HYROX Rotterdam!!

Why HYROX?

I’ve followed HYROX for 4 years since my UK days, watching athletes like @jade.skillen and thinking maybe someday. As a marathoner with a strong strength base, it always felt like a natural fit.

When HYROX launched in India, it never aligned with my marathon cycles. But after the New Delhi Marathon, I finally had an off-season window to try something new.

And what a place to debut — HYROX Rotterdam by HYROX Benelux, the biggest event in Europe. Global athletes. Immaculate organisation. Standards set HIGH.

I didn’t train specifically for this. I kept my run training on , sharp with some great workouts. I also attended a few semi simulations that helped me understand the format. I couldn't do a 100 percent race simulation.

For an international SOLO debut, I chose to take it easy — to test what I already had and see how far it would take me. I wanted to enjoy the experience.

It showed me my strengths, exposed my weaknesses, and most importantly — showed me exactly where to go next.

And I’m told it was a great SOLO debut…
No noise. Just execution. And Zero penalties!
A quiet 1:47 hr finish !!

Onwards and upwards!

Plot twist: We thought we were just running, but the Onam ramp walk had us in a chokehold. 💀

The girlies understood the assignment and literally ate the runway up, leaving the Soles of Bangalore boys speechless and dropping pure “wow” reactions in 4K. 😮‍💨✨

But wait... just when we thought the main character energy was locked in, the president literally materialized out of nowhere, slayed the entire stage, and stole the whole damn show. Bro didn’t just enter the chat, he took over the server. 😭👑

Not the plot twist we expected, but we respect the supreme authority. 🤌🌿

Drop a 🏃‍♂️ in the comments if you survived this aesthetic attack.

We are many things at once - ambitious and nurturing, fiercely independent and deeply connected, constantly evolving and still finding ways to make space for one another.

We carry different stories, see the world differently, take different paths and define success in our own ways. And perhaps that’s what makes us coming together so powerful - not how much we have in common, but how much we can bring to each other.

Women with stories. Good conversations. New perspectives. Different minds, different journeys and so much possibility in between.

Here’s to women who bring their whole selves to the table and make the space bigger for everyone.

From overcoming setbacks to helping others find their stride.

Hoysala Hustle is proud to welcome Asha Sivasankaran @ashatherunner as an Ambassador for Hoysala Hustle 2026.

An endurance runner, marathoner and founder/coach at Gear of Change, Asha’s journey reflects what running is so often about — resilience, consistency and the determination to come back stronger.

From an ACL recovery to taking on major world marathons including London, New York and Chicago, she has chased her own finish lines while helping others work towards theirs.

We’re delighted to have that spirit join the Hoysala family as we bring Coastal Karnataka to Bengaluru this November.

Welcome aboard, Asha!

Are you ready to Hustle like a Hoysala?

NMDC Hyderabad HM Edition 15 | 1:58:48 🏃🏽‍♀️
@nmdchyderabadmarathon
The last time I ran in Hyderabad—or visited the city—was probably about five years ago, when the event was the Airtel Hyderabad Marathon.

This time I aimed for a good race execution, than timing.

I’m no big fan of hilly routes, and the flyovers in Hyderabad—one after another from start to finish—definitely don’t forgive poor execution!

I discussed the course with my coach @vira75 -His inputs helped me visualise the course and plan my pacing, hydration and gels better.

With flyovers thrown at you throughout, running was more by effort.

I held back in the first half(tried to).The brutality of kilometres 17–20 still took me down many notches and I slowed me down .Though I figured I could squeeze in a sub-2 in 1:58:48, with a sprint finish over the last kilometre.

I’m happy that I was a bit wiser in execution, still a lot to work on.

Huge thanks to Vira for keeping the training interesting. Results are always a by-product of the process❤️

And running is never just running.

Strength training is a huge part of what I love about training and what equips me to keep pursuing sport. Thank you @somyarout sir and team @stairsphysio for keeping me strong and able to keep up with demands of the sport ❤️

One of the unique things about this event was SheRaces, where women runners got priority starts this time. I think it is a thoughtful initiative and a great step towards making races more inclusive. 👏🏽

The event was very well organised—great hydration with @fastandup_india , cheer zones tunnels with kids waving you on, weather being super kind!

Some incredible humans I met on course and ran with - Suresh Babu from Kovai, @somusoft , pacer @ranbirbagga and everyone who cheered and supported along the way- may there be more of your kind❤️

One more race. One more lesson. Keep showing up.
