►► Download FREE Guide → How I lost 2 lbs a week as an athlete with asthma: https://www.athletewithasthma.com/healthy-living-guide [https://www.athletewithasthma.com/healthy-living-guide] Are you spending too much time training the wrong parts of HYROX? Most athletes focus on shaving seconds off individual stations when the biggest gains actually come from improving their running strategy. In this video, I share why I believe many HYROX athletes are losing minutes without realizing it and how a simple shift in training can dramatically improve race performance. Drawing from my experience as an ultra-marathon runner, 100K race winner, and athlete living with asthma for over 30 years, I'll walk you through the mindset and strategy that helped me complete my first HYROX simulation in under an hour with zero specific HYROX training. In this episode you'll learn: * Why running is the biggest opportunity to improve your HYROX time * The common training mistake that costs athletes valuable minutes * When to push hard and when to recover during the race * How pacing affects your overall finish time * Why confidence at each station matters more than chasing personal records Whether you're preparing for your first HYROX, racing doubles, or chasing a new personal best, these principles can help you race smarter, conserve energy, and perform at your highest level.

►► Download FREE Guide → How I lost 2 lbs a week as an athlete with asthma: https://www.athletewithasthma.com/healthy-living-guide [https://www.athletewithasthma.com/healthy-living-guide] Are rest days actually helping you... or are they quietly holding you back? Before you come for me in the comments, I’m not saying you should run marathons or crush intense workouts every day. What I am saying is this: daily movement might be one of the most powerful habits you can build for your health, longevity, mental well-being, and performance. In this episode, I share why I move my body every single day, how consistent exercise has transformed my life, and why I believe many people use rest days as an excuse to stop moving altogether. You'll learn: * How regular exercise can improve longevity and reduce all-cause mortality * Why daily movement boosts mood and mental health * How staying active makes everyday life easier * The unexpected benefit of always being ready for physical challenges * Why consistent movement helps me manage my asthma as an athlete with asthma Whether your movement is running, walking, gardening, hiking, playing sports, or simply getting outside for a few minutes, the goal is the same: keep moving.
