Tales from the Valley Podcast ft. Lucy Holman

Sam and Katie chat with Lucy Holman. In just five short years, Lucy has won the Husky 10k twice in a row with a PB of 38:05 (even after getting taken out by the lead bike and hitting the deck). She also finished the UTA 100 in under 12 hours, despite tearing an ankle ligament 14k into the race. It’s clear that Lucy leaves nothing on the table when she races, and she talks to us about how she balances a busy family life with a demanding running schedule. Lucy is preparing to race her first marathon at Shellharbour in a couple of weeks, aiming for a sub-3 finish.

Katie has ramped up her mileage to 68km this week, and the HR monitor is back. Sam is focusing on time management in his sessions this week and has seen stark improvements compared to an identical session two months ago, logging 104km. Lucy is balancing travel and home life this week with some impressive progression runs and 107kg squats, complementing a solid 68km week, just a couple of weeks out from the Shellharbour Marathon.
