BYD HYROX ā Race Recap š
Funnily enough, this was the best Iāve ever felt going into a race⦠not exactly what a typical Hyrox block looks like š
Training has been focused on max velocity, speed, and power ā with games weekend to weekend. Priority has been performing on the pitch and building toward hockey state titles.
The goal? Maintain the base, sprinkle in erg work where possible⦠then about 3 weeks out, reintroduce sleds, ergs, and a touch of race sim.
Some hockey fundamentals transfer really well into Hyrox ā others, not so much. Thatās the trade-off. But this time, I think we found the balance.ļæ½(@whynot_perform we nailed that shit)
A side quest turned into a 6-minute PB and a podium finish with a time of 1:04:59 š
ļæ½Definitely not complaining⦠but I know thereās more in the tank.
With one last thing. My support crew! I heard you loud and clear from the minute I hit the ski to my last wall ball - I am so grateful to have you guys in my corner š¤
But, next up:
- State Champs
- Noosa Half Marathon
Then we lock in for Sydney šļæ½Mixed Doubles ā letās go.
BRING IT TF ON!!

The truths youāre missingā¦.
šš½ Consistency Beats Perfection
You do not need to train perfectly ā you need to keep showing up. People who make progress long term are the ones who stay consistent through busy weeks, low motivation days, setbacks, and seasons of life. Small efforts repeated over time always win.
šTrain Specific to Your Goals
Your training should match the outcome you want. Want to build muscle? Train for hypertrophy. Want to perform in sport? Train like an athlete. Random workouts create random results.
š§ Recovery Is Part of the Program
More is not always better. Sleep, nutrition, hydration, mobility, and managing stress all directly impact performance and progress. You donāt grow during training ā you adapt and improve during recovery.
š„Intensity Has a Time and Place
Not every session should leave you destroyed. Hard days should be hard, but easy days should actually be easy. Learning how to balance intensity allows you to perform better, recover faster, and stay healthy long term.
š„ Nutrition Fuels Performance
Food is not just about aesthetics ā it is fuel. Eating enough and eating with intent supports energy, recovery, muscle growth, hormone health, and performance. Under-fuelling will eventually catch up with you.
šŖš½ Progress Is Built Through Structure
A good program has purpose, progression, and direction. Repeating the basics, tracking performance, and progressively overloading over time will always outperform constantly changing workouts.
š The Basics Work
You do not need fancy hacks or trends. Quality training, enough food, recovery, sleep, and consistency will always be the foundation.
š§ Long-Term Thinking Wins
Real progress takes time. Sustainable habits, patience, and focusing on long-term growth will always beat chasing quick fixes. Build a body and mindset that lasts, not just one that looks good for a short season.
These are the exactly ways I go about my training and, how I support and program for my clients - Dm me āWORKā and letās start your journey today!

Obsessed š¤ @adidasfieldhockey
Focus - Ball control, change of pace, carry of ball and staying low.
No shooting, no cool fun stuff. Just reps of the same drill over and over again with some variation (for 40 minutes š« straight)
I may not be the most talented and my story may be a little different to most, but Iām going to be the hardest worker youāll ever see!
āObsession beats talentā - every time!!

The planā¦..?
Working towards my goals ā with purpose.
Training with quality, intent, and intensity.
Following the plan, prioritising recovery, and actually taking the easier days easy.
Excited to head into this next block as I prepare for Open Nationals Hockey Champs while still maintaining and building towards HYROX Sydney.
New block starts next week with a bit of a shift in the schedule and session structure ā moving things around, pinpointing key sessions with more intent, and getting even more specific as I hit the middle of hockey season.
Definitely leaning more hockey-focused right now, while maintaining my HYROX fitness š®āšØ
