- Hey! I’m sorry if I seem a little off in this weeks vlog. This video was filmed straight after failing to film another one and I just went on a bit of a rant 😬 I was unsure if I should post this but I felt that there is a couple good messages here so even if I’m not feeling myself I’m hoping it can help someone else 🫶🏻
I’m ok 🙂 I promise! Just having a bit of tough time and I know I just need to get my running back on track. Running has helped my mental health more then it has helped anything else so when I’m stressed I miss my runs even more!

Thank you so much for watching! I am so lucky to have such supportive virtual running buddies ❤️
You were one of the first influencers to impact me. My body has adapted and done more than I could imagine just last year. I just ran a half marathon PB nearly 40 minutes less than my prior year PB. I always labeled myself as not athletic and not into fitness, but now I’m a happier more balanced and fit person and inspiring others. Keep doing what you do.
Wow this is amazing to be told! 🥹 You’re doing incredible 😀
Oh Lucy, I want you to know that you have accomplished the biggest goal you set for yourself - inspiring others to get out there. Keep that in mind while you recover. You are SO appreciated. ❤❤❤
🥹 Thank you! That is honestly so amazing to be told that 🫶🏻
Your running journey isn't over yet. It's only just begun. You'll get back out there. Know this to be true. 🥳👍
Thank you ❤️
Your lovely little face was just what I needed to see pop up whilst I was struggling during a 10k today, you underestimate how many people’s lives you help just by being you and sharing your ups and downs 😘
I’m sorry you’re struggling at the moment, things will get better, in the meantime just know that you’re a fabulous human being.
When I doubt myself, I watch one of your videos, you’re an absolute inspiration xx
Wow this is such a lovely comment to leave I can’t thank you enough 🥹❤️
Thank you for sharing the realness of life - that’s why I enjoy your videos so much. It is hard to balance all our responsibilities and completely relate to how exercise and having that ‘me’ time is so beneficial to then being your best self for all them responsibilities. Hope everything’s healing up nicely and you’ll be back out there soon enough 💪💪
Thank you ❤️
Thank you for being my running buddy - I hope you feel better soon.
Thank you ❤️
Aaawwww keep your chin up girl I can hear in your voice how hard this is on you. You got this and I know you will heal well and be able to keep on going with your running.
❤️❤️
Hang in there LucyShaw, you'll be back on the trails in no time!
Running makes me feel better than any other exercise I've ever tried. I have mental health issues and having that top of the world feeling is insanely amazing. I've been off running since February when I got injured. You've inspired me to get back on the horse!!
Totally understand what you are saying. I have found running is the best for mental health. I tried walking because I was overweight and very unfit, but would regularly cry the whole time because there was too much time to think. But when running I am simply trying to keep running. Quite often find myself singing to my music on my cool down.
Good luck with your recovery, and remember you have created a world wide community. We are here for you. If you need to rant we will listen.
It’s so insane how much difference a run can make. I’ve definitely started singing during a cool down as well 😂 Thank you so much! I am so blessed to have such awesome people like you here ❤️
Lucy- we show up for you. The fact that you are real, raw and honest is exactly why we are all here. We want to cheer you (and each other) on during this journey. You don't need a plan, agenda or script for us. We are your running buddies! Just keep being your authentic self. Hope your injuries heal very soon so you can get back to running and doing all the things you enjoy. XO from Nashville, TN USA
How did I get so lucky to have such amazing people like you find my channel?! 🥹 Thank you so much ❤️
Lucy, you are such an inspiration and your words really motivated me. Had a terrible day and thought I'd forget about my long walk today and just have a nap...well now I've cancelled the nap and the walk is back on. Thank you..and I hope you're feeling brighter soon.xx
Thank you so much! ❤️ I’m sorry you had such a bad day and I hope the walk helped 🤗
Some times we need a good rant , get it out in the open and move on!
Best of luck getting back to walk/run 💪🏽
You will get back out there, you will! I 100% know how good healthy exercise keeps the wolves at bay - anxiety being my particular wolf. I have no idea if you are near a pool or even like water, but I met a woman at my gym’s pool - a runner - with an injury. She is water running until her foot injury heals. It’s a heck of a workout. I tried it. In the meantime, give yourself the same love and support you give your running buddies. ❤️
Oh wow I bet that’s a tough workout 😀 Thank you so much 🥹❤️
Sending white light and sunshine, Lucy. You’ve got this. 😊
You are pumping me up! 🎉❤
I have done two halfs but an injury took me out. It was so hard to get to the level of being able to run 13 miles. And to have it go away because an injury just really bummed me up. Your videos are getting me over my guilt and anxiety.
My mental health is also tied to my overall well being. I too am not in a good place as far as working out, doing my art etc. It is like I am in mud, and am stuck. It get this video, thanks
I hope you get to feel better soon 🫶🏻
Hey Lucy! So glad you didn't delete this video ♥ You'll get back to it - it just takes time. Try to stay positive lovely!
Thank you ❤️
Hugs Lucy, you’ll be back running soon. You are my inspiration!
🥹❤️
Thank you for motivating me to run! ❤
Thanks for making this ❤
Hey Lucy! I lunch with you every (most) Mondays. I look forward to you popping up and sharing/guiding and, most importantly, being REAL! It’s like when I meet up with a friend for lunch. Sometimes she/he shows up down and that’s when that lunch is most important to be there!
I’m here for you just as you have been for us!! ❤❤❤
Hey 😀 This is so lovely to be told that! I worry that I just speak at the camera but this makes me feel great about it 🤗 Thank you for your kindness, I really appreciate it ❤️
@@lucyshawvlogs= Brave WOMAN!!
Oh gosh. Was there last month. I promised gym friends not to run for a full month to get stronger legs. Big mistake. My husband nearly killed me. Sometimes yoga helped. Walking didn't. I wish it had.
I so relate to the feeling of not being able to accomplish anything and being labeled not a runner. My brother and father are runners and they tolerate my slow runs, my ineffectual runs. No cheering just forced smiles. It's painful. Especially as a sort of cared for woman. Running gives me freedom. I don't care if I'm slow. Running between neighborhoods and over hills and across creeks. Jumping over rocks and slamming at the track is so freaking fun. I'll never run a sub 4 mile, but I'm going to have fun running. It would be ridiculous to stop because I couldn't compete in the Olympics.
It's so real the mind spins without a good run. take care. Maybe go for a walk with Storm... ✌
Hang in there. You are strong and nothing lasts forever
Thank you 🫶🏻
Very good talk. Thank you.
I do agree running unlocks the mind.
Oh Lucy! ❤
I can so relate. I hit a brick wall when I got this injury mentally. But I made a conscious decision to walk if I couldn’t run, crawl if I couldn’t walk. My mental health needed it!!
It wasn’t easy but I have done it. Those Conquer challenges that you got me into have been my saving grace. They gave me something to work towards. A reason to keep moving regardless of pace. It means that now I can start to run a bit, my health only took a dip not a complete standstill.
You’ve got this lovely! Adjust your goals to allow foot to heal. We are so much better when we have a plan of action. 💕
You are special, and you are worth it 💕
You are such a trooper Sarah! You’re so right about having something to work towards 🙌🏼 Thank you so much! ❤️❤️
First off, huge kudos for the discipline during the recovery period! So many people know the break is good for them but it is so tempting to go for an easy jog.
Secondly, even if you can't run at the moment, are you still able to do gym? I found that for my mental health that did as much good as running. Not sure if your injury prevents you from doing it though.
Lucy, we are here for you and will continue to support you in your journey. I am dealing with some health issues at the moment that are limiting my running. My goal is to do what I can when I can. Yesterday my long run was really difficult and I ended up walking most of it. Today I ran really slowly for 15 minutes and walked for 15 minutes. I can walk faster than the speed I ran today. But I know I will eventually get back to my training plan in about a month. Until then I am doing what I can, when I can. Best wishes and better health! 😀❤️👟🌈🙏
Thank you so much ❤️ I’m happy you’ve got such a great mindset to do what you can when you can. I know how hard it is and fingers crossed we’ll both be back at it and healthier soon! 🏃🏻♀️🫶🏻🌈
Not the same but I couldn’t ride my bike last week cuz of the extreme heat wave we had here but that just means next time I do get out it’ll be awesome. Just visualize the next run being great and it probably will be. 😊
I will! Thank you 😀🫶🏻
I hope you are feeling a lot better soon Lucy. You can hear in your voice you don’t sound how you usually do. One day at a time and you’ll be back running and feeling better before you know it
Thank you ❤️
Shame Lucy, sending you lots of love
Hello I wanted to ask if it’s okay to run(beginner only 2-3 km) with music. Because I have a significantly harder time running without it I guess, but then it feels like that it detracts from the true running experience because good runners I know irl just always ran, no music at all. Also I worry if I won’t be run as well without music if certain situation happens I know it’s a stupid worry though since results matter regardless. But still.
Also hope you will be alright soon, sending love. 🌷
Of course it’s ok! Running with or without music is still running. If you enjoy running with music then don’t take that joy away from yourself! I am always running with music and the only time I don’t it’s because I’m forced not too because an event doesn’t allow it. That would only be due to safety on the day though.
Please don’t worry about it. Get those trainers on and get those tunes on - you’re already a good runner!! 🏃🏻♀️🫶🏻
@@lucyshawvlogs thank you so much the reply, and motivating to keep running, i look upto you a lot :)
So true Lucy, sorry you are feeling so low. I have the same struggles and it's such a horrible feeling. Amazing how a run changes your whole outlook even if a situation is still the same. Below is a plantar fasciitis treatment video I found takes away the pain fast. It just needs a spoon and some cream, lol

Thank you for the video. I’ll be grabbing a spoon now! 😅🫶🏻
Hi Lucy. How many miles do you run in a week?/month?
Hey 😀 It can vary a lot as it depends on if I can get out for a run or not.
