Episode description
In this bonus episode, I break down my first ever HYROX Doubles experience – from why I signed up, to how I trained, and what race day was really like.
You’ll hear the truth about what surprised me, what I found easy/challenging, and what I’d do differently if I were to compete again – solo or with a teammate.
🔥 What You’ll Learn:
- What HYROX actually is – a hybrid race combining running, strength, and endurance stations
- How I trained for it – what I adapted in my routine and where it tested me the most
- My 1,200g Carb Load - that kept me fuelled and energised
- What happened on race day – the energy, the crowd, the pain cave moments, and communication with my teammate
- My biggest takeaways – physically, mentally, and emotionally
- Would I do it again? – honest reflections and how I’d prep differently next time
- Should YOU try HYROX? – who it’s perfect for and what fitness level you need before signing up
👉 If you’ve ever considered doing a HYROX or just want to challenge yourself with something that’ll push every part of you – this episode is for you.
