Building back stronger after injury
Training for my Next HYROX

2024 broke me in ways I didn’t think were possible.
I tore both Achilles tendons. Then my adductor. It felt like my body was turning on me, piece by piece

But 2025? I fought back.
I rebuilt myself into the fittest I had ever been Stronger. Sharper. Ready

And then… one week before Sydney HYROX, I tore my adductor on the other side

All that work. All that discipline. Gone in a second.

I still showed up for Perth HYROX. I wasn’t ready, but I refused to quit on myself.
And then mid-race, the pain hit again. I had to DNF.
That moment stays with you—the one where your mind is willing, but your body just won’t go.

After that, it became a cycle.
Return to run. Hope. Progress.
Then pain. Stop. Reset. Repeat

Over and over again.

December 2025, I was finally running again. It felt different this time. Like I was getting my life back.
Then came the tibial bone stress.

Stop again.

At that point, it wasn’t just physical anymore.
It was mental exhaustion.
Questioning everything.
“Why does this keep happening?”
“How many times can I start over?”

I went to a sports specialist, trying to find answers—because it didn’t make sense anymore.
Why could I get fit… but never push past a certain point without breaking?

Then the MRI came back.

Stress fracture in my inferior pubic ramus.

Back to zero. No running. Again.

And that’s the part people don’t see.
Not just the injuries—but the constant rebuilding.
The frustration of doing everything right and still being forced to stop.
The discipline it takes to keep showing up when there’s no guarantee it’ll pay off.

It’s exhausting. It’s frustrating. It tests you in ways nothing else does

But it’s also where I’ve found a different kind of strength.
Not in performance. Not in results.
But in resilience.

Because no matter how many times I’ve been set back…
I’ve never stayed down.

And I’m still chasing those goals.
I wish it got easier… it doesn’t.
I just refuse to quit

Hyrox Brisbane 
Hugee atmosphere and a really strong field 
Absolutely Stoked to come away with a 3min PB!
This race really tested me, by far the biggest mental battle, slow start to the sleds, felt roughh through the first few stations and got really flustered with it not going as planned.Pushed through, pulled it together and after that and had a good race!!
Big love to my friends that came and supported me, means alot 🩷 

2025 is going to be a big year with big goals
 excited to put in the work

Feels like I’m always chasing something or working towards a timeline, wanting to be at a certain point by a certain time. The injury setbacks have made things take longer than expected, and sometimes I get so caught up in trying to get back to where I want to be that I forget to enjoy the journey and appreciate the progress I’ve made. It’s easy to focus on how far I still have to go, but I have to remind myself that despite the setbacks, I’ve never given up, and I should be proud of how far I’ve come 🩷

Saturdays at my favourite place to relax and reset after a big week.Recovery House has everything under one roof! Compression boots, sauna, AARC bed, Rollstar rollers, hyperbaric chamber, cryotherapy, dry float and lymphatic drainage.

Today’s recovery: AARC bed, compression boots, sauna and ice bath 🧊

✨ The AARC bed helps support cellular energy production, circulation, muscle recovery, pain relief and skin rejuvenation.With all my training and managing an injury, recovering hard is just as important as training hard! 💪🏼

GRWM for a run 🏃🏼‍♀️✨

Still following my return-to-run program from physio to safely build my way back into running while managing an injury. It’s all about slow and steady steps, but thankfully everything is going really well so far 🤍

Also… how cute is this new @lululemonausnz outfit?! 🥹 And I’ve FINALLY found a pair of shorts that don’t ride up or chafe while I run — absolute game changer 🙌🏼
