Athlete Spotlight: Luis! 🏃♂️
He just started running this year, and we set a massive goal right out of the gate: HYROX Tampa.
For those who don't know,
@hyroxamerica consists of an 8km run (nearly 5 miles) paired with 8 intense functional fitness exercises. Coach Macca stepped in to help Luis build up his aerobic base and raw strength along the way.
Heading into race day, Luis kept a realistic goal of 2 hours in mind, but secretly aimed for a sub-1:45:00 finish—knowing it was possible if he paced himself from the very beginning.
Luis and Coach Macca (@mccaffrey_chris) ultimately crossed the finish line at 1:49:00, and both were all smiles the entire day! ⏱️🎉
Next up? Luis is already training for his second HYROX this December in Nashville.
