This week, we’re joined by elite trail and ultra runner Holly Wootten — a powerhouse across the trails, fells, sky, and ultra distances. Fresh off her win at the Helvellyn Sky Ultra, Holly breaks down what it takes to race one of the UK’s most technical mountains and how those experiences have shaped her approach to competition.

She also shares her recent race experience at the 247 event at Rivington with Team Theta, the unique challenges of ultra racing, and why hill running can be a game-changer for performance — not just for mountain athletes, but for anyone looking to build strength, resilience, and speed.

Packed with practical advice, training insights, and mindset gems, Holly’s story is a reminder that every climb, every race, and every challenge teaches us something new.

Tune in for an inspiring conversation on backing yourself, learning from the hills, and finding joy in doing the thing that you love.

This week we’re joined by adaptive athlete and nutrition coach Sydney Peterson, who’s redefining what strength and performance look like.

We talk about:

• Pushing past expectations and redefining what’s possible
• The evolution of the adaptive Hyrox category

Fresh off a sweaty training session together in Dubai, we sat down with elite Hyrox athlete and coach Jade Skillen for a lighthearted but insightful chat about all things training, female physiology, and performance.

In this episode, we unpack:

• How understanding female physiology can transform training and recovery

• The rise of Hyrox and what sets it apart in the world of fitness competitions from an athlete who has been in the sport from the start

• Why females need to consider their unique physiology and use it in their training to improve performance and enhance recovery

• Jade’s personal journey as both an athlete and coach, and the lessons she’s learned along the way

Whether you’re new to Hyrox or deep in the performance game, this episode blends laughs, knowledge, and real-world advice to help you train smarter—especially if you’re a female athlete or coach working with women.

An episode we have been meaning to do for a while and one that has come at the perfect time. We hope you enjoy it as much as we enjoyed recording it!

This week, we’re joined by the latest, youngest star of the Hyrox season — Emilie Dahmen. At just 20 years old, Emilie made waves with a standout win at the Last Chance Qualifier in Barcelona, securing her spot in the Elite 15 for the World Championships.

We talk about her whirlwind journey, how it felt to compete (and crush it!) in Chicago, and what it's like to be the youngest athlete on the elite start line.

Emilie shares her mindset, training approach, and how she’s navigating the pressure, hype, and opportunities of becoming one of Hyrox’s most exciting new athletes. Oh — and she even shares a few tips from Gen Z on how to get the most out of ChatGPT.

One for the future — and one to watch right now, the 25/26 season is going to be an exciting one!
