Would appreciate it if you would go into more detail on those little muscle exercises / stretches, especially those without a resistance band, and those that made you sore where you were never sore before. I tried what looks like toe squats this morning, but had no idea what I was doing. All the best for a speedy recovery!
That’s so interesting how breathing on one side had an impact on your biomechanics. Wishing you a speedy recovery Lucy 💛
Thank you! Yes- so interesting to see how all these things can have an impact!
When running even breathing cadence to stride ratios will cause imbalanced stress on one side. If you have an odd number of breaths to strides you'll even out the stresses to both sides. When you exhale it tenses up the core and puts more force through the legs when you land on the exhale stride. If you are taking either three or five strides per complete inhale/exhale cycle the forces will be equally applied to both legs. If you do four strides per breath cycle the peak forces will always be on one leg.
I’m so sorry.. the only way to change your impact ,is to breath helium. Total bollox
@@umaikakudo and what about burping during running ?
@@LucyCharlesBarclay hello! have you seen any postural restoration specialists? They can help you balance out your thoracic rotation through learning how to utilize your diaphragm and ribs to breathe properly, and will bring better symmetry to your core, hips, and lower legs. Especially if you always breathed on one side. It's definitely worth your time to explore this option if you have the resources to.
I'd love to see a walkthrough on the exercises your are doing gym, why you are doing those specific ones, and if there is a specific order when doing them.
would love to see this as well
Me, too! A video showing basic exercises might help a lot of runners avoid an injury.
Same here
Can we get an overview over the kinds of exercises you do now? Might be helpful for getting our legs safer :)
glad to hear you are recovering well and will be able to race stronger than ever :)
She basically has to do more strength work on top of swim bike run. Endurance will always break your body down whilst resistance training will build it up. Triathletes are not a big fan of resistance training. Evidence has been prove time and time again that resistance makes you a more robust athletes.
Appreciate the learning you are sharing. I too was a swimmer who discovered triathlon later, first tri as adult at 28, pro from 30 - 40 yrs old - mostly olympic distance. Swimmers come in with a lot of strength and fitness but often miss the form of running. I did not like running for a long time because I kept injuring my legs. But in the struggle, you can discover something remarkable. Today I love running and much of that is from knowing the form side of it - similar to how we are aware of our swimming form. The most insightful thing I did...unfortunately, it wasn't until I was 40 and retired from tri...was learning how to walk better. Seriously, walk with all your swagger and bridge that into your running. You will know how to run better. Seeing the few seconds of you walking in your gait analysis shows some exciting room for improvement. Consider the rotations on the spine to swing the weight of the arms and legs - its a game changer. It's also a wonderful way to remodel the body, whilst gaining strength and fitness - go for a walk pushing the pace with good form (swagger), it's the best core workout + will strengthen your ankles, hips etc...building the fascia to assist in finding your best running form. Enjoy the process, you'll be running again and appreciate it all the more.
Reminds about Sanders injury in the hip also a stress fracture, and one of the reasons was breathing only on one side in the pool.
wow, as a swimmer turned runner who definitely used to favour one side, this explains a lot. Best of luck with recovery!
Thanks for sharing this. Best recovery
Really enjoyed this video! It must feel great to be back in the gym working through the injury! We’re all cheering for you!! Thanks for the update, this facility looks so cool.
So good to hear a likely cause has been found for the injury. It looks like you are in an athletes paradise there!
Thank you! Yes it's the perfect place to get to work on my rehab!
It’s so exciting to watch your recovery and discovery unfold in real time!! Thank you so much for sharing!💖
Such an interesting video! Great to see how you discovered the cause and how you’re working on it
So interesting! Great job Lucy
I love how you dig the positive out of this setback.
Great tips for all of us! (Core Strength is a must!) Quite a different challenge to what you were expecting this year but you’re still dealing with it brilliantly
Loved this video and to see all this rehab movements to get the function back
This video is so helpful!! I wish you a speedy recovery, you will come back stronger than ever!!
Thank you for sharing!!
Incredible watching the different ways your trainer / physical therapist is working with you…..the many different exercises focusing on that hip…. As a runner, my right hip has been giving me problems when I sit, etc…. doesn’t bother me running though 🙂🏃♂️👍. I did a little research, and came across Piriformis syndrome……..after reading about it, a lot of the symptoms I have match the same symptoms Piriformis syndrome has.( all on my right hip area ). There are exercises I’m doing to help it out…. Anyway, I know with time, you’ll heal and get into top shape again and continue doing what you love 🙂👍.
This was so cool to watch. Thanks for sharing Lucy. It made me so excited for the LCB comeback! Can’t wait to watch
Great video. I'm struggling with a groin issue and I feel it's related to my biomechanics. Great tips there and good to see you back on the road to recovery.
Dear Lucy and Team ! Thank you very much for showing that very interesting Clip !!!I wish all the best for a top recovery !!!
VERY interesting. Thank you
Best video yet. Fascinating. You’re so patient. This is all going to make you invincible. 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
We love you Lucy,thanks for sharing 💚
This seems like very good news and it's a fascinating insight into the cause and effect side of biomechanics.
Great update! I need all these exercises, my leg stability is appalling!! The Red Bull APC looks amazing!
Fantastic to hear you are slowly getting back into it!! The Athlete performance centre looks to be an incredible resource to have access to-with your work ethic, I’m certain you will come back stronger than before!!! All the very best with your continuing rehab!!! U got this!!!🙌🙌🙌
Thank you for these interesting insights! ☺
Thanks Lucy for posting. Really cool to see the rehab and gait analysis. I’m a swimmer turned triathlete and have been struggling with calf strains from a weak right side hip. I wonder if all of my years of swimming and breathing to my left could have been a causal variable for a weak right hip.
This is one of the most insightful videos into sports rehabilitation I have ever watched , so interesting about potential imbalances through breathing to one side , I am guilty of that , and am thwarted with hip injuries through the side I breathe Thankyou so much for sharing your journey Lucy really looking forward to following your progress and see you back firing on all cylinders 💫🤗
Very interesting and eyes opening!
Soo interesting, thanks !!
My Pilates teacher has been telling me this for ages ,small muscles rule !!! Great video xxxxxxxxxx
Hi, I love this content and it has been amazing to watch your recovery journey. Would love to see a detailed video about the different stretches and mobility exercises you are doing and how often we can do them etc. I think it would help so many people get less injured in our sport of triathlon and running. Helping people live a healthier life! Can't wait to see you dominate again!
Wow, Lucy this is one of the best video in the in the world of triathlon. So much information and interesting point, even for amateurs. Well done, thank you so much. Greetings from Germany.
So useful to see this, being currently sidelined from running!
If someone like Lucy needs to and can reconstruct her running mechanics, should be a lesson to the rest of us. Thank you 🙌
Lucy, thank you. This video meant the world to me. I've been dealing with hip pain for a long time and now realize I need to learn to run differently by strengthening those minor/small muscles so the major muscles can do their job. Best of healing to you!
Just stumbled across this video and glad to hear you had such a great assessment! As a physio myself, I feel very strongly that a full body assessment of movement is needed, especially for the elite athlete. Thorax affects the core which affects hip stability and control which can also lend to dysfunction down the chain, etc, etc! Thanks for sharing your journey Lucy! Wishing you well in Kona!
Great to see you back in the gym Lucy! 🧡
Get well soon, Lucy. Love you!
Fascinating. Time for me to swim with bilateral breathing. Thanks for a great update!
Loved this 💕
Glad to hear you are getting to the bottom of your injury, very interesting. Great that you are able to access all these specialists who have all this amazing knowledge Will you have a bike fit as part of the cause of injury or are the people helping you feel they've found the cause. Get well soon.
I hope u can have a safe and quick recovery. Nothing worse than injuries and pain in this world😪. Keep your chin up
No entiendo nada de lo que dices , pero te doy, todos los animos, para tu pronta recuperacion! vamos!!💪💪
so going to Red Bull Austria is proving to be a good call! Great to see you on the mend 💪
You’re so awesome and always an inspiration! Reese and Lola are cool too
Amazing that you are getting elite care and rehabilitation
There are lessons in this for every triathlete
Glad they could narrow down the root of the problem. The new routines (exercises) will hopefully help you to get nearer to your full potential. Going through something similar (without the injury) myself. Under scrutiny my running form turned out to be very poor (unstable hips). Have to do comparable exercises as well at least 3-4 times/week. United we stand :)
I once had a coach that showed us video of top runners with bad form and then the injuries they eventually developed. It was very enlightening and changed my focus to form first, then speed.
Add in bilateral breathing in very small amounts in your swimming and let it develop as gradually as possible, or else you'll develop another injury putting too much stress on your body trying to twist the other way. And then still do mostly one-sided on race day since it's faster.
So will you start bilaterally breathing now too? And congrats on the discovery...thinking about you being even more of a beast on course is exciting! 🙌
I suffer from the same exact thing! The most difficult part that I have come across is being disciplined to do these type of exercises routinely. There are days that I can feel my body being off. There are days when I feel the discomfort in my hip, lower back or ankle. The hard pet is when I don’t. I have to remind myself what my chiropractor says. “Just because the pain and symptoms are gone doesn’t mean I’m healed.”
Gutted that I missed you at Box End. Hope your recovery is going well
I never realized that LCB was a heel striker when running. My chiropractor told me to change my running form from heel striking to forefoot strides and it helped me out with my back problems a lot. It took me a few months to get used to the new running form as I felt I was falling forward when running. Now, I've been feeling more comfortable on my runs. Granted, I don't run as much as LCB lol
wow glad you are getting the rehab you need. would love to go to this red bull centre too. would sort me right out
Lucy, sorry to hear of your injury. It looks as though your rehab team has a good strategy for your recovery. Since you know that you have a lateral deviation (scoliosis) of your spine, it would be very beneficial for you to incorporate bilaterally symmetrical activities (same movement on right and left sides) in your daily training. For certain practice and become very comfortable breathing on both sides in your freestyle stroke. In cycling, you can compensate for slight pelvic tilt, leg length discrepancy etc by changing the angle at which you pedal, meaning more toe drop on the functionally shorter leg. In your case, a more radical approach to correcting spinal asymmetry would be for you to learn a sport movement that is highly symmetrical, cross country skiing would be super beneficial. Classic or traditional nordic ski technique is fairly intuitive and easy to learn and can be done on snow and also asphalt and rubber running track using roller skis (recommend FFPro Klassisk split-wheel roller skis from Norway). Of course there’s a bit of a learning curve but investing time and effort to learn nordic skiing would be of great benefit to you in so many ways. There are very good visual technique resources on nordic skiing on TH-cam, Johannes Klæbo has posted many tutorials. Certainly your Austria-based sponsor Red Bull is highly knowledgeable of nordic athletes whom they sponsor and can give you good information. Good Luck and let me know if you have any questions!
Hope you win it all after your recovery!
Wow it’s so interesting to see the testing and analysis involved in your recovery process! I am curious, what lessons do you think an age grouper can take away regarding injury prevention/recovery?
Glad that you were able to figure out the root cause. Hope that the recovery goes well for you
I am 100% bilateral breathing after seeing this video today. So glad they helped you figure it out
I've learnt so much from this video 👍
Glad to hear it 👌🤩
Very insightful Lucy. Thanks for sharing because it makes us aware of our own running mechanics as well. I noticed that you're a midfoot striker, I wonder if forefoot striking would help you fix this issue. Just curious. Thanks again.
BTW all my admiration for your achievements.
Im just a runner myself. Interesting video. You get good treatment there I see. I wanna wish you all the best.
Thank you!
So interesting. I always drop my hips so would be really good to k ow what exercises you are doing to combat all of this.
Hey hey! I have done a lot of those exercises with my PT when I was trying to figure out why I was having a terrible tibia (right side) stress reaction when ever I passed 32 km per week... Our best guess is that when I was recovering from an ITB band issue (self induced because I was dumb), my gait changed to compensate and I just never noticed... essentially started landing further out on front on my right and that my lifting had gone too, erm, 'aesthetic' and not functional so my right foot was also getting a little cross gait in it... I still roll inward on my right foot, but my PT thinks that I have just always done that because I have almost no balance when I have to point my foot forward... but we worked on it not being turned out so far.
It is nuts how they can pick out those biomechanical quirks and help correct them. I mean, for two years my training just plateaued because every time I would ramp up, I thought I was getting a stress fracture... so I would rest up for 8 weeks, only to get back to the same distance and have to back off again -- so frustrating! Very pleased to have crossed 45km and absolutely no pain, no reaction. I cannot wait to build back my pre-ordeal speed.
Inside the coffee cup for a glimpse of a second I misread the words “AFRO COFFEE” to “AERO COFFEE”. Actually I think the latter is better…😂 Definitely will drink that “AERO COFFEE” before my ride.
Wow!! It's so good you could find the source of the Injury!! Hips and Glute are the key! you'll be back stronger and with better running in no time!! Keep it up Lucy!!
How do i stop limping?
Must be a great feeling identifying the cause of the injury. And ultimately a silver cloud if you become a stronger athlete due to the rehab process.
Very interesting
I think a lot of athletes will get this type of injury come up from using the soft/bouncy carbon shoes in training too much and not allowing their body to learn to absorb the impact of running and strengthen to it over time. Vincent Luis has also said he does interval runs in Pegasus 38's over carbon plated racing shoes for this exact reason.
Controversial opinion but I think most pros (and age groupers) could halve their run volume, increase their swim & bike volume and end up with less niggles, better consistency and improved results over time. Consistency is more important than volume when it comes to running!
Whilst I'm nowhere near your level I also have a hip-impingment that has caused me a lot more pain recently (seeing another specialist soon too). I'm going to try to mirror the exercises for 1 month (mine is right side) and cut out running except for my upcoming triathlon !
Please can I link to your video ?
Amazing what small imbalances at this high performance level can lead to such serious injuries!
Well the trainingvolume is kinda insane for these professionals.
Imagine a car with some unblance at the wheels - you won't realize there is a problem at 50km/h but when you go 150km/h you will realize a vibration and it can get dangerous
Well done at Kona🎉🎉🇬🇧🇬🇧👏👏👏👏 so exciting to see. See you next year.
those adductor box lifts are super tough!
Thanks for sharing, if this can happen to someone of your grade it can sure happen to use mere mortals 😁 a good reminder that its important to do the strength and conditioning work.
A question about breathing technique when swimming: don't you breathe every third stroke of your arm over long distances?
In any case, keep up the good work; a big fan from Austria :-)
I think they breathe to one side because of certain courses being choppy and turning to the right makes it difficult with water in the face
Hey Lucy, I´ve got a very similar injury in my right hip and also wanted to take a look at my biomechanics in running. Who is the biomechanist you´ve been talking to in the video? Paul Miller?
I started watching this channel for triathlon advice...I subscribed for Lola
building bottom up in rehab after a serious injury is also a chance to become a better athlete than ever before. just hang in there and take on step at a time.
Yeah it’s exciting to think of the possibilities for improving my running once I’m back!
That looks absolutely exhausting! 🥵
I feel like i have the eaxact same issue as you but on the right side. Looks like i gotta work on foot strengthening.
Love that you’re seeing a regular osteopath and not a chiropractor is music to my ears! 🙌
It is almost unbelievable that a top athlete like Lucy, never had a running analysis. I thought it is a common practice of any athlete to have an analysis from time to time.
Maybe sensormotor insoles can also help in such a case as a training device
Obvious question and I’m sure they checked, but is it possible you have a leg length discrepancy? Good luck with your recovery
totally normal to have leg length discrepancy
I have the same problem. Personalised insoles were not discussed?
Orthotics aren’t good long term: they take pressure off one area and on to another area. Strength and conditioning is the best treatment
Lucy a question. Do you use specific inner soles for your run trainers?
But the bigger question is do you have to maintain a regimen of these exercises for rest of your career to prevent injuries?
Whats the song at 9:45?
Can you post the exercises you are doing please?
I know a lot of endurance athletes abuse opioids.
It's possible she was hurting but didn't catch it because she was numb most of the time.
HELLO LUCY
GOD KMOWS WHY THINGS HAPPEN, AFTER THIS YOU WILL BE STRONGER MENTALY AND PHYSICALLY.
Can someone please tell me the song that plays at 9:40 please?? Please get better Lucy!!
I love the point in the vid where you say there's nothing wrong with your nutrition...just as it cuts to you munching a croissant! Girl after my own heart! :-D
She is so Beautiful😍
You need mixed technical terrain to strengthen the foot and lower leg, too many age groupers and triathletes get on a programme and just go pound pavement until they break. Gotta get on those soft trails and go off road.
Dangit. I mainly breathe to one side! Hope we get to see you running and biking soon!! :)
Who would you recommend going to see regarding me overpronating? I really want to try fix my form and be more efficient. 🏃🏼♂️
