Fitness Racing Podcast

This week, fresh off her HYROX Elite Solo Debut we talk to Kat Parnell. We take a deep dive into her journey over the last six months from racing in the Pro category in the World Championships to just missing out on an Elite 15 Worlds spot in Melbourne. We look into the races that earned Kat her starting spot and also the lessons she learned along the way. This includes realising that sometimes it's important to take a step back to give yourself time to process what you have achieved. Finally we break down Kat's Melbourne race and hear how she felt about her performance both in the moment and subsequently.

The Secret Coach to the HYROX Elite – Mike Chadwick This week on the show we are joined by Mike Chadwick. Mike is former Paratrooper, Special Forces Support Group Operator, Royal Army Physical Training Corps Instructor and author. When he left the forces, Mike originally worked exclusively with Tactical Athletes to get them ready to serve. However, he has since welcomed athletes from all walks of life including many HYROX athletes. The techniques he uses get results, but Mike is discrete about his client base unless they consent to publicity. There is a good chance that your favourite athlete has visited the RedOn HYROX Performance Centre. Alongside the HYROX Performance Centre Mike has multiple other ventures which we discuss including a book, a Backyard Ultra and his own sock company. We consider all of this and some of Mike's top tips for helping you to prioritize what you need to prioritize.   Find Mike on IG – @coachmikechadwick Find Red On online - https://redon.group/   If you have any questions about the show or would like to explore advertising opportunities, feel free to reach out to us at admin@ukocr.com. 👉 Learn more about us by clicking here💖 Enjoy what we do?
