I agree. I'm kinda jealous. I'm not as young, and I've been working on running even a whole mile at once during my walk/run. My heart rate goes too high. And my leg bones ache. And I started a year ago from scratch. Quite discouraging.
Note she called out she did it in 90 minutes. There aren't any 0 mile runners who can do that. She had to have been running some miles at some point before that time. Either way, that's an impressive streak. Def. requires a lot of commitment and time.
You obviously had running talent that you didn't know you had. That's a thrilling discovery. And the fact that you were able to log 10 miles every day for 3 years without getting injured indicates that your body type is well suited to distance running. I discovered my own running talent when I was 14 years old, and I've been running ever since, 54 years. As you discovered, it changes your life for the better in many important ways (more attention to sleep, diet, etc.). I'm forever grateful for that. As addictions go, you can do a lot worse.
I use to run about 6 miles a day for about 5 days a week. And twice a month id do about 13 miles. Then I signed up for a full 26.2 mile marathon in Japan and did it in exactly 5 hours in the pouring rain with no socks. I didn't train properly but it was a amazing feeling at the finish line. Couldn't walk for a few days
This is really outstanding. You have some major talent (to not get injured ramping up from nothing to 70 miles per week in one go), as well as some serious dedication to behavior change. I coach runners on how to have a massive breakthrough in their training, and can say that these two things, combined with a high quality plant based diet that's largely raw, is so effective in getting to a higher level. Very nice job to have done this all on your own through sheer "massive action". Most runners would get injured if they tried to do this. Keep it up and get your butt to the Olympic Trials!
I think that's amazing. Been a runner all my life. At 60 years of age. You have motivated me to run 10 miles a day for 30 days, and from there who knows.
Nice going Lucie! I just stumbled onto this video. Those were some darn fast times! I averaged over 10 miles a day for many years, but these days a double digit run is a huge project. Still running 40+ years later, but now it's 4-5 miles a day at a really slow pace.
I have ramped up my weekly mileage from 30 miles since last Oct. This week I finally hit 70 miles, averaging 10 Miles a day. Yes for most people 70 miles a week is unimaginable, so was I until this month. But once I am able to hit it, I find it is such an amazing journey. I am a faster and more confident runner now.
Loved this retrospective on your running career! I started in a very similar way back in 2011. Running faster everyday for over a year til I ran my first half sub 90. I've learned a lot since then, and now im a certified run coach and a fellow TH-camr! Keep pushing!
Unless you’re from Iten or some other Kenyan town, getting up from the sofa one day and knocking out 10 miles without stopping with zero running experience is an incredible achievement that a very small percentage of the population could do. Even more incredible in a debut time of 90 mins. Many will be dubious and point out there’s no evidence, no screen grabs or strava records, but that’s the internet. You’re now running local champion level and I’m sure podium finish at smaller events. Unbelievable you never got sick or injured once in about a 1000 days. Keep up the great work!
really awesome story ❤, I been running for 475 day consecutively now, I averaging around 5 miles a day, my goal is a 1000 days this is good motivation for me!
@GOD999MODE I had been running for 15 years before I started running every day, and I used to run 3 to 4 days out of the week then. Now on the days I would have had off normally I run only 2 to 3 easy miles those days
@@GOD999MODEcould be just because you run to fast . Any running is good ! The key for me is go slow for the first few miles and dont go fast until you feel pain free. Sometimes it takes me 3 miles just to warn up. I go super slow at first. I never time my runs go on feel only
@@gaberoyalll My "running" speed is probably more like a casual jogging speed for an experienced athlete. I don't think I've ever consistently kept above a 7 setting on the treadmill for more than 4-5 mins at a time. I also weigh around 190 lbs at 5'7, so perhaps that has something to do with it.
So this showed up on my feed, probably because I am also a running content creator, timley also, I am doing a 10 mile challenge myself (done it before also) just to build more running discipline. I am a husband and father of 5, work full time, ultra marathon runner and running content creator...so I stay very busy and most ALL of the time I struggle with getting it all in. I have been running 10 a day since Thanksgiving so I am on day 28. From a training aspect its amazing you didn't break down running at those efforts for so long everyday! I do low HR training and it helps me recover enough each day before the next run. Amazing effort you did for 3 years!!
10 miles is a really fun distance. Challenging, but won't necessarily wipe you out! I like how you spoke about how running made you upgrade other habits to enhance the run. I found that when I started running more regularly in the morning, my usual recreational alcohol consumption plummeted. Not 100%, as I still like a brewski with friends, but it drinking became heavily moderated because I didn't want to have hot-dog-water-mouth, a headache, or "glurpy guts" during the next morning's 7am run. Same with food. If you eat crap, your runs will feel like crap. It's pretty silly-simple how healthy choices perpetuate positive choices.
I'd advise building up to it gradually, the general rule is to increase by around 10% each week. I think Lucie is a very naturally gifted runner (she is very fast!), most people would get injured if they tried to run 10 miles a day without gradually building up to it. I now run between 50-70 miles a week (depending on if I'm training for a marathon or not ) but I built up to it over several years.
You are obviously genetically gifted, many girls won't be able to run 16 km at 6 min/km pace (or faster) even after a few years of running. Besides, running 16 km a day is not that easy. Again, most people simply cannot recover from a 16 km run fast enough to do it tomorrow, let alone do it day after day for years. So I hope people won't be misled by your video, as a runner myself, I know what it takes to run more than 100 k a week. 99% of people, regardless of how fit they are, are most likely going to get injured or will be feeling extremely tired for the rest of the day if they follow your example.
THIS!. But not hating. It's impressive. Just hope beginner runners don't get the wrong idea as normal people can barely do a single 8min mile if even. Was fit all my life and when I caught the running bug mid 20s my first mile was at 11mins. Took me three years to get a 22:04min 5k (Could have gone sub 22 but had stomach cramps and constant 20mph winds)
@@mav3ric100 Are you a girl? Your 5 k time is actually great for a girl (I know a female pro ultra-runner who runs a 22 min 5 k and still performs quite well in much longer races) and it's not so bad for an average male runner.
Wow Lucie! Very nice video! Your story has so many similarities with many other runners story. the running world is a nice place to be in as we all run because we like it and have so much to chair in our passion. The thinking that running allows you to do is among all the benefits to running. As a hobby I was a pacer in major running events and had so much fun with people trying to reach their running goal! Many of those runners did not know how to train properly as such to follow somebody like me who can keep a constant pace like a metronome was something out of this world. Some years I had up to 300 runners in my group as the word spread around about the benefits of keeping a constant pace with a pacer. Once you have a solid foundation of constant pace you simply modify it based on the distance you want to run. Running a 5 kms race can be as interesting as running a 42 kms race. It is all in the pace. Yes running fast is a lot of fun. If you have not tried it yet give it a shot at trail running it is also so much fun as you have to constantly readjust the way you run with the environment around you, running in the shade on a solid yet forgiving earth surface is even. In any case enjoy your hopefully long running career! 👏👏👏
Ive also been doing around 10 miles a day since 2020. Its crazy how similar my diet and everything evolved the same way . Even how i run the slow start all super similar. Awesome video!! thank you for posting this 😊
I started with walking, always loved it and could walk for hours, but i hated running. The most i could do was a 30 minute run and i would be huffing and puffing 😂 but something changed, not sure what or why, maybe cuz i was walking on average about 20k steps a day, but i felt the need to run a month ago for some reason. Anyway i started with 30 minutes 4 times a week and after 3 weeks of this i decided lets go for full 60 minutes 😅 what surprised me was that after 30 minutes i would stop being tired and could actually hit 1h. This week i went for 2h 😵 and to my shock i did it 😊 so far if i go past the first 30 minutes its easy until i hit 1h 10 minutes, then i huff and puff for 15-20 minutes and then it gets easy until the last 10 minutes, those are brutal 😅 what surprised me was that i don't get out of breath, because i thought that would be my biggest problem, but apperently its the aching feet 😳 and i actually enjoy running now for some reason 🤔 so far i'm running about 10.5 miles in 2h, not sure if its good or not, but i do it for endurance not speed 😊 and when i started my heart rate was at 170, now its at 140 😯 its amazing what a body can do in short time, i would be laughing a month ago if someone would even suggest i go for a 2h run 😂
I felt the same about nutrition and running when I was marathon training my life fell into place. I started eating healthier and sleeping better. When you are moving your body a lot more you need quality fuel and care for your body and mind.
This Lucie Beatrix feature of I Ran 10 miles Everyday For 3 Years is inspiring and encouraging. The youtube authors discussion of how she made the time for 10 miles per day and the enhanced details on a preview into her diet, lifestyle etc. are also both motivating and enlightening.
this is really inspiring. I used to run about 10km a day in my late 20s and then I suddenly stopped. I did it for a year and a half I think. I was getting to skinny and as a male I thought it was a bad thing. Looking back though I think it was a stupid reason to stop.
@@zacharylim5069 "how can I prevent that ?" Weight training and eating well. However this can backfire when you stop running everyday, because you calorie intake will drop suddenly and you could gain weight if you don't normalize your eating habits :D So counting calories would be important in both cases :-)
@@zacharylim5069many people, like myself, underestimate(d) that most don't eat enough proteins. Even more so when doing sports. Even more than that when you get over 50 years (one caveat of ageing is most older folks don't eat enough protein, and even if they seem to eat enough as recommended by health authorities, it's actually not enough. Why? It gets harder for the aging body to process the protein eaten into muscle, ending in sarcopenia). Now that I've educated myself a bit I (at 45 years) actually started buying protein/whey powder after realising I can impossibly hit my protein goals with "regular" food. And I'm absolutely not a bodybuilder. I'm a runner, climber, who wants to stay fit and lean and want keep my muscles into old age, too.
Some people were just born to run. You would need to train twice as much just to keep up with them. Also being able to run high mileage without destroying your body is genetically predetermined - some runners can do 200 km per week for months and feel great while others will become overtrained running much less.
D1 athletes and kids in middle and High school you see run sub 5 min miles were born with above average aerobic bases. We're all different genetically and have different advantages lol
Great video. On day 8 of randomly challenging myself to jog 10 miles for 10 straight days. Quit drinking about 4 months ago and prioritized my health. Now I’m seriously considering making 10 miles the standard and focusing on gradually increasing the pace. Thanks for sharing!
It does change things slowly and dramatically for the better. Oddly you find that most problems can be fixed by running. (health, food, sleep, alertness) However it is not a fix-all, just a tool to help you tackle other goals and enjoy life.
Amazing story!!! 10 miles in less than an hour is unbelievable! I can relate to this because I started running three years ago in my 40s for health reasons and just completed London Marathon (can't relate to 2hr 44 though). Came across this when I searched how to run 100km a week 🤣
Impressing, Lucie, I can follow your thoughts and feelings to 100% even as a late / older starter. When you are infected there are few things to stop your addiction💪👍🏃
Very amazing feat! Amazing accomplishment! I was wondering, how were you able to sustain that distance and the wear and tear on your body without having any rest days?
@@LucieBeatrix Wow! I happened to come across your video, and this was both inspiring and helpful. For most of my life I was a runner, but this last year I became very exhausted and didn't have energy to run, and then later found out I had cancer. Thankfully, the uterine cancer was caught early, and a few months after the surgery I began slowly walking. This week, my energy to run returned!! It is the best feeling, just like you said, it is a great feeling. I am going to ease into it, and slowly build up using some of your techniques. Thank you for sharing this video🙏✨️💕
Since November 2022 I started walking one morning a week about 10 miles which includes some steep hills. It was actually quite difficult to walk it. Then over time I started trying to run up the hills. I used to run years ago, but only short distances, never 10 miles. I had given up running, I thought I was too old for it and that it damaged the knees. But then I read about people who run marathons or long distances at the age of 100. So from about April 2023 I started running most of the 10 mile distance but was practicing landing on my mid-foot to try and protect knees, but then I had a calf strain and had to stop for about 6 or 12 weeks. I thought that was the end of my running days, but I healed and now back to running most of the distance in about 2 hours. I bought myself some running shoes which makes it easier. Sometimes I wonder if my knees are being damaged, but after a week's rest my knees seem to be ok. A few weeks ago I noticed a toenail had become damaged. I don't know if that is the running or not, so stopped running for a week or so and just walked the distance. But now back to running in just over 2 hours. I love it. Sometimes I wake in morning and don't feel able to run 10 miles. I do some morning exercises, and then just go for a walk. It usually turns into a run.
I have always tried to run 12 km per day, with no rest, but my feet start hurting after seven or eight days, I stop for a day or two and start again with just walking, I want to know if it would ever become possible to cover the distance without injuries.
It is definitely possible, but you need to build up slowly. Jumping straight to 10 miles a day in this video was definitely an outlier. I’d say what you should probably do is start at a lower milage like 5k and try running that every day for 3-4 weeks and if that feels fine, then increase your weekly milage by 10% each week and every 4 weeks take a rest day on one of your runs before building again on your next week. If it ever feels like you can’t add any more milage next week, you could stop climbing and hold your milage for a while and see how you feel
What a incredible story. Such dedication for 3 years. I understand the sub 60 for 10. When I was 21 I ran 58.13 for 10, which I was pretty chuffed with at the time. I've got back into running during covid and my goal is a sub 70 for the 10. Having goals is so important. Good luck with your next goal.
Love that you get the 10 miles / 60 min thing... it's such a good feeling to crack that hour window covering 10 miles :). sub 70 for 10 is also an awesome feat! to me, any pace sub 7 held for 10 is SOLID.
Thank you. I've achieved my first target of the year sub 20 5k, now I would like sub 19. I live on the south coast in England. Where we just so happen to have the biggest 10 mile road race in the world (I believe). So I will try to achieve the sub 70 then. But it's harder in your 50s to be quick. Keep running 🏃♀️
Not a normal case because you were naturally gifted. Some people are born with above average aerobic ability. Had you done track or cross country in school you'd have gone far in that world. I am a fit guy and have been all my life. 6ft 180lbs. Could do 100meters in 11s and 40yd in 4.4s during my H.S football era. Could not run a mile without stopping and all my friends were wondering wtf was wrong with me. Picked up running in mid 20s with same stats because I wanted to join the military and had to do C25K to break 3 miles. Took me a year to do my first long run of 10miles and that took 120min not 90 lol. I now hover around 6min flat for an all out mile but no way I can keep that pace for 5 or even 10 miles right now lol. Good for you though!
I had my vo2 max tested when I was younger / before I was a running and it was poor + nothing exceptional. My parents are not athletes and I could hardly run a mile in high school. Makes me wonder if this were true - if it was genetic - how/why that never showed up younger.
Running 10 miles in under an hour for a female runner who has not even done structured training is exceptional. I also don't think many beginner runners could just run 10 miles every single day without getting injured. I think you have to be genetically gifted to qualify for the Olympic trials (as well as of course hard training, dedication and an athletes life style), you must be in the top 100 runners in the country.
honestly great question. I don't know why i got so attached to 10 but felt like it was both really hard but not too hard at the same time... i think it was that the first time i ever ran 10 straight i felt like that was so huge and i felt so accomplished i wanted to keep doing that exact thing for as long as i could, or until it fit neatly into just an hour of running. other than that, it's kind of arbitrary i guess!
Awesome story, I can relate to so much of your journey and how running shaped your life, I just don't have the speed that you do, but love it still! Earned my sub! All the best going forward!
Trigger warning, if you have the tendency to be Addicted to exercise or anything. This is not the video for you. Including myself. Good for you though.
Long term,I have doubts my body could take it if I did that much distance. I think there is an optimum amount. You do less than that, you miss out on some health benefits. You do more, then the bad effects outweigh the good ones. Supposedly Eliud Kipchoge is now running 20 miles/day and somehow it is working for him. That boggles my mind. I'm confident if I did 20/day my body would be breaking down more than this would be building it up, so the net effect would be negative. But I suspect if you are younger and built lighter then your body can take more miles. Looks like both you and Kipchoge are built pretty light.
NO, running 10 miles on a treadmill is NOT actually running10 miles. When you run on the street you are actually moving your body-weight but when you run on a treadmill you are just lifting up your feet over a moving conveyor belt.
Also, do you have experience with the same conversions? I know many runners who use the treadmill how I do as pacers and it is pretty amazing how accurate it is.
@CaneFu spot on ! u r absolutely right....I've been into long distance running for years now & when I tried treadmill it felt like running with giant springs on - too easy
@@LucieBeatrix I am a runner and don't need "conversions" to know that it FEELS so much easier to run on a treadmill than it does in the street. You are deluding yourself if you think running in place on a treadmill is the same as actually moving your body-weight across the ground. Sure, you can get a workout on a treadmill but I'm not saying you can't; I am saying it isn't as good.
running is hard work. it's not something that is a quick fix. to me an addiction = compulsive action that subtracts value from your life; something like smoking or drugs that could be appealing temporarily because they provide and immediate relief to pain but cause suffering long term versus something like running that is hard immediately but provide relief long term.
If she was actually an addict she would not be able to manage herself and inevitably end up biting more than she can chew. Her approach is VERY sustainable, especially as she has gotten more experience. She has a systematic yet flexible training program that gives her specific goals to work towards and evidence-based means to achieve them, yet she also can adapt flexibly by listening to her body to make sure it has the fuel, recovery and care it needs. It did not derail her career, mess up her relationships, drain her finances, or harm her body. That is NOT characteristic of someone in the throes of an addiction. An active addict will push well past their limits and treat their life and body like trash. They will struggle delaying their gratification. They will never have “enough”, not due to calculated ambition but because of unchecked compulsion. They will hide it for as long as possible but eventually it will disrupt their functioning in personal and professional domains if left unchecked.
I just did 10 miles on the treadmill, my pace was 20 mins, I did 3hrs 30mins… I’m going back for 2hrs for 10 miles , I know I can do it in a shorter time. I didn’t ran all the way, I jog, run, walked and take breaks 😂
you're beautiful. I also like to run 10 miles a day, currently doing 30 miles a week but I do some 70 mile weeks and i agree you’re forced to learn how to be more effective with your time and inputs(food). I run up torrey pines and back... usually low 8min miles. I live in San Diego so weather is great for running.
Running 10 burns like 1000+ calories and you need like to burn like 3500 to lose 1 pound of pure fat so you can lose alot of weight in a month if you go on a calorie deficit and run that much
Running 10 miles a day won't lose weight as your body will demand you to eat more. And usually people who do 10mile a day for a while probably in shape already and body will try to stay equilibrium. Going against the body and try to eat less will jeopardize running performance and lead to injury.
You’re running too much and/or not eating enough. Sorry if this sounds judgmental, but it seems like an exercise addiction/body image issue. You need muscle to be healthy a functional in order to avoid injury and disability as you get older. You may think you don’t need it now, but when you age you’ll lose what little muscle you have unless you start eating and strength training. I’m sure your heart is really healthy now and I hope you keep up your training, but please eat and add some weight training to optimize your health and project a healthy image to younger girls! th-cam.com/video/W1eGSayIxyE/w-d-xo.html
The fact that you didn't get injured from going 0 to 10 miles every day is mind boggling. Kudos to you!

So I hope people won't be misled by your video, as a runner myself, I know what it takes to run more than 100 k a week. 99% of people, regardless of how fit they are, are most likely going to get injured or will be feeling extremely tired for the rest of the day if they follow your example.
THIS!. But not hating. It's impressive. Just hope beginner runners don't get the wrong idea as normal people can barely do a single 8min mile if even. Was fit all my life and when I caught the running bug mid 20s my first mile was at 11mins. Took me three years to get a 22:04min 5k (Could have gone sub 22 but had stomach cramps and constant 20mph winds)
@@mav3ric100 Are you a girl? Your 5 k time is actually great for a girl (I know a female pro ultra-runner who runs a 22 min 5 k and still performs quite well in much longer races) and it's not so bad for an average male runner.
wow, that is pretty amazing from zero to a potential Olympic Qualifier in less that 4 years
This is freakin' awesome! You have a really good attitude. Happy running from a fellow runner!
Wow Lucie! Very nice video! Your story has so many similarities with many other runners story. the running world is a nice place to be in as we all run because we like it and have so much to chair in our passion. The thinking that running allows you to do is among all the benefits to running. As a hobby I was a pacer in major running events and had so much fun with people trying to reach their running goal! Many of those runners did not know how to train properly as such to follow somebody like me who can keep a constant pace like a metronome was something out of this world. Some years I had up to 300 runners in my group as the word spread around about the benefits of keeping a constant pace with a pacer. Once you have a solid foundation of constant pace you simply modify it based on the distance you want to run. Running a 5 kms race can be as interesting as running a 42 kms race. It is all in the pace. Yes running fast is a lot of fun. If you have not tried it yet give it a shot at trail running it is also so much fun as you have to constantly readjust the way you run with the environment around you, running in the shade on a solid yet forgiving earth surface is even. In any case enjoy your hopefully long running career! 👏👏👏
Ive also been doing around 10 miles a day since 2020. Its crazy how similar my diet and everything evolved the same way . Even how i run the slow start all super similar. Awesome video!! thank you for posting this 😊
You run faster then me, I'm doing about 1 hour 15 min or so
I ran and walked 24 miles at a school track alone … for no reason .. took me like 8 hours lol
Im happy to see new running channels people dont know how addictive running is
Very impressive. So much acquired knowledge so young , congrats.
I started with walking, always loved it and could walk for hours, but i hated running. The most i could do was a 30 minute run and i would be huffing and puffing 😂 but something changed, not sure what or why, maybe cuz i was walking on average about 20k steps a day, but i felt the need to run a month ago for some reason. Anyway i started with 30 minutes 4 times a week and after 3 weeks of this i decided lets go for full 60 minutes 😅 what surprised me was that after 30 minutes i would stop being tired and could actually hit 1h. This week i went for 2h 😵 and to my shock i did it 😊 so far if i go past the first 30 minutes its easy until i hit 1h 10 minutes, then i huff and puff for 15-20 minutes and then it gets easy until the last 10 minutes, those are brutal 😅 what surprised me was that i don't get out of breath, because i thought that would be my biggest problem, but apperently its the aching feet 😳 and i actually enjoy running now for some reason 🤔 so far i'm running about 10.5 miles in 2h, not sure if its good or not, but i do it for endurance not speed 😊 and when i started my heart rate was at 170, now its at 140 😯 its amazing what a body can do in short time, i would be laughing a month ago if someone would even suggest i go for a 2h run 😂
I felt the same about nutrition and running when I was marathon training my life fell into place. I started eating healthier and sleeping better. When you are moving your body a lot more you need quality fuel and care for your body and mind.
This Lucie Beatrix feature of I Ran 10 miles Everyday For 3 Years is inspiring and encouraging. The youtube authors discussion of how she made the time for 10 miles per day and the enhanced details on a preview into her diet, lifestyle etc. are also both motivating and enlightening.
this is really inspiring. I used to run about 10km a day in my late 20s and then I suddenly stopped. I did it for a year and a half I think. I was getting to skinny and as a male I thought it was a bad thing. Looking back though I think it was a stupid reason to stop.
Never too late to start it up again!
Running 10km everyday currently too and got too skinny 😂how can I prevent that ?
@@zacharylim5069 "how can I prevent that ?" Weight training and eating well. However this can backfire when you stop running everyday, because you calorie intake will drop suddenly and you could gain weight if you don't normalize your eating habits :D So counting calories would be important in both cases :-)
@@zacharylim5069many people, like myself, underestimate(d) that most don't eat enough proteins. Even more so when doing sports. Even more than that when you get over 50 years (one caveat of ageing is most older folks don't eat enough protein, and even if they seem to eat enough as recommended by health authorities, it's actually not enough. Why? It gets harder for the aging body to process the protein eaten into muscle, ending in sarcopenia). Now that I've educated myself a bit I (at 45 years) actually started buying protein/whey powder after realising I can impossibly hit my protein goals with "regular" food. And I'm absolutely not a bodybuilder. I'm a runner, climber, who wants to stay fit and lean and want keep my muscles into old age, too.
I tried to run 10 miles once... it was so tough, idk how you did it for so many years

Some people were just born to run. You would need to train twice as much just to keep up with them.
Also being able to run high mileage without destroying your body is genetically predetermined - some runners can do 200 km per week for months and feel great while others will become overtrained running much less.
D1 athletes and kids in middle and High school you see run sub 5 min miles were born with above average aerobic bases. We're all different genetically and have different advantages lol
You ran 16k at 5:30 pace on your first time taking running seriously O_O Damn. What a start.
running 10 miles per day for 3 years is like you have found your personal meaning of life
Great video. On day 8 of randomly challenging myself to jog 10 miles for 10 straight days. Quit drinking about 4 months ago and prioritized my health. Now I’m seriously considering making 10 miles the standard and focusing on gradually increasing the pace. Thanks for sharing!
Way to go, what a journey!!! Awesome video.
It does change things slowly and dramatically for the better. Oddly you find that most problems can be fixed by running. (health, food, sleep, alertness) However it is not a fix-all, just a tool to help you tackle other goals and enjoy life.
You are amazing! 10 miles really breaks me down. I’m at 7 miles per day but 10-12 miles a day at minimum is my ultimate goal.
Amazing story!!! 10 miles in less than an hour is unbelievable! I can relate to this because I started running three years ago in my 40s for health reasons and just completed London Marathon (can't relate to 2hr 44 though). Came across this when I searched how to run 100km a week 🤣
Really great job and congratulations! 10 miles it’s a very “long distance” to run every single day. Strong and powerful
I ran over 10 miles ever day for one year! Three is amazing! Well done!
overall it made your quality of life increase! thanks for sharing love!
Impressing, Lucie, I can follow your thoughts and feelings to 100% even as a late / older starter. When you are infected there are few things to stop your addiction💪👍🏃
Wow this is so inspiring
tysm just be fast just win
I love being in love with running. I never thought I'd say that until 2 years ago. I'm 48 now and I never want to go a day without running. :)
Late to the game here but you are so impressive! Love your story!
thank you
I’ve been running for a year and doing 10 minutes on the treadmill whilst going 8mph really helps with endurance in everyday activities.
Very amazing feat! Amazing accomplishment! I was wondering, how were you able to sustain that distance and the wear and tear on your body without having any rest days?
I think it’s because I ran slow enough on my easy days :)
@@LucieBeatrix Wow! I happened to come across your video, and this was both inspiring and helpful. For most of my life I was a runner, but this last year I became very exhausted and didn't have energy to run, and then later found out I had cancer. Thankfully, the uterine cancer was caught early, and a few months after the surgery I began slowly walking. This week, my energy to run returned!! It is the best feeling, just like you said, it is a great feeling. I am going to ease into it, and slowly build up using some of your techniques. Thank you for sharing this video🙏✨️💕
Taking a rest day.Yesterday kicked my ass rucking with a backpack 11 miles.Getting enough sleep is often tough.
Since November 2022 I started walking one morning a week about 10 miles which includes some steep hills. It was actually quite difficult to walk it. Then over time I started trying to run up the hills. I used to run years ago, but only short distances, never 10 miles. I had given up running, I thought I was too old for it and that it damaged the knees. But then I read about people who run marathons or long distances at the age of 100. So from about April 2023 I started running most of the 10 mile distance but was practicing landing on my mid-foot to try and protect knees, but then I had a calf strain and had to stop for about 6 or 12 weeks. I thought that was the end of my running days, but I healed and now back to running most of the distance in about 2 hours. I bought myself some running shoes which makes it easier. Sometimes I wonder if my knees are being damaged, but after a week's rest my knees seem to be ok. A few weeks ago I noticed a toenail had become damaged. I don't know if that is the running or not, so stopped running for a week or so and just walked the distance. But now back to running in just over 2 hours. I love it. Sometimes I wake in morning and don't feel able to run 10 miles. I do some morning exercises, and then just go for a walk. It usually turns into a run.
Wow, some serious progression here and lots ofgood tips. Well done.
Thanks so much!!
Thanks for sharing! Lots of great insights in this video
Thank you!!
I have always tried to run 12 km per day, with no rest, but my feet start hurting after seven or eight days, I stop for a day or two and start again with just walking, I want to know if it would ever become possible to cover the distance without injuries.
It is definitely possible, but you need to build up slowly. Jumping straight to 10 miles a day in this video was definitely an outlier. I’d say what you should probably do is start at a lower milage like 5k and try running that every day for 3-4 weeks and if that feels fine, then increase your weekly milage by 10% each week and every 4 weeks take a rest day on one of your runs before building again on your next week. If it ever feels like you can’t add any more milage next week, you could stop climbing and hold your milage for a while and see how you feel
10 miles? Gurl you crazy. I'm really struggling with 9mi rn (coz that gets me 100km/week) and I'm only 3 weeks in
Can you share your favorite running shoes? 👠 👠

Just subscribed to your channel after watching this video about running 🏃♀️ 10 miles. 😊
You are an athlete without realizing you are ❤😂
Thank you 🙏🏻
What a incredible story.
Such dedication for 3 years. I understand the sub 60 for 10.
When I was 21 I ran 58.13 for 10, which I was pretty chuffed with at the time.
I've got back into running during covid and my goal is a sub 70 for the 10.
Having goals is so important. Good luck with your next goal.
Love that you get the 10 miles / 60 min thing... it's such a good feeling to crack that hour window covering 10 miles :). sub 70 for 10 is also an awesome feat! to me, any pace sub 7 held for 10 is SOLID.
Thank you.
I've achieved my first target of the year sub 20 5k, now I would like sub 19. I live on the south coast in England. Where we just so happen to have the biggest 10 mile road race in the world (I believe).
So I will try to achieve the sub 70 then.
But it's harder in your 50s to be quick.
Keep running 🏃♀️
Not a normal case because you were naturally gifted. Some people are born with above average aerobic ability. Had you done track or cross country in school you'd have gone far in that world.
I am a fit guy and have been all my life. 6ft 180lbs. Could do 100meters in 11s and 40yd in 4.4s during my H.S football era. Could not run a mile without stopping and all my friends were wondering wtf was wrong with me. Picked up running in mid 20s with same stats because I wanted to join the military and had to do C25K to break 3 miles. Took me a year to do my first long run of 10miles and that took 120min not 90 lol. I now hover around 6min flat for an all out mile but no way I can keep that pace for 5 or even 10 miles right now lol. Good for you though!
I had my vo2 max tested when I was younger / before I was a running and it was poor + nothing exceptional. My parents are not athletes and I could hardly run a mile in high school. Makes me wonder if this were true - if it was genetic - how/why that never showed up younger.
Running 10 miles in under an hour for a female runner who has not even done structured training is exceptional. I also don't think many beginner runners could just run 10 miles every single day without getting injured. I think you have to be genetically gifted to qualify for the Olympic trials (as well as of course hard training, dedication and an athletes life style), you must be in the top 100 runners in the country.
She is really lean. Makes a massive difference.
@@stargazerbird I agree, it makes a huge difference, but it's not enough to be lean , you also need to have a natural talent for running
@@LucieBeatrix Nothing to do with High V02 max at all. Lactate threshold is where it's at.
Main question I have is, why 10 miles? What made you choose 10 over 8 or 9 or 60/75 mins?
honestly great question. I don't know why i got so attached to 10 but felt like it was both really hard but not too hard at the same time... i think it was that the first time i ever ran 10 straight i felt like that was so huge and i felt so accomplished i wanted to keep doing that exact thing for as long as i could, or until it fit neatly into just an hour of running. other than that, it's kind of arbitrary i guess!
@@LucieBeatrix Appreciate you responding so thoughtfully! Your honesty and willingness to be open are main reasons why I love following your journey!
A byproduct of running 10 miles a day is u become super hot. Evidently
And looked gorgeous doing it
Awesome story, I can relate to so much of your journey and how running shaped your life, I just don't have the speed that you do, but love it still!
Earned my sub!
All the best going forward!
Any strava, Garmin, any running app data,
Trigger warning, if you have the tendency to be Addicted to exercise or anything. This is not the video for you. Including myself. Good for you though.
My goal is 5,000 steps a day average.
Great goal!
Long term,I have doubts my body could take it if I did that much distance. I think there is an optimum amount. You do less than that, you miss out
on some health benefits. You do more, then the bad effects outweigh the good ones. Supposedly Eliud Kipchoge is now running 20 miles/day and somehow it is working for him. That boggles my mind. I'm confident if I did 20/day my body would be breaking down more than this would be building it up, so the net effect would be negative. But I suspect if you are younger and built lighter then your body can take more miles. Looks like both you and Kipchoge are built pretty light.
wish i had the time
Very inspirational
Do you ever take rest days/have you ever gotten injured?
Wow those are great times…good job!
Thanks!
good 4 U. You should feel proud of self accomplishements after exercise best feeling in the world.

What are the Kenyan runners of E10 (5:12)? I've never heard of that and I follow the Kenyans and Ethiopians sometimes.
Iten, Kenya
Hm 10 miles everyday for 3 years. I guess she run 3650x3=10.950 miles. That's happened
Motivational!
NO, running 10 miles on a treadmill is NOT actually running10 miles. When you run on the street you are actually moving your body-weight but when you run on a treadmill you are just lifting up your feet over a moving conveyor belt.
This isn’t true :) if it was, why was I then able to race and run sub 60 min 10 milers + a 1:17 half, 2:44 marathon?
Also, do you have experience with the same conversions? I know many runners who use the treadmill how I do as pacers and it is pretty amazing how accurate it is.
@CaneFu spot on ! u r absolutely right....I've been into long distance running for years now & when I tried treadmill it felt like running with giant springs on - too easy
@@LucieBeatrix I am a runner and don't need "conversions" to know that it FEELS so much easier to run on a treadmill than it does in the street. You are deluding yourself if you think running in place on a treadmill is the same as actually moving your body-weight across the ground. Sure, you can get a workout on a treadmill but I'm not saying you can't; I am saying it isn't as good.
@@CaneFu luckily the delusional paces on the treadmill translated to delusional race time on the track / road.
Howany miles a day do you run now?
When I’m in peak marathon training, it’s 100+ miles a week. otherwise i average 60-70 mpw depending.
LOVE IT! GRRRR!!!!
Jesus this impressive but how is this not addiction?
running is hard work. it's not something that is a quick fix. to me an addiction = compulsive action that subtracts value from your life; something like smoking or drugs that could be appealing temporarily because they provide and immediate relief to pain but cause suffering long term versus something like running that is hard immediately but provide relief long term.
you wouldnt say pro runners are addicts. That just undervalues all the hard work
If she was actually an addict she would not be able to manage herself and inevitably end up biting more than she can chew. Her approach is VERY sustainable, especially as she has gotten more experience. She has a systematic yet flexible training program that gives her specific goals to work towards and evidence-based means to achieve them, yet she also can adapt flexibly by listening to her body to make sure it has the fuel, recovery and care it needs. It did not derail her career, mess up her relationships, drain her finances, or harm her body.
That is NOT characteristic of someone in the throes of an addiction. An active addict will push well past their limits and treat their life and body like trash. They will struggle delaying their gratification. They will never have “enough”, not due to calculated ambition but because of unchecked compulsion. They will hide it for as long as possible but eventually it will disrupt their functioning in personal and professional domains if left unchecked.
How are your feet? Do they look tired and worn out? Thank you Clint
This sounds too tough. Pretty far away from the recommended 80/20
I’d say 20% of my training was hard, 80% easy and that’s the same ratio I apply to training now
The 3 year streak combined with that distance was super impressive! Do you still run daily ? Not necessarily 10 a day ?
I average about 13-14 a day now - or 100 miles a week
Thanks!!
@@LucieBeatrix any problems with knees or other body parts ?
@@LucieBeatrix what are your fitness numbers ?
@@BRIANDER100 I dealt with some stress fractures early on yes, i had to learn to never run two hard/fast days in a row! no injuries since then.
Running weight helps, can run it faster than say a 200 pounder like me. Cameron Hanes is 50+ yr old doing 10 miles a day.
I just did 10 miles on the treadmill, my pace was 20 mins, I did 3hrs 30mins… I’m going back for 2hrs for 10 miles , I know I can do it in a shorter time. I didn’t ran all the way, I jog, run, walked and take breaks 😂

One rest day per week. Please. One rest day per week. Rest day is when you muscles repair and build strength.

How much weight can i lose if i run 10 miles a day? Do you have any sugguestions for a beginner at a 12 minute mile pace?
Running 10 burns like 1000+ calories and you need like to burn like 3500 to lose 1 pound of pure fat so you can lose alot of weight in a month if you go on a calorie deficit and run that much
Running 10 miles a day won't lose weight as your body will demand you to eat more. And usually people who do 10mile a day for a while probably in shape already and body will try to stay equilibrium. Going against the body and try to eat less will jeopardize running performance and lead to injury.
A lot. But you're going to gain a bunch when you can't move in a week or two. People reading this, DO NOT start running 10 miles a day without a base.
Do you have a weight problem or an eating problem
@@markthomasson5077 sure do
10 miles EVERYDAY for 3 years?! I want to believe u, but I’m hella doubtful 😂
Ah youth and naturally skinny. It must feel great.

So what you are saying is that you went mentally insane? ;) J/K Awesome to see you find your groove.
You’re running too much and/or not eating enough. Sorry if this sounds judgmental, but it seems like an exercise addiction/body image issue. You need muscle to be healthy a functional in order to avoid injury and disability as you get older. You may think you don’t need it now, but when you age you’ll lose what little muscle you have unless you start eating and strength training. I’m sure your heart is really healthy now and I hope you keep up your training, but please eat and add some weight training to optimize your health and project a healthy image to younger girls! th-cam.com/video/W1eGSayIxyE/w-d-xo.html
