Don’t just train harder. Train smarter.
As Boston’s @hyroxamerica Coach and a Footwear Engineer, I make it my mission to educate my athletes on not just how to move, but the “why” behind the gear they choose. The right footwear makes a massive difference in your efficiency, your power output, and your recovery.
That’s why I’m hyped to have @saucony joining us on Thursday, June 11th and letting us trial the Endorphin Speed 5.
This is one of my go-to choices in my rotation as a daily trainer for HYBRID training. It’s a game changer for this space because it balances the snap of a nylon plate for those 1k repeats with the stability you need for heavy sleds and wall balls.
-Sign-ups open: 5/19/26 Tuesday at 9:30 AM.
-Access: This is strictly First Come, First Served (FCFS).
My mailing list gets the direct link first. DM me your email address so I can add you to the list and ensure you don’t miss the window.
The Details: Thursday, June 11th | 7:10 PM
Location: @everybodyfights Seaport
Upgrade your rotation. See you soon.

UNDERHAND SLED PUSH — THE DETAIL NOBODY TALKS ABOUT
I see coaches saying “go underhand” all the time.
But nobody’s talking about what happens when your back is angled wrong.
Here’s the issue: if you’re pushing with an inclined slope to your upper body, you’re actually pulling UP on the sled. That drives the front edge down into the turf, creating MORE friction.
More friction = more wasted energy.
The fix is simple physics:
Drive your head and chest OVER the plates. Eyes down, looking directly at them.
This creates a horizontal line with your back and now you’re pushing through the sled, not lifting it.
Make this one adjustment and watch how much smoother that sled moves.
Save this for your next session.

No sleds? No problem.
We’ve all been there. The turf’s packed, sleds are taken, and you’re standing around waiting.
Don’t.
Grab a cable machine and a rope attachment. This is my go-to sled pull substitute.
The key:
-Fully extend those arms
-Extend your hips out and lean back
-Do NOT hunch over with hips back and upper body leaning forward pulling. That will tax your lower back
-Let your body do the work
I’ve mapped out my “box” — 5 steps, roughly 6.5 feet to keep me in check.
5 sets of 8 walk-backs. Superset it with something else if you want.
Works at any gym. Works when you’re traveling. Works when the turf is taken.
Train efficiently. Follow the M3THOD.

Last week was a total full-circle moment working with @nikerunning & @mirandamross
This one hit differently because this is exactly where my footwear career first began. Being back with the brand that started it all while mashing together my two worlds.
I see it too often: athletes wearing the wrong gear because a brand claimed their shoe “does it all.” I’m telling you right now, one shoe cannot do it all.
The Pegasus 42 is the ultimate everyday workhorse for short to medium runs and certain HIIT movements—an unreal addition to any rotation. As a @hyroxamerica Performance Coach, I’m here to bridge the gap between footwear education and training. When you’re in the right gear, performance follows.
The energy last Thursday at EBF was unreal. DM me to get looped into our Thursday night HYROX classes. We have more events like this dropping in the coming months. 😏🤫
Thank you again @mirandamross 🙏🏽

No ski erg at your gym? Ball slams are the answer.
Same hip drive pattern. Same body mechanics. The key is keeping the movement efficient, hips back, not down. And watch where that ball lands. Eye level or between your feet. Never too far out in front.
This is how you build ski erg conditioning without the machine.
Save this for your next session.

3 knee surgeries taught me what no program ever could.
I thought getting a coach meant harder workouts. More structure. More intensity.
Instead, she asked how many hours I was sleeping.
The real lesson? Your body isn’t going to feel 100% every day. And that voice pushing you to keep going can be your greatest strength or the thing that sets you back.
Most athletes don’t get hurt from the training. They get hurt from ignoring the signs and pushing through anyway.
Coaches need coaches too.
Drop a 🙋🏽♂️ if you’ve learned this the hard way.

Oh boy… Nike is coming through! 🔥
On April 30th, @nikerunning is joining us at @everybodyfights to let the Thursday HYROX night crew trial the new Pegasus 42. This is Nike’s most trusted, everyday workhorse for running.
As I always say: when you’re in the right footwear, performance follows.
The Vibe:
-Exclusive Giveaways
-Post-workout after-party at F1
Catch events like this exclusively at Thursday night HYROX group trainings with @sal__martinez
Note: The waitlist is currently FULL for this session. DM me if you want to be looped in first when the next event drops so you don’t miss out.

Consistency is a byproduct of enjoyment. If you’re constantly fighting your training plan, you’ve already lost. Whether it’s a Hyrox prep you aren’t sold on or a lifting program that bores you, a “punishment” mindset leads straight to burnout.
Adherence happens when you stop negotiating with yourself and start looking forward to the work.
For me, that’s the balance of strength and speed. That engagement is what keeps me showing up, week after week.
The Blueprint: My Favorite Split for beginners
If you’re looking for a framework to build that consistency, here is the weekly split I give my first timers to stay engaged and HYROX-ready:
-Monday: Lower Body + Endurance
-Tuesday: Upper Body + Erg Work
-Wednesday: Running Intervals
-Thursday: Full Recovery
-Friday: Full Body Strength
-Saturday: HYROX Conditioning
-Sunday: Long Run
Use this as a guide, not a rulebook.
Save this if you’re building something long term.

This is one of my favorite benchmarks for new clients.
We hit this in Week 1, then we circle back in Week 7/8 to prove exactly how much work we’ve put in.
The Test:
-Part 1: Cooper 12-Minute Run (Max distance)
Rest 5 Mins. Then straight into:
-Part 2: 150 Cal Ski for Time
Running simulations every weekend isn’t a program. It’s just a workout.
If you aren’t testing, you aren’t progressing.
Drop your distances and times below.

Sleds have always been my favorite station. Especially the pulls.
But if you want to move from a “finisher” to a “competitor,” you have to stop looking at the sled as just a strength movement. You have to look at the transitions.
What helped me BIG TIME in shedding time and cracking the Top 15 was one simple adjustment: Running to the other side of the box.
The athlete next to me is walking back to the rope. There is nothing “wrong” with that, but if you are chasing a PR, those walking steps are wasted seconds.
The issue I see most often is that people train sleds when they’re fresh. It’s easy to move fast when your heart rate is at 120. But in a race, you’re hitting the sleds with heavy legs and you feel your heart rate spiking a bit. If you haven’t practiced running during that fatigue, your body will naturally default to a walk to survive.
You don’t just train the pull. You train the capacity to move after the pull.
Stop training for comfort.
And tag a walker 😈😂

As the saying goes... Rome wasn’t built in a day.
Nobody builds something great in one moment. It’s built in the daily reps. the early mornings, the extra mile, the boring consistency.
But here’s the part most people skip: There will be setbacks. Currently, I’m navigating an injury, and it forces a shift in perspective. I have two choices: I can dwell on the frustration and let it ruin my day, or I can embrace the reality that this feeling isn’t going to last forever. This is a season, not the finish line.
That’s exactly what I tell those I train. There will be moments where you feel like absolute shit. You may get injured. Or may feel like you’re moving backward.
Don’t ignore that feeling. And let it fuel you. Use that hunger to get back as the spark to be better than you were before. You just need to keep showing up.
The people who win just stay in the process longer than everyone else. We build this brick by brick, every damn day.
