This episode is a very honest and open conversation following the Barcelona LCQ where unfortunately Maria didn't manage to secure her spot in the Elite 15 at World Champs.

We talk about how to deal with this and that it is important not to tie your identity to a race result. Maria tells us about her awesome Pro Doubles race in Miami with Jess Pettrow where they qualified for the Elite 15 Doubles at Worlds and we also talk about the difference between racing doubles and solo.

What an episode!! We were buzzing that our diaries aligned and we could record this epic episode with power couple Clare & Emma!Clare gives us an insight into life as a Hyrox Race Director, Master Trainer, Coach, Athlete and more... it's fair to say she's juggling a lot of plates but is so passionate about this sport and it really shows. It was lovely to learn more about her background, her own training experiences and what the future holds. Emma is the running queen, she is a specific running coach, mainly marathon distance and has done a fair few herself!! As well as running marathons Emma has also completed 24hrs of burpees... yes you heard that right! We talk all about this and about mindset.... if you take anything away from this episode it should be Emmas positive self talk, you will for sure by hyped and ready to hit your next hard session or PB your race after listening to this one - thank you Emma, we all need you on our shoulder when the doubts set in!! Clare and Emma combined have a wealth of knowledge and experience in different areas, they compliment each other and lean on each other - they really are the dream team and it was a joy to spend an hour chatting to them. We could've talked for hours but our diaries only managed to align for an hour, we therefore didn't get round to asking the cheeky insight questions but Clare kindly sent us through some answers as we thought you would still all love to know!! Thanks guys!! See below :) To get lots of Hyrox & Running tips give the girls a follow @clare-rafferty_ & @emmakirkyoIf you enjoyed this episode then give the show a follow and leave us a cheeky review :) You can also follow us on instagram @rad_chix_ to get updates on our next guests and all things Hyrox!Cheeky Insights from Clare Rafferty :1. What shoes do you wear to race Hyrox? Puma Nitro or Adidas Adizero2. Which is your favourite Hyrox venue? I'm obsessed with Glasgow. But I do have Grand Palais soon and I feel that will be the one! Also Navy Pier is gonna be insane!3. What is your favourite Hyrox station? Honestly - the run (haha) I wouldn' t choose any of them! But if I had to pick then maybe the sled push. I like the feeling of 'I can't feel my legs'. I can tell you I hate the ski and the lunges - I have to work so hard for them!4. If you could do a doubles with anyone in the world who would you choose? Emma (GF Points)5. Do you fuel for Hyrox and if so what do you use and when do you take it? Day before the race - any race - we have pasta, it's a bit of a ritual. Then race day, depending on time, keep it simple and have carbs only. If it's later in the day I'll have protein in the AM or even at lunch. As a rule of thumb, 2hrs before CARBS, then in the warm up a gel. Then more for mental than anything some sugar sweets in doubles or if I'm really gunning for it a gel again after the burpees in solo. It's more mental for me tbh than nutritional gains.6. What is your favourite type of training session for Hyrox? I like a long slog. Anything that gets your HR up and you just keep moving then I'm in! It's the short sharp all out ones I struggle with! Thank you!!

We also talk doubles tactics and get some top tips to help with splitting stations depending on abilities, there is loads of awesome information to take away from this episode!Vienna was on the cards with Lee Tuck but since recording this episode Lee had to pull out and Tony raced with Danny Rae - setting the Open Men's Doubles British Record in a time of 49:46 - EPIC!!

Gabriella or 'Get Fit Gabby' as she is better known on instagram has been an inspirational athlete to both of us since we started following her well over a year ago.

She works hard, she takes her weaknesses and turns them into strengths and she encourages others to do the same. Gabby is a true example of hard work and consistency paying off, she does the simple things right and she is getting stronger and stronger.

In this episode we have an awesome chat with Australian athlete Jess Pettrow. Living in the states after moving out to focus on her track and field career, Jess told us how she lost her love of running but found it again when she started competing in Hyrox. She is made for this sport and has certainly shown it. A last minute roll down spot for the Amsterdam Major saw Jess jump on a plane and rock up halfway across the world to put in a storming performance and take 6th place. She has proven to herself and everyone else she deserves to be at the top of this sport and we cannot wait to see what her season holds.

Ever wondered how Hyrox set up these huge races? Races like London Olympia for example where thousands of people walk through the doors to race or spectate over 3 days being set off in waves every 10 minutes? Have you ever stopped to think how long it must take to set up the race venue and pack it away? Do you know how many times they measure that running track so they can confirm it hits 1km at every venue? We were lucky enough to talk to Suzy who explained just how Hyrox do it and we promise you will be blown away with the organisation, teamwork and dedication to make your Hyrox race experience the best it could be! Next time you race, make sure you thank the volunteers, event staff and if you see them the race directors because these legends are doing an incredible job to grow this sport! Thank you guys!
