Sam Briggs - "The Engine"

38 minutes

In this week’s episode of the Rox Lyfe podcast I get to chat

with the amazing Sam Briggs (@bicepslikebriggs).

In 2013, Sam was crowned the fittest woman on Earth, having

won the CrossFit Games. In 2023, 10 years later, at the CrossFit Games she was crowned the fittest woman on Earth in the 40-44 age group. She has appeared at the Games an incredible 11 times, has played football and taken part in triathlons to a very high level, has set 2 indoor rowing world records, and has also taken part in HYROX as part of the Elite 12 races back in 2020.

A little while back I asked our Instagram followers who they would like to hear as a dream guest for the show and this person’s name came up several times. It also comes up whenever I've asked who from the world of sport do people think could have a good crack at the HYROX world record if they dedicated some training time to it (she’s known as “The Engine” for good reason!).

Sam is a very special athlete – one of the greatest CrossFit athletes of all time and really one of the greatest British athletes of all time - and I think you’ll really enjoy our conversation all about mindset, training, her sporting experiences and more.
