POSTS STORIES REELS

We need to stop normalising these crazy fast Hyrox times.

The majority of people posting about their races are quick and therefore we start to think it’s normal to race a sub 90. To run a sub 90 your runs needs to be in the 5min km ranges which to some people sounds slow but when you add everything else it’s bloody quick.

My first solo was last May, and I want to show a more relatable time, my runs were about 7.30-8min and my weakest stations were burpees, lunges and wall balls being over 7mins each 🙃 The fitness levels needed to do 80m of burpees, 100m lunges and 100 walls alone are high but then add in the running in between!

If you’re looking at these 70min finish times and think that’s the norm, I can assure you, it’s not. These people are bloody fit and have trained for a long time or have a fitness background. Just going and finishing it says you fitter than the average person. Don’t knock your time, you’re amazing for doing it ♥️

Let me reintroduce myself! ✨

My fitness journey began in 2018 when I left uni and felt like rubbish in body. I found weight training through @krissycela and @meggangrubb on IG and started following their programs. In 2019, I started working with @evolveyou as an ambassador and I used the app for about 4/5years! I fell in love with training and getting strong. My whole mindset around moving my body shifted from being to look a certain way to actually loving training and appreciating my body.

2024 I found Hyrox and started training for my first doubles. I went to events where I met some amazing people and completely changed the way I trained. I told myself I would never be able to do a Hyrox alone, so I booked a solo for May 2025 where I ran a hour and 57 mins. After a year of consistent running and training I got a 15min PB with 1 hour 42.

If you’re like me and don’t come from a fitness background and want to see relatable posts from someone who’s just trying their best, then follow along!!🥰

How did I go from purely strength training, to loving Hyrox? Here’s how it happened..

We kept seeing Hyrox all over our socials so we found a training group near us. Found it impossibly hard and realised I needed to work on my fitness! Kept at it and booked our first race in December 2024!

I then began running but not nearly enough so the first race was a struggle!! We were completely hooked though and booked loads more!

My first solo again highlighted how poor my running was and overall fitness so running was upped again and a year later I got a 15min PB on my solo 🤟🏻

Running still being the thing pulling me back I’ve been upping my running volume even more, got a coach, booked a half marathon and going for sub 90 this season 👀👀

Will I do it? Follow along the journey to find out!!

For as long as I can remember I have hated my stomach. Genetically it’s where I hold my fat and the last to go. I have been into fitness for the last 8 years and I’m in a much better place when it comes to my body image.

However, I still catch myself feeling self-conscious sometimes and I have to remind myself of all the amazing things my body allows me to do. It’s gotten me through 10 Hyrox races, 3 10km, I train 6 times a week, and it allows me to live the life I have. Training makes me happy, I have my health, having a flat stomach isn’t going to make me any happier and I still need reminding of that sometimes.

Welcome to episode 16! Project Wall Ball depth!

The depth of my wall balls has always been a struggle. My first solo they were appalling 😂 So over the next few weeks we’re working on depth and technique. They’re already getting better but still improvements to be made!

Tips and tricks:
✨ Catch the ball close to the chest
✨ Heels pushed into the ground
✨ Slow the reps down to ensure time and control for depth at the bottom. Control down power up.
✨ Practise the hell out of them.

5 weeks out 👀🤟🏻

My 9-3pm before a late shift 🌈

A big perk of my job is when I have the whole morning to get my session done! I love training mid morning it’s my ideal time 👌🏻

I’ve been taking creatine for years now, definitely impacted my performance in the gym and the most researched supplement out there! It also helps having my @sweetlikewellf creatine gummies to make it much more enjoyable to take 😍

The scales don’t show the whole picture.

I jumped on the techno gym scanner this week and was given a 39 out of 100 due to having a higher body fat than before 🙃 Now a lot of people would walk away from that feeling really crap about themselves and fixate on that number. I went back on our InBody at work which I use reguarly to find that I had gained weight but 0.5 down in fat and 0.8 up in muscle. 💪🏻 Context is everything.

Not only that, even if the results weren’t showing that, my body is more than a number on the scales. I still catch myself fixating on the fat on my belly. Years and years of hating my stomach still comes back to haunt me 🙃 I have to remind myself sometimes of all the things my body allows me to do. Having a flat stomach isn’t going to make me happy, nabbing that sub 90 Hyrox will though 👌🏻

Happy Sunday 🌈

It took me a while to get to a point where I enjoy my runs and this definitely isn’t the case for all of them. Having easy runs where the pace is slow and HR is lower makes it so much more enjoyable!

Today was a good day, playlist was a vibe, sun was out but the wind was wild 💨 Felt like I was walking through sand at some points!

Got my trusty Nike Structure Plus trainers on, hands down my fave shoes to run in 👌🏻

Welcome to episode 15! Ministry of Sound Games complete!

Thank you so much @rox_queens for the opportunity to race last weekend! @geekyem and I met on the day and got on really well! We had the best time sweating away to music 💦

Lunges felt horrendous so may need some work on them for December but considering I was on my period this day I didn’t feel too bad! Been thinking about the fact I will be due on days after my solo in December. But I can’t control it so just have to go with it. Praying it will come earlier so it’s out of the way but oh well I can’t do anything about it! Perks of being a woman 🙃

6 weeks out 👀🤟🏻

The juggle of work, training, and a social life can be a lot! I do have the luxury of fitness being my job but I have to work around my shifts to fit my sessions in, seeing family friends and attending events and opportunities that come my way! @rox_queens has given me so many amazing opportunities to meet like-minded women and compete alongside them! No one races alone!

I went to the @nike store in Battersea today to see if they had anything for my upcoming races! I had Ministry of Sound Games last weekend and I have Hyrox London in December with a pretty big time goal! If you’re struggling with motivation or fitting in your sessions, here are some tips:

✨ Remember your why
✨ Think about how you want to feel on the start line of your next race!
✨ Book your sessions in like they are an appointment
✨ Plan out your week ahead so you know where you can fit your sessions in
