#TeamCharlesBarclay - Sport
We just have to admit Lucy's enormous mental strength. Outside is very pretty, athletic woman. But inside - there is a tungsten core. Unyielding will. You're an inspiration, Lucy!
It was a small moment in the video, but when your physio asked, “Are you going to destroy that pool tomorrow?” and you replied, “Yes. And everyone in it,” I got chills. Sure, it might be nothing or just a small moment, but I just *love* seeing the mental fortitude the world’s best athletes have. It’s inspiring. I know it’s not an “everyone sucks but me” attitude but more of a confidence they have in themselves. Love seeing those little moments. Great video and I hope the injury is all healed up!
I remember watching the Kona broadcast and the announcers mentioning you had an issue with your achilles. That's insane that you were able to run that marathon on a tore calf! Hope you continue to heal up and cannot wait to see you race again whenever it makes sense for you!
Thank you! ❤️🩹
Great update. Wishing you a speedy full recovery
Thank you for this insight in your revovery. Very helpful as I tore my calf muscle in the past as well.
You are an Ironman down to the core, and a true inspiration. Thank you for your contribution to the sport.
Great content Holly! And Lucy, so happy you’re already back to swim bike run!
A true inspiration that the mind is also one muscle that must be trained to overcome adversity. Speedy recovery. You are doing your team proud. I could not imagine running in such pain but the reward is so much sweeter. Cheers
I already thought you were tough as a rock by holding that pace in Kona...now knowing this is like I'm lacking of words to describe it hahaha I feel like I'm not allow to complain anymore...go on lucy!! 🐐🐐🐐
Winning Kona on a torn calf is CRAZY #teamLCB
And the small matter of breaking the course record 😜
Lucy, kicking ass with a leg wound, well I'm happy that you got your win and that it seems like this wound will recover, that is good to hear. You seem to get hurt a lot but still won, which is very impressive. Happy recovery time.
Thanks for sharing! And all the best for the upcoming season! Great races are waiting! :-)
Can't wait! 🧜🏻♀️
Inspirational disciplined calf rehab, showing the troughs as well as the peaks
Having dealt with calf strains this past summer and in 2015, I can tell you all that Lucy’s performance and pain threshold are both off the charts. Congratulations on an out of this world accomplishment!
Running a marathon is already tough enough, can’t even imagine what it is to run a sub3 hour marathon on a torn calf 😱🔥….. definitely a top class athlete, mentally and physically.
Wishing you a fast recovery. 🙏🏾
#TeamLucy all the way
Totally worth it! Very impressive. That said, I hope you're 100% expeditiously!
You are such an inspiration Lucy.
Sending prayers for your healing journey 😊
Back in March I tore my Gastrocnemius Medial almost completely from the connecting tissue and that was b****y painful! I can‘t imagine running anywhere in a fraction of that pain, let alone an entire marathon. Your performance blows me away when your‘re healthy so this is just out of this world! Forget Iron Man, you‘re a woman of Steel!
I'm still confused about the different terms in English, e.g. the difference between tear and rupture, but just recently (two days ago) I sustained what I would call a rupture of a muscle fibre (I would also say gastrocnemius just like in your case) and I haven't been able to walk since then. I already sustained a pulled muscle (in the other calf) last year but this is/was different as I really can't put any pressure on the injured leg (without pain) as of now. Either way, bottom line, running a full marathon with a hurting calf AT THAT PACE sounds like an incredible feat of mental strength.
Well done Lucy and Team Charles Barclay - Fast recovery, you're on the ball! - Can't wait for KONA 2025.
What a weapon! My favourite triathlete. It's a coincidence that my 7 year old daughter is also called Lucy but it makes me smile she shares the same name as this legend!
I´m also struggeling with a torn calf at the moment and i´m getting frustrated more and more. Your video helped me a lot to stay focussed on recovery, doing a lot of strenght work and not starting to early again with running! Thank you!
Glad it helped! You’ve got this 💪🏻
Amazing and you have like 👍 Thant you can recover and it is not damaged. Amazing I mean because i have the same problem in the calf after marathon in Berlin my calf was like yours. After that I was also in Kona and make it the most beautiful race in my life, unfortunately not with the time that I wanted, now I am also in the recovery. I hope I see you again in Kona on 2025 and also I can start and finish again this time with a better results. Good luck 🍀
glad you are okay and wow just wow
glad you are able to recovery back to 100%
Lived that moment Calf tear ten days before Kona 2022 at my age (61) shutting down was the only option, 2024 I’m ready to push again for that goal…. Stay safe out there 💪👍
You’ve got this! Best of luck in 2024!
Wishing your speedy recovery continues.
Thank you!
Unreal levels of toughness and mental strength Lucy
crazy you finish Kona with this injury, nearly impossible, but you do it. love to see you come back stronger =)
2024 Lucy is gonna crush everyone !! - Why ?? ... Wins IM Kona with a injured calf - - > Starts doing strenght workout now specific for calfs.... Can't wait to see the long term results 💪- Best of luck and wishing for a speedy recovery 🙂
Lucy's recovery team is the best in the business. It can be a bad injury but hopefully managed properly she can come back to defend 💪💪🤘🤘🤘
Best of luck with your recovery. As always a pleasure to follow you and your familys jurney!
Unbelievable strong willed woman .....so inspiring
I didn't you could get more impressive Lucy! I'm so glad your injury wasn't worse, but gosh.
had a similar issue which impacted my Marathon training, know what you have been going through.
Looking towards seeing you soon racing again stronger than before.
Another great video and so glad the injury is coming good.are you getting the new wahoo treadmill?
Fingers crossed your recovery continues on point. I tore my right calf twice over the years and I now have a very inelastic area of scar tissue that is constantly playing up and getting minor tears. Definitely recommend being overcautious on recovery. The long term impact of living with it if it doesn't heal properly is pretty dismal. I'd go back and slap my younger self if I could, I definitely didn't take it seriously enough.
Absolutely! Being very thorough with the recovery so that I can come back stronger 💪🏻🙌
Great seeing you on the bike in Lanza - the girl on the lobster Canyon 😄😄😄
100k! Congrats.
Thank you! 🤩
Dude you’re insane!!!! How did you possibly finish the run with that?!?! 😵
Wish you full and fast recovery.
I noticed you may developed on left heel haglund deformity. Wonder if you have heel pain from it.
I got it on my both heels from extensive running last year while training for two IMs. The pain is still in left heel while running
absolute warrior.
Wishing you to get well soon
Running a marathon with a teared calf and win the IM WC…. 🤯🎩👏
Doctor: legs up, rest
Lucy: wins kona 🤣
One thing is certain > Our health is our absolute greatest "asset" and the basis for almost everything in life. - Sending lots of health @ll ...from Berlin/Germany🙋♂️
Thank you!! 🙏❤️🩹
😊@@LucyCharlesBarclay
All the best Lucy, become healthy again :)
The tape did his job! See how Lucy's leg was toned :)
I’m happy for you that you are recovering so well! Amazing how you did this mentally but also dangerous for your physical health. Don‘t do this at home guys 😂
Good luck with your recovery. Just curious, why have a full boxing ring in the gym?
How many weeks did you have to have off running after Kona? 9wks? Are u doing a walk/run return or using the lever? :)
I ran into Frank Shorter once he did a duathlon the whole race injured but he was old school he did not complain by the way he was the best runner ever to come from the states olympic champ
He may have been the best marathon runner. Personally I like Prefontaine. The interesting thing is you mention Shorter's Duathlons which he turned to after running. While he probably still had a faster 10k time than LCB even in his 40s, she would have done him on the bike. And you don't say what injury he had? Lucy had a grade 3 calf tear, lucky not to need surgery. What did Frank have?
👋👋👋👋 Lucy 💪
Can you please share your walk/run program for coming out of an injury?
quick recovery
SO! BAD! ASS!
Freaking tank!
My war story .... IM Austria 2016 ... incurred a displaced fracture on third metatarsal on km 5 of the marathon course (spectator stupidity). Was my A race ... stopping was not even a consideration ... F the pain and pushed on to a 3.14 marathon and Kona slot. You don't have to be a Pro to hang in and succeed. A lesson to all
You don't have to be a pro, just a badass 😎
Am I right?? 😄
Hard as…..👌
We want the intro back!
Noted 😆
🏊🏼🚴♂️🏃♂️
At 2:40 she is pointing to the wrong location.
I use to live in Seattle and a cat from new zeland or somewhere down there broke his neck and went to the iron man and the next year he was 11th in the world beating most of the pros I use to work concrete in the seventies everyday was like a Ironman plus the yelling and cursing farmers in Wisconsin in the seventies worked 16 hour days in pig manure kicked. By horses I knew one guy lost his wife house burnt down lost his land got kicked by a horse and 17 bones broke in his face then the town raised money for him you people these days cannot imagine how much tougher many old school people loggers exc were
Lol
🫶🏼
Toughest gal in da hood, hm? 😁
you re one tough .... but i wouldnt recommend this to anyone unless you re about to win kona
I attempted a marathon on a calf tear, pulled out halfway and still had problems 5 years later.
ohh girl. new injury?.......I know must be so hard to slow down after the World Tittle but, I guess is very clear that your body is sending you signals. Stay healthy, be smart listen your inner voice!
This is the injury I sustained during the race in Kona which is now thankfully fully healed 🙌🏻
Lucy Charles-Barclay is a synonym for "Injury-Prone"!
Still a world champion
Balancing on the knife edge I guess, honestly is not looking great, I want to believe in sport when we can just stay freaking healthy, even pros
Disagree. You're not making a fact based statement in any way. If Lucy CB stands for anything it's do or die, worldclass tri swim and now kona record holder.
@@a.s.6616this is why you're not a champion.
@@ironmantooltime obviously I am not, but for 99,9% rest of people being champion shouldn't be only reason to do sport and pushing so hard that you're injured all the time. What's wrong with wanting more healthy sport?
That’s nothing try getting old
Obviously an elite athlete, but what about to those who see her as inspiration and push beyond their limits and do themselves real harm? And don’t have a team of physios and can’t spend hours prehabbing and rehabbing. I believe a video like this can be irresponsible without the appropriate context. The algorithm brought me here. As a runner I know we all push beyond our limits and we all start running well before we’re cleared too. We’re stubborn, and to put out a video saying it’s worth it to ignore the warning signs just doesn’t translate to the majority of us who don’t have the background and resources of this runner.
At the end of the day we are all adults and need to take responsibility for our own health knowing our resources and limitations.
Go lucy!
You sir are why there is a saying "health and safety gone mad". You actually proposing elite athletes should prefix everything they do with "don't try this at home"? If I run 1 400 at Lucy torn calf marathon pace I wreck my hamstrings. Dude, get real. I'm not going to have her tell me not to do it. I'm an adult. Being an athlete shouldn't be labelled a dangerous activity to be controlled. Seriously.
Editing the Intro was the stupidest thing you've done.

No it's not...the title is factually correct.
