12 Weeks to Hyrox: How I'm Cutting 10 Minutes
►► Download FREE Guide → How I lost 2 lbs a week as an athlete with asthma: https://www.athletewithasthma.com/healthy-living-guide If you want to get faster at HYROX, one of the most valuable things you can do is run a HYROX simulation before race day. In this episode, I break down 5 ways I’m personally working to cut up to 10 minutes from my HYROX time over the next 12 weeks. My last simulation gave me a 69-minute baseline and showed me exactly where I have the biggest opportunities to improve. A simulation is more than just a practice race. It helps you understand how your body performs throughout the event, identify where you are losing time, and figure out what you need to focus on before race day. I cover the five areas I’m focusing on: Cutting transition times so you keep moving instead of wasting valuable minutes between stations Running on tired legs by practicing running immediately after hard strength exercises Mastering burpees, lunges, and wall balls when you’re gassed, especially during the later stages of the race Improving form for speed and energy efficiency so you can conserve energy without sacrificing too much pace Working with a coach and finding the right community to help you train toward your goals I also explain what I learned from my previous HYROX simulations, how doubles and solo racing can expose different weaknesses, and why your running strategy needs to change as fatigue builds throughout the race. Whether you're preparing for your first HYROX or trying to take 5 to 10 minutes off your current time, a simulation can give you the information you need to train with more purpose. What would you focus on if you needed to cut 5 to 10 minutes from your HYROX time in the next 12 weeks? Drop your tips in the comments.

Why I Always Work With A Fitness Coach to Reach My Goals
►► Download FREE Guide → How I lost 2 lbs a week as an athlete with asthma: https://www.athletewithasthma.com/healthy-living-guide Working with a fitness coach can be one of the most powerful ways to reach your goals, especially when you have a specific performance goal in mind. Throughout my life, coaches have helped me become a better athlete, from soccer and ultimate Frisbee to yoga, HIIT, ultramarathons, and now HYROX. But even with years of experience, certifications, and knowledge, I’ve learned that there are limits to what I can accomplish on my own. In this episode, I share 5 reasons why working with a fitness coach can help you reach your goals faster and become a better athlete. The right coach should push you harder than you would push yourself, understand your individual needs and limitations, provide experience and strategies you may not discover on your own, encourage you when things get difficult, and take some of the guesswork and stress out of training. I also share how working with my ultramarathon coach Caitlin helped me prepare for and ultimately win a 100K race, and why I decided to work with Scott at Endorphin as I pursue my goal of competing for a podium at HYROX Denver. During a recent HYROX training session, Scott challenged me to run a kilometer in under 4:10 after my legs were already exhausted. I finished in 3:54. That moment reminded me exactly why having the right coach can make such a difference. If you’re training for a race, trying to get stronger, improving your fitness, or working toward a major athletic goal, this episode will help you understand what to look for in a coach and why investing in the right guidance can help you reach your potential.

Not Seeing Fitness Results? Don’t Worry, Your Body Is Still Changing
►► Download FREE Guide → How I lost 2 lbs a week as an athlete with asthma: https://www.athletewithasthma.com/healthy-living-guide What if the results you want are already happening, even if you cannot see them yet? In this episode, I share why fitness results take time and how sticking with your training can completely change what your body is capable of. From being told as a child with asthma that I would never be an athlete or runner, to completing marathons and winning a 100K ultramarathon, my journey has taught me that progress comes from stacking small wins over time. I started with something as simple as going five minutes without needing my inhaler during exercise. Eventually, those five-minute wins became 10 minutes, 20 minutes, an hour, a full soccer game, and eventually multiple games. Years later, the same principle helped me go from a six-hour first marathon to running a marathon in about five hours on demand. The lesson? Your body can change. Your abilities can change. And the small things you do consistently can add up to incredible results. In this episode, I talk about: Why fitness progress can take longer than you expect How stacking small wins can transform your abilities My journey from childhood asthma to ultramarathon racing What thousands of miles of running taught me about consistency Why consistency matters more than constantly chasing new workouts The mindset shift from training for one event to working out for life How to recognize the things you can do today that once seemed impossible If you're feeling frustrated because your results aren't showing up as quickly as you'd hoped, I hope this reminds you to keep going. You do not need to transform overnight. Keep showing up, keep stacking those wins, and give your body the time it needs to adapt.

How to Mix Up Your Workouts Without Losing Progress
►► Download FREE Guide → How I lost 2 lbs a week as an athlete with asthma: https://www.athletewithasthma.com/healthy-living-guide What if you could mix up your workouts without losing progress? In this episode, I share my four-step framework for adding variety to your training while still staying focused on your goals. Whether you're training for a marathon, HYROX, an ultramarathon, a sport, or simply trying to stay healthy and active, knowing how to change your workouts strategically can help you become a more well-rounded athlete. After running thousands of miles, completing dozens of marathons, and training for events like a 100K, I've learned that doing the same workouts forever isn't necessary. In fact, finding ways to keep training fresh can help you stay motivated and continue moving consistently for years to come. Here's the four-step process I use: Identify what you're training for Be honest about your experience level Categorize your workouts by type, muscle group, and duration Plug and play different exercises while keeping the important training category I'll also walk you through how I approached my first marathon compared with my most recent marathon, including why my training became much more flexible as I gained experience. The bigger lesson is simple: movement is life. Your training doesn't always have to look the same. The goal is to find forms of movement you enjoy, keep things fresh, and build an active lifestyle you can sustain for years to come.

The answer might surprise you. After a tough weekend in the Colorado mountains, I learned a valuable lesson that had nothing to do with breakfast and everything to do with fueling your body the right way. While training for HYROX, I attempted an 11-mile alpine trail run after skipping breakfast. The climb felt amazing, but the descent quickly exposed a mistake that cost me performance, energy, and confidence.

You’re Losing Minutes at HYROX Without Realizing It
►► Download FREE Guide → How I lost 2 lbs a week as an athlete with asthma: https://www.athletewithasthma.com/healthy-living-guide Are you spending too much time training the wrong parts of HYROX?
