Not sure if we’re training for HYROX or Britain’s Got Talent… 🤷‍♀️🎤😂

Either way, we’re getting stronger!

This is a big one… ❤️

Our boy took on his very first HYROX and we couldn’t be prouder.

He wasn’t even 100%. He’d eaten a dodgy chicken wing and I told him he didn’t have to do it… but he chose to step up anyway.

And he dug deep.

It wasn’t about times, or rankings (although try telling a 9 year old that!!!) it was about pushing himself out of his comfort zone! He was so nervous but desperate to do it.

These moments are bigger than sport. They’re about showing our kids what resilience looks like, how to face challenges, and how to believe in themselves.

If we lead by example, they follow. 💪

What a start. 🚀
His final words “that was so much fun “
I love you!!!!

Ok, so I think I made that look easy 🤣

So let me show you what was actually going on behind the scenes- with my heart ♥️

(If you like the science bit… this one’s for you 👇)
First bit… the warm up, anxiety and general OMG! THEN…. 💥

🔥 Avg HR: 174 bpm = ~89% of max
🔥 Peak HR: 182 bpm = ~93% of max

So for 1 hour 28 minutes I was working just under my limit the entire time 😮‍💨

🟥 Red = close to max effort
🟨 Yellow = barely any recovery

This is fitness racing in a nutshell:
👉 You’re not sprinting, but you’re also never really resting.

It’s a constant balance of pushing hard… without tipping over the edge

Then as soon as I’d finished ?!👀

That drop from red into blue/grey?

That’s recovery speed 💪

Which shows:
• My heart can come down quickly
• My body can clear fatigue efficiently
• I can recover just enough… to keep going again

In simple terms:
👉 I can suffer and recover while still moving.

So yes… I smiled 😊

But inside it was more like:
🥵 “just breathe”
😵‍💫 “keep it together”
🧠 “don’t blow up now”

That’s not easy and last time I didn’t do this and blew out 💥 💥

That’s staying calm on the outside, while your body is working VERY hard on the inside 😏🔥

ANYONE can do this. Just train. Stay consistent and it’s on! ✌️💪
