The goal is not to feel completely recovered before you arrive at the next workout. The goal is to recover while moving, stay composed under pressure, and make smart decisions when fatigue starts to build.

New seasons bring new schedules, new responsibilities, and a chance to reset your priorities. If a HYROX race is on your calendar this fall, now is the time to create a training routine that works for your life today, not the “perfect” life you imagine having later.

Macros, short for macronutrients, are the nutrients your body needs in larger amounts to provide energy. The three primary macros are protein, carbohydrates, and fats. Protein and carbohydrates each provide 4 calories per gram, while fat provides 9 calories per gram.

Tapering is not time off from training. It is part of the training plan. The purpose of taper week is not to build more fitness. You cannot outwork 12 weeks of preparation in the final seven days. The fitness you built is the fitness you bring to race day.

HYROX race week is not the time to “eat clean” by underfueling, skipping carbohydrates, or testing a new supplement. My goal for HYROX DC 2026 is to arrive with full glycogen stores, a settled stomach, consistent hydration and a race-day plan I have already practiced in training.

Taper week is not about squeezing in one more hard workout or testing fitness. It is the deliberate reduction of training stress so the fitness built through months of running, strength work and HYROX-specific sessions can show up on race day.

Zone 2 is a key part of building the endurance, recovery, and long-term performance needed for fat loss, HYROX, and life outside the gym.

Wearable technology can be an incredibly helpful tool, but it should empower you, not make you anxious. Your recovery score is not your worth. A lower HRV does not mean you failed. A missed sleep goal does not erase your progress. Use your data to get curious, not critical.

Hybrid training is more than a trend—it's the foundation of how I coach. Whether you're preparing for your first HYROX event or simply looking to build strength, improve endurance, and perform at your best, my coaching is designed to help you train with purpose.

With a few smart strategies, you can order meals that support your nutrition goals while still enjoying the foods and restaurants you love. The secret is simple: prioritize protein first.

A strong HYROX performance comes from developing the systems that matter most: efficient movement, balanced strength, a powerful aerobic engine, and the ability to maintain speed under fatigue. When those pieces come together, race day feels less like survival and more like execution.

A 1:06 finish in HYROX Pro Doubles didn’t come from overtraining or adding more volume. It came from a focused HYROX training strategy that prioritized running efficiency, strength balance, and sustainable endurance.

This is your High-Protein Restaurant Survival Guide, built around the Add a Zero method, so you can walk into any restaurant, fast-food spot, or coffee run and know exactly how to order.

You don’t have to choose between a social life and your fitness goals. The real secret is knowing what to order and how to spot foods that are actually high in protein, not just marketed that way.

Hormonal shifts affect how you store fat and recover from training. Stress has a bigger metabolic impact. "Eating healthy" without tracking often means under-eating protein and over-eating everything else — which is exactly the pattern that stalls fat loss for women in this season of life.

Summer is about 8 weeks away. Trips are booked. Pool days and beach photos are coming. The reunion, the wedding, the vacation you swore you’d “be ready for” is right around the corner—and you’re still telling yourself the same story: “I’ll start next week.”

If you have been hearing about HYROX and wondering what it is, or if you are thinking about signing up for your first race, this guide will give you everything you need to know.
