Fitness Racing Podcast UKHXR

Joda Quigley competed in the first ever HYROX in the U.K. alongside husband John. Since those early days Joda launched GIRLCODE BOX which has been helping athletes discover and compete in HYROX for over two years.
Today we speak to Joda alongside Kirsty Campbell and Leanne Bain from the gym. We cover how the gym has evolved with HYROX from those early days until now.
We also cover plenty of tips for athletes including improving as a runner and finding the right sled pull technique for you.

This week we chat with Jason Curtis the owner of Deadly Dozen races. The event has gained a lot of traction already ahead of its launch in June in Macclesfield. This includes managing to sell out their September race in less than a day.
 
We discuss the event, what people can expect and also Jason’s philosophy when it comes to Fitness Races. We also take a look at the Deadly Dozen manual which is not just a rule book but a companion guide for anyone wanting to take on any fitness races.

Sarah Holden returns to the show to discuss the ups and downs of the last 12 months. After struggling with a calf injury late last season, Sarah’s health took a turn for the worse in October 2023 when she discovered she had a pulmonary embolism (PE). PE is a serious and sometimes fatal health condition.
We discuss with Sarah the circumstances leading up to discovering the PE, her recovery and her return to racing at HYROX Glasgow. We also chat about what’s next for her and how she got on with the Crossfit Open.

This week we welcome Caitlin Robbins and Bryony Keys to the show to discuss the ROX QUEENS community.

Whilst existing in other sports, nationwide communities are still a new concept in Fitness Racing. ROX QUEENS is a support network and movement, dedicated to fostering connections and empowering female athletes to challenge themselves both mentally and physically from first timers to some of the Elites.

We learn about their beginnings as online community and how they have grown in such a short period of time. We chat about their recent expansion into organising local fitness event and socials across the UK. Finally, we find out about their future plans including the fact that they are going Global with an expansion into Australia ahead of the upcoming HYROX season this summer.
