From Show Jumping to HYROX - Nicole Perinetti

In this 300th Episode we are joined by Jacob and Mintra Tilly. Jacob and Mintra were heavily involved in the initial creation of HYROX and have seen it evolve over the years. We consider the early days of the sport including the stress of the first events and the origin of the HYROX name. We discuss what it's like to suddenly find yourself at the centre of explosive growth and how some of the early UK events helped pave the way. We also deep dive into some of the elements that have supported HYROX's evolution such as the gym affiliation program, the rise of the adaptive athlete and the birth of Youngstars. Finally both Jacob and Mintra share some of their favourite memories from across the years.

This week we are joined by world champion and HYROX legend Lauren Weeks to discuss her incredible journey from the very first event in the United States to remaining at the pinnacle of the Elite fifteen field. Lauren shares her memories from the early days of fitness racing and explains how learning alongside the growth of the sport shaped her into the athlete she is today. We explore her iconic race in Las Vegas while heavily pregnant with her daughter Lily, how she balances elite training with motherhood, and her practical advice for parents in the fitness community. Lauren also opens up about her recent doubles partnership with Vivian Tafuto, evaluates her performance at the Stockholm World Championships, and breaks down the marginal gains that keep her competitive. Finally, we discuss her thoughts on the new Elite fifteen series, the points structure, and what lies ahead for the upcoming season.

This week we are joined by Harry Thompson. Harry has been competing in HYROX since the third UK event in January 2022 and has numerous Elite 15 accolades to his name including a 5th place at the Elite 15 in Stockholm.

This week we are joined by Michael Molloy and Mark Ellery the host of "The Filter is Off" podcast.

JK had a rollercoaster season in respect of performance that led to him thinking about who he wanted to be both in and outside the HYROX arena. We chat about how knowing what you want can help to make you a better racer. We also examine JK's performance at the Stockholm World Championships including the Aussie victory in the Relay. We then consider what's next looking to the new season.
