Imagine swimming at your local high school gym and Lucy and Reece dive in the lanes next to you…
That would be so awesome!!
Your channel really makes all this elite-ness of these things seem possible for us mere mortals by humanizing all of this with all the humour moments.
Thank you for all of this and making us believe in ourselves to go out there and achieve!
I live in SLC and race in St. George and Cedar City all the time. It's not until seeing your videos that I realize "Cedar City is a genius place to train for any St. George race!" It's also a gorgeous place. Hopefully you have had a great first impression of out beautiful state. As we were driving past Cedar I told my family "The winner of 70.3 Worlds next week is staying right here guys!"
Take a shot every time someone says altitude 😂
I would honestly throw up and retire if Lucy and Reece started swimming next to me
Stunning views🤩
Thanks for sharing your training with us!
Always inspiring & amazing!
AWESOME video! Thank you so much for showing your personalities, yet showing the professionalism of triathlon. Be safe, train hard and best of luck!
Loved the video🤩You guys are amazing!!
Thank you for bringing us along for the training program. It’s fun seeing a pro in all the places I’ve been in Cedar. Hope the altitude training experiment pays off for you in worlds. See you there as I’ll be volunteering at aid station 2 on the run.
I like your strategy. It takes time to get used to altitude. I've lived in Colorado most of my life and even going up to 8k feet is a bit of a shock. You will do great!
Great to have y’all in town and catch glimpses of you two. Super interesting to me that you’ve chosen Cedar City as the place to get ready for Worlds. I’ve prepared for many triathlons up here and I can see how it’s great for a couple of weeks but I sure have never loved it. I am glad it seems to be working for you and I sure hope it’s great prep for an amazing race for you, Lucy!! I’ll be cheering for you on Saturday! You will definitely be able to feel that you’re going DOWN in elevation. Bring some wider gravel tires next time so we can go on a real gravel adventure!
Congratulations and best wishes for kona. I am your big fan.
Looking great Lucy!
So fun! Makes me Anna get out and get it! Hope your enjoying the USA!
Thanks a lot for your amazing videos! Just want to take my bike, my shoes or my swimsuit and go outside after watching them :-) Go on Lucy and Reece!
Usually, I see your videos and am wishing I could train like you do. But right now I am totally jealous over your location. Before you leave you have to go see Bryce Canyon. It is a magical place.
Awesome stuff! Just found the channel and been really enjoying the vids!
Great video, thanks🏊🏻♂️🚵🏻👟💕
Soooo, Boulder, Colorado will see LCB having a high altitude training camp? That would be really cool and awesome! Good luck this weekend and Slainte!
Nice to see Reece in a Whoop! Curious to see how strain & recovery are affected by the altitude training.
Drink lots of water… it helps with adjusting to altitude and preventing you from getting altitude sickness👍 Keep up the hard work💪
She sounds a bit under the weather.
I think it might be left over from her stomach bug she mentioned??
Good luck in St. George!
I’m interested to see how altitude agrees with you. I know for some athletes it actually works in reverse and is a detriment and for others it’s a fantastic boost
Omg just noticed you’re sponsored by Vespa (I assume since it’s on your jersey)My dog is called Vespa! Best ever. I named her after my Vespa handbag I bought in Naples airport. (?!)If I lived somewhere hot ie not Scotland haha I’d get a Vespa. Love them.
Good luck with the training and 70.3… supporting you all the way. Win win win!
Happy birthday Lucy 🐐
yes !
watching from the philippines ❤
Altitude training is real.
1St to comment😊😊
You are such an inspiration for beginner like me.
Join to a Triathlon race is my biggest dream.
You can do it!
Loved the video! And if I may give you a suggestion for altitude training, you should visit Livigno on your next trip!
Supporting a local race does more than you can imagine.
keep up the great work and videos Team Charles-Barcley.
Common misconception but at altitude the air has the same %oxygen per litre volume of air, it’s just the air density that changes.
enough to say air is thinner but composition is the same
Congratulations
Great video! What is that thing Reece wear on his arm? The circle thingy...?
Hey @Team Charles-Barclay, I was just recently swimming when I got really bad leg cramps to the point where I couldn’t stay up in the water. Starting in the foot, then moving up to the calf, then to the quads/hamstrings. I don’t know what might have gone wrong because I’ve been doing daily stretching. I was wondering if you could make a video on how you avoid things like this to happen.
I live in La Paz, Bolivia..... my every day training happens at 3600 meters above sea level 😅😅😅🔥🔥🔥. Some bike rides go all the way up to 4500 meters above sea level.
My running threshold pace is 5.05 mins/km at this height.... and my CSS is 1:53 min/100mts. Trying to improve this numbers 😅
I love you Lucy
What is the date of the last training you did in this video? Is this two weeks before the race or three weeks?
Great video, glad to see the trainings going well. What were the results on the time trial though........did you catch him? Lol
She did catch me! And then put time into me 😁 I was spinning over 105RPM pushing 250w on the return
@@LucyCharlesBarclay blimey, giving it the beans then! But to fair she did have a slight bike advantage........😜
Now I know I'm no one but did your coach say 2 weeks would be enough? I only ask because I watched another video and the guy was like yeah the first 7 to 10 days just gets you used to the height and then the work on getting better and having your body do all the blood work you want to happen so he suggested that 21 days was a good starting time frame but the longer the better. He would like the altitude you are at though so that is good. I get that I'm a year late :) Hey I started following you after the win and I learned about your injury and recovery, well I think you are a very good-looking woman and that Reece guy seems like a very lucky guy.
*Disclaimer* This is pure speculation. Reece mentioned during his 5k pb series about how pushing more on the running side led to a loss in mass which made running easier as you have to move less mass but made biking harder as you're able to output less power. I would assume in short distances this would have less of an impact but for the longer distances an extra 500g could mean carrying an extra 1% which could cause times to be 1-5 minutes slower on the run. Is this something you consider when going into these races or do you believe it all balances out?
We only monitor our weight when we are in heavy training. We are both careful to not let it drop too quickly, because this is often a sign of dehydration and/or depleted glycogen stores. We fluctuate abit in the “off” season but tend not to obsess about the weight because it normally always returns to what we consider “race weight” within a few weeks of normal training.
Will Reece also be competing at Worlds?
Which cube bike make is the pink one
What was the tt-time for reece?💪
Which turbo trainer are you using in the balcony? Thanks 😊
This is a feedback omnium
Thanks for the reply! Good luck for the race
#teamcharlesbarclay 💪🏼
Has Reece got any races lined up after your 70.3 worlds or is he focused on coaching?
Team CB Podium is nailed on for St. George I can tell😁
Yep, Reece is racing after 70.3 worlds
@@LucyCharlesBarclay look forward to seeing which one 👍
Good luck both!
Is Reece using a continuous blood glucose monitor? How long can you swim with it? The only ones I know last for 30 min swimming :/
It’s supersapians
Reece what's the remarkable achievement that Lucy has done in triathlon
what are oakleys in 15:11 ?
What patch is Reese using with the Libre sensor. Does it work n the pool
I'm pretty sure it is a glucose monitor to measure blood sugar. I have seen a lot of pros being used for beta testing. Not sure about pool though
@@erinhoril7217 Yes a Libre sensor is a glucose monitor used by diabetics. I was wondering the patch Reese was using if it works well in the pool as I use the same sensor and have issues with it in the pool and hoped that it may work better. O I am a diabetic.
I am sorry on behalf of slovakia that you caught some illness here :( hope you will be okay soon
How's the time change lucy any issues with that your first days in utah, also when will you announce who your neighbor is so we can know if we got it right
We will announce who our neighbour is soon. Time change flying this way is fine, we just wake up super early which can be productive
@@LucyCharlesBarclay nice, whoever your neighbor is you should go say hi at some point
whats your favorite triathlon sunglasses, lucy?
Oakley Jawbreaker!
@@LucyCharlesBarclay I think I saw you wearing at least three different models throughout this video. Representing Oakley well. :)
@@LucyCharlesBarclay I thought you like more the Sutro ones lol
May i ask what was your heart rate on that 10 mile time trial? Thanks :)
170BPM
A local ex pro lives in Cedar City and knows the area really well. Contact Burke Swindlehurst, hes on strava
What is the brand of the thing in your arm (reece)
@@zzzzzzz9077 nope, the device that measures how much sugar is in your blood
Supersapian mate
What’s behind Reece’s arm ?
I though high altitude training was unproven in that while it builds efficiency it does not build capacity. I'm going to improve my water efficiency by drinking less. Well tjat would maybe result in needing less water but you could never train long enough to make it useful. Or is the point just to mimic race conditions and climate?
High Altitude training induces a natural/legal EPO increase. The problem with Altitude training is one cannot get in the volume of intensity one can at sea level. So, altitude training is better done during the part of the season where the volume of intensity goes down aka the taper. Alternatively, some use altitude training at the beginning of the season & this might "shock" the body into rapid adaption.
@@ricksimpson8446 live high, train low
@@russhamilton3800 agreed!!!
Why don’t you and Lucy train more at altitude? It seems like your fitness would benefit from it!!
Well this might be a start of things to come
Guys--two weeks at altitude won't do much of anything for you ya :(
It takes like 5-6 weeks to see an hypoxic influence on RBC production --just for everyone who might not understand that. It might help you with fluid status--electrolyte balance (we have a higher ventilatory rate at altitude that will blow off CO2 and that can affect our blood bicarbonate--but once again 2 weeks at altitude will not improve your performance from an O2 transport perspective. Best---Jeff
It will mitigate many of the negative effects of performing at altitude if you don't live there though! Increases in plasma volume and a few other factors will happen more acutely, which will offset the negative things most others not acclimated will experience!
@@erinhoril7217 Agee fluid balance and electrolytes or at least your bicarbonate
But not RBCs
Shoot it’s hard to find any good data to support altitude training at all--coming from someone with 2 higher peak altitude generators :)
...and your VO2Max from your watch is 78!!!
Don't think that you gave the altitude training a long enough time for the most benefits. You should be training for at least 2 months at altitude to allow your body to create more red blood cells and then begin to start real fitness. Super fit couple!!!
The literature shows you can acclimate in a couple weeks!! They are especially onto something with doing their harder stuff lower where they can still do intensity. I think for the purposes they are doing it for, they nailed it!
From what I read there is a trade-off between muscular fitness & cardio-vascular/cardiopulmonary fitness. Altitude allows one to become more fit from a cardiovascular standpoint but compromises the ability to get more muscularly fit (vs sea level) because one cannot do the volume of intensity one can at sea level. However, during the Taper the volume of intensity goes down anyway so this is an ideal time to go to altitude. Those who live at more extreme altitude have great cardiopulmonary fitness but less muscular fitness. 2 months might give one more time to develop greater cardiopulmonary fitness but muscular fitness might suffer.
