Join Director of Coaching Ariana Scalfo as she chats with her friend (and hero) Lauren Weeks. Lauren is a 3x Hyrox World Champion, CrossFit competitor, DekaFit solid, 2x GoRuck Games competitor, Spartan Games Champion, Spartan Race winner, and Battle Bunker finalist 2022/contender 2023. After her explosion into hybrid athletics thanks to Deka's unstoppable Yancy Culp, Lauren has dominated every sport she touches. She's also a mother of a 1 year old daughter, and has competed in nearly all of these competitions within the last year.

• What brought Lauren to hybrid training from CrossFit?
• How did she adjust her training initially, and how has her approach to training for these events evolved as she has spent more time training and competing?
• How does she choose which competitions to prioritize, when she's got so many to choose from?
• What were the challenges in pregnancy and postpartum, and how does she feel it's affected her priorities and fitness a year later?
• Advice for new moms (Ariana's 20 weeks into her own pregnancy, upon recording)
• What is her new training program, The Hybrid Engine, and how do they approach programming?
• What are the benefits of setting 'intentions' for individual weekly workouts, as well as strategies for races?
• How to approach your first race or event of a new kind
• And more.
