job. Very happy for r. I would like to meet your mummy & daddy and see how/where you grew up. Thank you.

[@paullacy9406]

Video all about recovery. Massages, ice baths, any machines, sleep, napping, compression tights etc etc well done on the photo shoot. Well deserved.

[@enoquesm9014]

Parabéns Lucy belos vídeos 💪 no ciclismo e nos treinamentos!

[@newyorknewyork007]

Great videos Lucy and Reece! We here in NYC would be very interested in hearing about how you train for the psychological piece of competing and all that goes into your plan with that: e.g., how you navigate internal voices of doubt/self criticism (particularly when they come up in the race), the role Reece plays for you psychologically in your training/competing, visualization/mantras, past experiences with sports psychologists, etc, and how you think about mental health training in addition to Swim, Bike, Run, Nutrition. We in NYC would love to hear about it! Thanks so much for all your inspiring videos! Warmly, Adam and Rachel

[@Bod252525]

Amazing video, you looked like you had a lot of fun. Video Idea:- It would lovely to see a video of how you and Reece met, a proposal story, marriage, how you developed into the relationship/athlete/coach dynamic you have now, how you make working together work ….. if that’s not too personal and intrusive.

[@saanavatanen3846]

I would obviously love to see more Lola! 🐶❤️ Other things I would want to see more is core training tips, and tips on how to get more comfortable in long swimming sessions!

[@amygiles8698]

Fab video! Always enjoy watching your videos as very inspiring. Love following your training and events videos. Would also love to see some behind the scenes stuff- I.e what other interests you both have/ family days with no training, the making a video and edits/ re takes / funny moments etc! 😊

[@tomwegener8674]

I would love to See a complete Motivation Video Only With nice Training shots and Really Good Music (just to keep the Motivation high in the winter)

A video of you and Reese and friends at a football match of the team you follow! or watching the match at a pub! Congrats on London Marathon. Also, I think every vlog you and Reese put out is a photo shoot.

[@carolinechidiac3330]

I'd love to see "A day in the life of Lola" ! Being a dog parent too, it's nice to see how much your dog can be part of your routine / job life.

[@juliafalconer6667]

Love this! Would be cool to see a video of you bringing an amature along for one of your training days (ie they do everything you would do for one day). I love seeing "normal" people's reactions to how you awesome pros live.

[@andrewdavidward]

Couple of video ideas… 1. behind the scenes with some of your support team who we don’t know as much about, such as physio, manager, PR, 2. Behind the scenes of how your KZbin videos are made, 3. You trying another sport, maybe one that plays on your strengths, ie rowing, or one that is out of your comfort zone, like archery or fencing. Love the videos.

[@TeddyFaceFiver]

LCB in swimwear in 4k - This is literally what the internet was made for. Outstanding

[@chavaorta4103]

I think it would be a good idea to see a video where Holly does a behind the scenes, saying the specifications of her cameras and complies with capturing such incredible shots

[@TheAbstractG0d]

I would definitely love to see a video based on workouts and tips when the weather becomes less than ideal. Mainly for us folks who get snowed in for a couple months of the year 😅.

[@McStoolio]

Ah, this is easy, I’d love to see a gym workout weekly plan, tri specific. Personally I never visit the gym, but should and have no idea where to start gym training specific to triathlon. I’d love to see what you guys do, the intensity, the frequency, reps etc. Also, being in the north of the uk it’s hard to train outside at times, so maybe a winter training plan or hybrid of the two ideas.

[@harrietcarr2459]

1. A couples training session: how do you both train on the track/in the pool/on the bike together, but at differing paces? 2. Just more of Lola!

[@Galway86]

Outtakes and what went wrong :) thank you for your motivational Videos!

[@garretthayden7031]

It’d be great to see a video about your upbringing and past and how your life as a triathlete evolved over the course of the last 8-10 years from being an age grouper to where you stand today. Loved the video and can’t wait for more!

[@ruthiepicciotto3313]

Beautiful! I would love to see a “What they don’t tell you about racing and tips video, for beginners!”

[@bargen44]

It's always interesting having a look at the other side of an elite athlete. Sharing videos with light training and relationship with sponsors, government, training facilities or different venues like a Soccer game will be interesting.

[@lenamanger7094]

A video of you guys making triathlon themed cookies. Halloween and/or Christmas inspired. Keep up the awesome work and greetings from Germany.

I hope you and Reece are concentrating on you two if you know what I mean! The work, the life, the dog, the training, make sure you’re still getting the good times in before you just become best friends and training partners!

[@pietervanwyk8529]

Hi Lucy, would love to see what you and Reece is doing on a off day, where there is no training involved. How do relax away from training and competing. Love your videos. Congrats on winning the World Championships!

[@jennywilliams40]

I think it would be super cool to see a swim clinic video with young girls who strive to be in sports competition. Your story is such an inspiration and it would be cool to see you teach the new generation and provide insight that maybe you wished you had at that age. Thanks!

[@zoehaylock4158]

love the vid and photoshoot!! would be great to see a vid where you try some different sports (maybe something you've always wanted to do or a challenge/adventure ie mountaineering, ice skating, windsurfing) and how you found it or how it could be beneficial for tri!!

Looked like you had a great day. It would be great to see a behind the scenes video, who maintains your bike, how do you get to your events and how is it funded, what is your nutrition plan on and off season and how do you keep your self motivated during the dark and wet winter months. 👍🏻

[@mandygreen9754]

[@ab2765]

Hi! Congratulations on your triathlon career so far. You are well on the way to surpassing the success of the great Michellie Jones. An additional avenue to building a lasting legacy could be to consider meeting groups of infant and junior school children as a spokesperson for the virtues of swimming, cycling and running and the rewards they have brought to you and would also for them. This should make you an aspirational person in their minds and a source of inspiration when they are striving to improve in these sports. A video of the preparation, delivery and impact of a project like this is what I would love to see on your channel.

[@TheManonK]

A great video idea would be a top ten tips for beginners! It could be on anything you feel would be beneficial to know for the average person.

[@marcusbruccoleri5673]

I'd love to see an alternative triathlon of sorts between you guys - some more relaxed off season competition! & congrats on the world championship!

[@fa1coner]

I'd love to see a video about if you are going to change focus to short course racing and challenge for an Olympic sport. If you will completely eliminate mid and long distance races until that goal is achieved. How you training plans will change, and what kind of process you are going to have to go through to get access to those itu and qualifying events since your previous videos showed what a hassle you had to go through to get into Leeds and the other races you did. Love the content, keep it up, and congrats again world champ!!

I would love to see how you prep for travel, how long do you usually get to a city before a race, what you eat/drink on those long flight to fuel up and your sleeping habits to get pass jet lag as quickly as possible for race day. Everything travel related I guess.... and CONGRATS on the 70.3 title, well deserved!
