I NEVER comment on videos, but I wanted you to know that I started jogging after watching your channel and I just ran a mile straight for the first time in my life while watching this video for inspiration. THANK YOU!🎉
I’m 29 and overweight and just starting training for a half marathon starting at a nonexistent fitness level. I’ve been looking everywhere for someone I could relate to when it comes to this so THANK YOU! I’m so happy I found your videos
So happy for you Lucy! And so inspired! I ran 2 miles today. Never would have thought it was possible for me without seeing your videos! So glad you are sharing your journey 💪🏃
#1 - WOOOOOHOOOO!!! GO LUCY! GO LUCY! GO! GO! GO LUCY! 👊👏👏👏👏🎶💖🔥🏃🏻♀️🗣 WAY TO MEET YOUR ULTIMATE RUNNING GOAL!!! WEEEEEEEEE!!! #2 - Please edit out any apologies of any kind, EVER! Being sure to pause during a sincere meltdown and film it? That would ring ingenuine, so, get what you do on camera and the rest just live it for yourself, love! #3 - Heat is So TOUGH. You were TOUGHER! Celebrate it! Yay again for Matt being a wonderful support! Tell him to get some aloe! YOU DID IT!!!! 🌻🍾🎉🎊 🎤
Wow, just wow. I don’t think you realise what an inspiration you are Lucy 🎉 your whole journey is so amazing and I often think of your achievements when I’m on my runs 😊
I am so impressed. I could not make 10k in 1 hour, let alone trying an ultra marathon. I have toyed with the idea of a half marathon and this is very inspiring to see.
Congratulations! 🎉 What an insane accomplishment and in that heat as well. The fact you pulled it off in that temp is really something to be proud of. 😊
I never comment on TH-cam videos but I’m having the worst triathlon training session and this video really helped me grind out the bike session. Real inspiration thank you!
oh my gosh! What an amazing accomplishment!! You're such an inspiration. I've always "wished I could be a runner" but only recently decided to make it a reality, and I am so thankful for your videos because they are so inspiring. Someone "like me" had success! (And more than I ever dared really let myself believe was possible!)
Ok. So I just sat and watched this whilst eating a fruit and nut on my break. Wow. It was so real and honest! I hate running in the heat…you did so well. Best moment when hubby says “ you have done the ultra bit…just a marathon to go!” I felt that in my calves lol! It’s a shame the sign posting wasn’t a bit clearer and also I feel they should have put a couple of more water stops for you just because of the extreme conditions…but what can I say? If you can run an ultra in those conditions..I think you can do anything Lucy! Try another ultra again in cooler weather…I would be interested to see how you found it. Seriously WELL DONE indeed…to both of you. It was great to watch!
Haha yeah I was happy about “only” having a marathon to do 😅 I spoke with a couple other runners and we all agreed that an extra water station around the 6 mile point would have been better 🥵 I feel like I need to try another one in less harsh weather! Thank you so much!! 🥳🥳
We are all so proud of you Lucy!! You are so strong and inspiring. I love that Matt ran with you, you guys are so cute together. Good job getting it done!!
Yay, Lucy! So, so proud of you!! Running in the heat is tough. And now you're an ultra marathoner--so cool. Kudos to Matt, too, for sharing in on the journey. You two are so cute together.
I am training for my new ultra and i have gone through the internet to find someone I could relate to. You are my new person to follow. you are awesome.
Your smile and determination are definitely an inspiration! I am 230 lbs. I've run a few half-marathons let's just signed up for my first marathon. I live in Florida USA so the heat is definitely something I am used to it usually is around 90°. I am working on my weight-loss journey through running and strength training. Best of luck with you!
You are tough 💪 What a great accomplishment!! Thanks for the inspiration and encouragement. I’m training for 5k (and hopefully longer distances in the future!). I will tap into your determination as I go forward.
Love your attitude and the fact that you don’t care that your in last place just the fact that your doing it! Great job! Def have a new subscriber what shoes did you wear?
Lucy, I've just found your channel through this video. It's awesome! You're awesome! Just did my first ultra a couple of weeks ago and it was HARD! The training was HARD. But that's against a backdrop of having been a casual runner on and off all my adult life. Your transformation and evolution from non runner to smashing out an ultra is incredible and totally inspirational 🙌👏. Going to go and binge-watch the rest of your content now 😅
Wow thank you! 😀 That is such a lovely supportive comment!! I hope you enjoy the binge-watch 😆 Keep an eye out for a fluffy husky 🐶❤️ AND congratulations on your first ultra!!!! 🏅
Congratulations on becoming an ultra runner, Lucy! First time here and so happy to be motivated by your journey. I'm currently training for my first marathon which will be this December. Happy to watch you!!
Thank you so much!! 😀😀 I’m so happy you found my video and enjoyed it. I’m wishing you all the best for your first marathon. Crossing that finish line WILL be worth it! 🏅🏃🏻♀️
Amazing job, congratulations Lucy!!! 🎉🎉 I love the realness of your video...it’s not all sunshine and rainbows. I have run a few half-marathons, but you inspire me to do more! 🏃🏻♀️💕
Thank you so much!! 🥳🙌🏼 It definitely wasn’t all sunshine and rainbows, although I would have appreciated a lot less sunshine 🥵😂 That’s awesome I’ve helped inspire you to do more 🏃🏻♀️❤️
Just HAD to comment and say well done 🎉 You are so lovely and such an inspiration. I’m a South African runner who now lives in London and also had a weight loss journey (culmination of PCOS and lockdown + binge eating because of stress during immigration) but running has always been my one consistent thing. Thanks for sharing the different landscapes and for actually normalising normal paces. An ultra is HUUUUGEEEEE!!!
Thank you so much!!! I really appreciate such a lovely comment 😀❤️ Running has been amazing for me and I think it’s going to be my constant like it is for you.
You two are ⭐️’s. What a keeper of a husband you have who did it beside you!! I can’t imagine running in that heat. My sister, who is in Wiltshire, is running early morning in short bursts because she can’t cope with the heat! So you two did amazingly! So real too😜. Country side looked amazing. At least you have a benchmark now🤣🎉🎉🏃♀️ You guys are totally awesome 🎉🎉
Ah thank you so much!! 🙌🏼🥳 The heat was the hardest part 🥵 Yes that’s true, I do have a benchmark now. One of the guys at the check point said to me “Whatever time you get it will be a PB!” I loved that 😅
@@lucyshawvlogs I really think that this will inspire so many. It certainly did me. You showed up and did it despite the heat and kept going despite how you felt. You finished!!
As my kids would say, Lucy, you are an absolute QUEEN! Well done! I ran Leeds marathon. It wasn’t nearly as hot as your race but even then, the heat drained me so badly. Really chuffed for you 👍👍👍
CONGRATULATIONS!!🎉🎉 What an accomplishment and sooooo inspiring! I love that your husband was right there with you the whole way. Awesome job to both of you! And IF-and that’s a big if-I ever decide to run an ultra, I need to travel to the UK to do it. It’s gorgeous!
Thank you so much!! 🥳🥳 Yes! Come to the UK and do one 🏃🏻♀️🙌🏼 Just make sure you’re not travelling back the day after. That would be a really uncomfortable travel day 😩😅
Congratulations, Lucy! Especially in that heat - I struggle in the heat too, so can relate to how much harder it makes running. Well done for getting through it, makes it an even more impressive achievement.
YES LUCY!!!!! 😍 all the way through with you commenting on the heat, I was like "ohhh well at least i'm not the only one whose first ultra was in the blistering heat" (my first was Race to the Stones 50km last year, temp reached 29 degrees, BRUTAL!) Huge congrats, YOU DID IT!! Excellent time too. Hugely relatable content (my race last year was 9:36. I've got the same race again this year (this Sat to be precise) although this year i'm doing day 1 rather than day 2 so slightly different route and I'm really hoping for under 8:30, wish me luck!) YOU ARE AN ULTRA RUNNER!!!! One edit content for future - I wanted to see your medal you worked so hard for!!! also, tips for running in the heat - cool your wrists down, they have the biggest veins to be able to cool quickly so a bandana or buff soaked in cold water and wrapped around is a real win! xx
Ah you know the struggle with the heat!! It sucks 🥵😅 I’m wishing you all the best for Saturday!!! 🙌🏼🏅 I can’t believe I’m an ultra runner 🥹 Oh, I forgot to show my medal 🙈 That’s a great tip! I’ll have to remember that 😀
@@lucyshawvlogs I do (and this coming from a fair skinned/burn easily kinda gal too!) Also, I dunno how you managed to run without sunglasses, i'd have died... but yes! Yes you are an ultra runner!!!! Even tho it was super hard, I will wager that you'll be signing up for another one at some point (if you want any suggestions, holler, I have a spreadsheet of all the ones on my bucket list).. and thanks! :) I'll let you know how I get on (praying for less than 29 degrees this year). x
The hat was my savour! It kept my face shaded 🙌🏼 I mentioned Race to the Stones to Matt and he said he knows of that series. He has looked into it in the past. Maybe one for me to have a look at 😀 I’ll definitely reach out if I need some help choosing a race! Thanks 😊
@@lucyshawvlogs lol, I'm a visor and sunglasses girl but god yes, I bet it really helped! It did make me giggle when Matt chucked that first load of water over your head! :) RTTS is a great race. It's a full 100km which can be done as either day stand alone 50km, the whole 100km over 2 days or the whole 100km in one go. So many people do it and there are people who walk the entire things so there is always someone around which I really like (being a back of the pack runner). The aid stations are really good too. :) x
Lucy, well done. An ultra marathoner. I’m super proud of you and I hope to get my first ultra this year too. You got a blooming hot day but you didn’t let it stop it. Hope you celebrated in style. Xx
Well done that was brilliant!!..🎉🎉🎉 That course looked very undermarked was their no marshals?....most unmarshalled and undermarked course I've ever seen....you did amazing!!!.. 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉x
Thank you so much!! 🥳🥳🥳 Matt has done a lot of long distance trail events and this is what they tend to be like. I’m used to road events with marshals along the route and clearly marked so that’s why I wanted Matt with me 😂 He also had the route on his watch, that really helped! Didn’t help very much then the GPS cut out though but we got there in the end 🙈😄🙌🏼
@@lucyshawvlogs yes yous did but I was worrying as I was watching it and the heat was getting too you I just wanted a marshal too pop up from sumwere... 😂😂😂Well done again... #amazing.. 🥳🥳🥳🏃♀️🏃♂️xx
Aw sorry to worry you, you’re an angel! I think an extra water station at the 6 mile mark would have been a good idea, seeing as it was so hot. You’re so kind, thank you! ❤️🙌🏼
I’ve been waiting for this video!! I really feel like you are one of my close friends and so I’m incredibly proud of you!! This is such a great accomplishment that I’m so glad you brought us along for the journey! Can’t wait to see what’s next (when your ready of course!)
Aw that is so awesome 🥹 We are virtual running buddies and that is top tier friendship in my book 🙌🏼😅 I have no idea what is next…but that’s what makes it exciting! I really appreciate your support, thank you! ❤️
Well done, such an inspiration. You did so well in the heat. I walked a 60km charity walk and had to pull out at 50km because of the heat, can’t imagine running that distance!!! 🎉
Absolutely amazing Lucy, you did it 🎉🙌👏so so tough with that heat beating down but you kept going, the route looks beautiful, so scenic, congratulations on becoming an ultra runner, well done x
I can’t fault my kit, everything did it’s job perfectly which I’m super grateful for 😅 I’m really not sure there is anything I would have done differently but I will mention it a future video if I think of something 😀 Thank you so much!! 🥳🥳
Well done, Lucy. Congratulations on finishing your first (of many) ultra marathons! 💚 And I'm sure Matt really appreciated having to interrupt his run to be your cameraman, haha. :p
Wow, Lucy!! You did it that’s amazing 🤩 you should be so proud of yourself. Well done to Matt for driving after that run. My legs would have been like jelly. 😂😂 Well Done Lucy ❤️
Thank you so much!! 🥳🥳 I am so proud of myself, still can’t believe it! I would never have got home if Matt wasn’t there to drive me 🤣 Thankfully 50k is a short race for Matt and he can drive afterwards 😄
WOW! Amazing Lucy! You did it! That looked so challenging. Did it get above 30 C? That’s 86F. I try to avoid running when it’s over 80F. You are an inspiration. I bought my first running vest and went for a 3 mile run yesterday. Had to walk a lot of it, but I did it. Hope you get the rest and recovery you need. 🎉🎊🍾👏🙌
I did it!! 🥳 It got to 30C a couple hours in and it just stayed there, no relief at all 🥵 That was the hardest part of the race. That’s great, you still it did! 🙌🏼 I’m happy you have found a comfy running vest. Thank you for your support, I really appreciate it! ❤️
Wow! Fantastic! The heat has a huge effect, I now live inTexas (from London) and I have started training for my first 50k (in November) and crikey it's so hot here at this time of year! Not sure I can do it, but thanks for the inspiration to keep going.
Thank you!! 😀 Ah that’s awesome, I wish you all the best for your first one in Nov!! 🙌🏼 If I can drag myself around in that heat then I’m 100% sure you can do it!! 🏃🏻♀️🏅
So proud of you! Amazing accomplishment. I can't imagine trying to go 30 miles in that kind of heat. I have my first half marathon in 6 weeks and I'm hoping it won't be that hot.🥵 I actually did my 2nd 10k a few days ago and was amazed at how well I did. Knocked 6 minutes off my previous time.😊

You have to be joking :o I see your marathon vid and now an ultra 😮 amazing Lucy a true inspiration ❤
OMG it's so hard to run an ultra, but I can't imagine running an ultra with a camera in tow and chatting. You're a champ!
Ah thank you so much! 😀🙌🏼 It did get harder as the run went on to hold the camera with sweaty hands 😅
Amazing job, congratulations Lucy!!! 🎉🎉 I love the realness of your video...it’s not all sunshine and rainbows. I have run a few half-marathons, but you inspire me to do more! 🏃🏻♀️💕

So happy for you!! I hope you know what an inspiration you are to all of us 💗
Ah that’s such a lovely thing to say! Thank you! 😊❤️
Well done that was brilliant!!..🎉🎉🎉 That course looked very undermarked was their no marshals?....most unmarshalled and undermarked course I've ever seen....you did amazing!!!.. 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉x
Thank you so much!! 🥳🥳🥳 Matt has done a lot of long distance trail events and this is what they tend to be like. I’m used to road events with marshals along the route and clearly marked so that’s why I wanted Matt with me 😂 He also had the route on his watch, that really helped! Didn’t help very much then the GPS cut out though but we got there in the end 🙈😄🙌🏼
@@lucyshawvlogs yes yous did but I was worrying as I was watching it and the heat was getting too you I just wanted a marshal too pop up from sumwere... 😂😂😂Well done again... #amazing.. 🥳🥳🥳🏃♀️🏃♂️xx
Aw sorry to worry you, you’re an angel! I think an extra water station at the 6 mile mark would have been a good idea, seeing as it was so hot. You’re so kind, thank you! ❤️🙌🏼
YEAH! You did it. Im so proud of you. Even more so in the heat! Well done 👏 x
I did it!! 🥳🙌🏼 That heat was intense 😩 Thank you so much!! 😀❤️
Massive well done Lucy. U learnt alot 4 ur next one. Be very proud 🎉. Was matt wearing a cotton t shirt??? 😮 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉😊
Thank you so much!! 🥳🙌🏼 It looks cotton but it’s not. It’s a finishers top, much more breathable. Cotton would have been a bad choice 🥵😅
You are awesome!
The views of the places you run are amazing! (with the exception of nyc 😄) I live in nyc and I am so jealous of the views you have on your runs!
😅 I loved the views when running in New York. I guess we always think the grass is greener on the other side 🙈😆
@@lucyshawvlogs it defiantly is greener on your side of the pond! ❤️😁
I’ve been waiting for this video!! I really feel like you are one of my close friends and so I’m incredibly proud of you!! This is such a great accomplishment that I’m so glad you brought us along for the journey! Can’t wait to see what’s next (when your ready of course!)
Aw that is so awesome 🥹 We are virtual running buddies and that is top tier friendship in my book 🙌🏼😅 I have no idea what is next…but that’s what makes it exciting! I really appreciate your support, thank you! ❤️
Well done! I can't imagine running in that heat. Summertime runs are always early morning runs.
I think an autumn marathon/ultra would be good.
Thank you!! 😀😀 The heat was just so awful 🥵 I definitely agree with you there! 😆
Congratulations Lucy on completing the ultra.. you’re such an inspiration x
Thank you so much!! That’s so kind of you to say 😀🙌🏼
Well done, such an inspiration. You did so well in the heat. I walked a 60km charity walk and had to pull out at 50km because of the heat, can’t imagine running that distance!!! 🎉
Thank you so much!! 😀😀 Wow you did really well, I know how tough the heat makes it 🥵
Great job, a stranger is very proud of you 😊
Ah thanks so much!! 😆🙌🏼
Congratulations! Very well done 👏👏👏
Thank you so much!! 😀🥳
I’ve only got a Marathon left? 😂😂😂 can you believe it! You are at a stage now where you are happy to ONLY have a marathon left to run! 😂🎉💪👏
😂😂😂 I know right!! The smile on my face didn’t last very long though 😆
Soooo wonderful!! Congratulations and thank you for sharing your journey, and well done to Matt.
Thank you so much!! 🥳😀🙌🏼
Great job Lucy!!! After watching that I'm off to run 😊
Much love and respect from California.
Thank you! I hope you have a great run!! 🏃🏻♀️🙌🏼
Great video 😄😄
Wow massive congratulations to you both that is an amazing achievement 🎉🏃🏻♀️🏃🏻
Thank you so much!! 🥳 Poor Matt had to put up with me moaning the entire time 😅
I'm do proud of you! I just finished my first 50km this weekend as well :)
Thank you! Wow congratulations!! 🥳🥳
Absolutely amazing Lucy, you did it 🎉🙌👏so so tough with that heat beating down but you kept going, the route looks beautiful, so scenic, congratulations on becoming an ultra runner, well done x
I did it!! 🥳🥳 Thank you so much!! The heat sucked but the views were lush 😀
What an achievement! Well done that was amazing. Running in that heat is so difficult. You should be so proud of yourself!
Thank you so much!! I am so proud of myself 😀🙌🏼 The heat was so awful 😩
I would love to hear about how your kit held up and what if anything you'd do differently. CONGRATS 🎉
I can’t fault my kit, everything did it’s job perfectly which I’m super grateful for 😅 I’m really not sure there is anything I would have done differently but I will mention it a future video if I think of something 😀 Thank you so much!! 🥳🥳
Amazing Lucy. I’m hoping to do a marathon soon. Not so long ago I couldn’t run 100 metres.
Thank you! 😀 I’m rooting for you to get to that marathon distance 🙌🏼🏃🏻♀️
Well done, Lucy. Congratulations on finishing your first (of many) ultra marathons! 💚
And I'm sure Matt really appreciated having to interrupt his run to be your cameraman, haha. :p
Thank you! 😀🙌🏼🏅 Haha, he understood his assignment 😅
Wow, Lucy!! You did it that’s amazing 🤩 you should be so proud of yourself. Well done to Matt for driving after that run. My legs would have been like jelly. 😂😂 Well Done Lucy ❤️
Thank you so much!! 🥳🥳 I am so proud of myself, still can’t believe it! I would never have got home if Matt wasn’t there to drive me 🤣 Thankfully 50k is a short race for Matt and he can drive afterwards 😄
@@lucyshawvlogs that was just a park run for him 😂😂 you are amazing Lucy don’t let anyone tell you otherwise 😘
❤️❤️
I'm so freaking proud of you!
Ah thanks so much!! 🥳🥳
What a great success!
Thank you!! 🙌🏼😀
Well done!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you so much!!! 😀🥳
WOW! Amazing Lucy! You did it! That looked so challenging. Did it get above 30 C? That’s 86F. I try to avoid running when it’s over 80F. You are an inspiration. I bought my first running vest and went for a 3 mile run yesterday. Had to walk a lot of it, but I did it. Hope you get the rest and recovery you need. 🎉🎊🍾👏🙌
I did it!! 🥳 It got to 30C a couple hours in and it just stayed there, no relief at all 🥵 That was the hardest part of the race. That’s great, you still it did! 🙌🏼 I’m happy you have found a comfy running vest. Thank you for your support, I really appreciate it! ❤️
Wow you guys are the cutest! So incredibly happy and proud of you Lucy!! Good work! ❤👏👏👏
Ah thank you so much!! I really appreciate it! 😀🙌🏼❤️
Wow! Fantastic! The heat has a huge effect, I now live inTexas (from London) and I have started training for my first 50k (in November) and crikey it's so hot here at this time of year! Not sure I can do it, but thanks for the inspiration to keep going.
Thank you!! 😀 Ah that’s awesome, I wish you all the best for your first one in Nov!! 🙌🏼 If I can drag myself around in that heat then I’m 100% sure you can do it!! 🏃🏻♀️🏅
So proud of you! Amazing accomplishment. I can't imagine trying to go 30 miles in that kind of heat. I have my first half marathon in 6 weeks and I'm hoping it won't be that hot.🥵 I actually did my 2nd 10k a few days ago and was amazed at how well I did. Knocked 6 minutes off my previous time.😊
Thank you so much!! 😀🙌🏼 I really hope you get a cooler day then I got for your race 🤞🏼 Wow! You are smashing it! Well done 💪🏼🏃🏻♀️
What an achievement and an inspiration. Well done
Thank you so much!! 😀😀
Wow Lucy!!!!!!!!! You were already ultra before and now you have to admit it! You did it! Fantastic!!!! 😭💃🎶🎶🎶🎶
Ahhh I did it!! 🥳🥳 Thank you so much!! 🙌🏼❤️
Huge congratulations Lucy 👏👏 amazing achievement 😊 I’m doing a 50k on Sunday with a friend who has done zero training!
Thank you so much!!🙌🏼🥳 Good luck for Sunday, I hope you have a great race! Wow no training 🙈😅
Congrats on a Big achievement 🎉 and How lovely to see How supportive your husband was. We love to see it.
Thank you so much!! 🥳🙌🏼 It was so great to have him with me 😀
