After years competing in CrossFit, Annie took a chance on HYROX after a coach spotted her potential through physiological testing. Fast forward a few months, and she's already clocked an incredible 57:38, with her sights firmly set on the Elite 15.

In this episode, we chat about her sporting background, why she made the switch from CrossFit, training around recurring shin splints, and how she's built her fitness by spending more time on the SkiErg and RowErg than running.

We also dive into racing strategy, recovery, balancing a full-time job alongside elite competition, and why Annie believes the best part of competing isn't race day—it's the training that gets her there.

A brilliant conversation with one to watch in the sport.

Kris Rugloski's route into HYROX is anything but conventional.

A former obstacle course racer and ultra-runner, Kris first entered HYROX simply because it looked like something she'd enjoy. Just a few years later, after qualifying for the World Championships on a roll-down, she shocked the field by winning the 2022 HYROX World Championship.

In this episode, Kris shares her journey from OCR to HYROX World Champion, why she still spends her summers running ultras in the mountains, and how she balances elite competition with a life far bigger than sport.

We dive into the mindset that has shaped her approach to training and racing, the lessons she's learned through injury and adversity, and why gratitude, perspective and being capable for life matter more than results.

This is a conversation about resilience, purpose, adventure and finding joy in the process.

Whether you're training for your first HYROX, chasing a PB, or simply trying to become a stronger version of yourself, there's something in this episode for everyone.

Aimee Oliver is the founder of BodyFit Mums, a community that has spent the last 10 years supporting women through pregnancy, postpartum recovery, and every stage of life beyond.

In this episode, Aimee shares her personal journey with pelvic health and stress incontinence following the birth of her first child. What started as her own search for answers became a mission to help other women realise they don't have to suffer in silence.

We discuss the realities of living with pelvic floor dysfunction, the impact it can have on confidence, mental health, training, and sport, and why so many women still feel uncomfortable talking about it. Aimee also opens up about continuing to compete at a high level in volleyball and Hyrox while managing these challenges, and how she is determined not to let it stop her.

This is an honest and eye-opening conversation about pelvic health, motherhood, resilience, and the power of normalising conversations that too often stay behind closed doors.
