HYROX SINGAPORE EXPO WOMENS OPEN 1:19:35 My best effort today got me a PB! I’m so proud of how deep I went today and even happier knowing there is still more to give (wallballs 🫠). Grateful for this race and the four solo ones this year that all broke and built me up to finally break 80 min! Full recap soon! Huge thank you to my husband @enjayboy for always pushing me to be better My coach @gabeheck for the solid programming and for trusting the marathon to hyrox experiment! And for the race pacing plan — it worked!!! Team @40lovedrinks for taking care of us this entire trip @lokalactive coaches and community for the solid support here and at home! @nutritiondepotph for our fuelling and supplements! @kgrecovery.ph for getting us race ready!

MISSION ACCOMPLISHED. I wish I could say it was a walk in the park, but this was easily the hardest run I’ve ever done. I went to a place I’ve never been to before mentally—not in my first two marathons, not even in any HYROX race I’ve finished (and those were already tough). By km 28, my legs felt like bricks. I kept wondering if it was an impending cramp or the wall they always talk about. At one point, I almost let go of my time goal—but instead, I chose to focus on one thing: keep moving forward. I did hit my goal, but I didn’t feel my strongest. Still, with how the race unfolded, I met the mentally toughest version of myself out there. She gave everything she had, and that makes me so damn proud. Marathons will never be easy, but after this one, my definition of “hard” will never be the same. Official time: 3:59:16 Full race recap soon. For now, I just want to thank everyone who’s been part of this journey; my husband @enjayboy my family, my coach @gabeheck , my PT @kgrecovery.ph and @nutritiondepotph for keeping my fuelling on point.

NEW IN THE SPORTS SCIENCE WORLD 💻 the ACSM just dropped their first major resistance training update in 17 years — 137 systematic reviews, over 30,000 participants; the most comprehensive resistance training guidelines ever published. and what does all of that evidence point to? you need less than you think to make a real difference! the most significant gains in strength, muscle size, and physical function don’t come from optimizing your program they ACTUALLY come from moving from doing nothing to doing something. any form of resistance training, whether that’s barbells in a gym, resistance bands at home, or your own bodyweight, produces meaningful results. the barrier to entry is much lower than most people believe! and though this isn’t groundbreaking, i think people should still be reminded of it! so many people don’t even start they have been stuck waiting for the right gym membership, the right schedule, the right coach, the right moment. but what the research is telling us is that the workaround already exists. it’s whatever form of training you can actually access and sustain right now with what you have or what’s accessible to you! what this also means is that compliance and consistency aren’t so out of reach after all. they are the primary variables. intensity, volume, and program complexity matter, but only once the habit of showing up is already in place. build the consistency first. let intensity follow. i’ll be breaking down the full findings over the next few posts — what the science says about building strength, building muscle, training for power, and the myths this position stand officially debunked. follow this series if you want the full picture! 🔖 📄 phillips et al.

@movemorgan x @lizkuczera 🇵🇭 NEW PH PRO WOMEN’S DOUBLES DUO RECORD HYROX Hong Kong 2026 1:11:13 A massive performance on the Hong Kong floor and now the fastest recorded time by a Filipino women’s pro doubles pair. Strong running. Strong station work. Strong partnership. Another step forward for Pinoy HYROX.

DOUBLES PRO / 1:11:23 🇭🇰 lil thought bubbles pre, during and post-race: 💭 there is power in narrative shifts: from “i’m not strong enough to keep up with the pro field” to “i had the courage to try keeping up with the pro field” / never let self limiting beliefs keep you from shooting your shot!! 💭 fun and struggle can coexist. so can calm in chaos (188 max HR 😭) and composure under pressure! 💭 trust your coach @gabeheck (who happens to be the fastest guy of the weekend 👀) even when the goal feels out of reach. great performances are often powered by big scary goals and falling short doesn’t necessarily mean failure 💭 results don’t define you but what you choose to make out of them does! you can be proud of your effort and still want to work harder without dismissing how far you’ve already come 💭 honestly felt like a baddie getting dragged around laps on end by an absolute weapon!!! a beast in whatever fitness arena you put her in but somehow still one of the kindest, most humble and encouraging humans… thriving primarily on bread and nutella 😭 can’t wait for the next one 🤝

DOUBLES OPEN / 1:16:23 🇭🇰 @samcor_ and i went to the same uni at the same time but we only got to meet on a brand trip in ‘24 which was also when i did my first ever hyrox. i remember having so much fun then so when she asked me to do this with her, that was also just my only goal. for her to enjoy her first hyrox experience and leave wanting to train for another one again! with this in mind, we only had one session together supervised by coach @heyochinang @lokalactive so we we’re pretty surprised with how this race turned out! again another reminder of that something good always come out when the goal is just to enjoy the experience! shoutout to the hyrox husbands too!! such troopers @enjayboy @diego5dario 🤘🏻

ep 2 update took a bit longer but we’ve been on it 💪 we were out for a long trip so it was harder to keep the momentum but after hyrox weekend we’re tightening things up!! what’s been clicking after the first 30/100 days: 💡 i’ve been preparing my food more and eating out less 💡i’ve figured out when my body needs fueling the most — before and after training sessions!! so i plan my meals around these time blocks. meal timing matters!!! 💡 don’t mind eating the same stuff as long as i like it! 💡 tracking on its own has been making me feel like i’m on top of everything. i love data!!! anyway in case u guys needed some reminding too! progress isn’t always in the numbers. sometimes it shows up as self-mastery, as noticing your own patterns and as proof that the habits are actually sticking! 70 days til 30! see ya at ep 3!

taper tips we’ve learned after 8 hyrox races 💭 there’s a difference between “making do” and actually preparing for the demands of the race — and having access to the right equipment just changes the quality of your sessions completely if you’re building for HYROX, this kind of space lets you train with intention — check out @omnifitnesscollective if you’re interested! they’re offering community classes starting next week and will be opening its doors real soon!

lately i’ve been challenging the coaching principles i used to swear by bc the truth is… more is not always better especially for the people i coach who are juggling careers, responsibilities, and life outside training even for me, someone who’s consistent, hitting 4–6 hours of training a week already takes intention, planning, and SO MUCH energy!! so instead of asking “how much more can we add?” i’ve been asking “what’s the minimum effective dose that still moves the needle?” because while progress isn’t always guaranteed, staying in the game long enough for it to happen is! here’s how that’s been showing up in my own training and with my clients: 1. flexible targets !!! what’s on the sheet isn’t set in stone adjusted > compromised > skipped ( @gabeheck thanks for being ok with this coach! ) 2. communicate: having time doesn’t always mean having capacity! your body isn’t a machine that can switch onto training mode just because your schedule allows it but make sure to loop your coach in, we can always adjust thr plan! 3. don’t overlook the basics the flashy sessions get the credit, butthe foundation sleep, recovery, and nutrition are where the real adaptations happen! fuel your sessions well and you’ll get more out of less :) 4. manage your expectations you can chase big goals, but remember what they’re for! they’re not the end, they’re just part of building a life where you feel strong, capable, and healthy long term 😌 this isn’t about having a streak of perfect weeks it’s about stacking enough good ones to stay in the game long enough to become the person you’re training to be!

nothing quite like seeing your person have the time of his life !!! your no 1 fan forever @enjayboy ❤️‍🔥
