This week on the podcast, we sit down with HYROX 45-49 AG World Champion Amy Brown — a runner turned HYROX powerhouse who proves that it’s never too late to chase something big.

Amy opens up about her journey from marathon running and chasing a sub-3-hour marathon, to finding her place in HYROX and becoming World Champion in the 45-49 age group in Chicago . She also took to the floor earlier this season in the Americas Regional with her doubles partner Anne Marie McNiven.

We talk about balancing motherhood, coaching, elite competition, and the mental side of all of this.

We also dive into:

• Transitioning from endurance running into HYROX
• Training with purpose vs training for exhaustion
• Recovery, sleep, and longevity in sport
• Managing confidence and pressure as a competitive athlete
• Zone 2 training, pacing, and smart programming
• Competing in doubles and Elite 15 racing
• The realities of training through your 40s and perimenopause

Amy brings such an honest and inspiring perspective to performance, consistency, and self-belief — and this conversation is packed with insights for anyone navigating sport, fitness, or ambitious goals alongside real life.
