Deadly Dozen Brisbane 🥈 | 42mins

Huge congrats to on hosting an awesome event! Really enjoyed the format — shorter runs with some spicy stations in between that definitely tested the muscular endurance 💪🏽 I’ll definitely be back next year 🙌

So good seeing the .mthd crew out there, with 12 athletes showing up and giving it their all in some tough conditions. Super proud of everyone for the effort and energy you brought! 🔥

And congrats to .james.kelly on setting a new APAC record — unreal work 👊🏽

🚀 I’m now officially a HYROX Performance Coach!

I recently completed the HYROX Level 1 Coaching Course and thoroughly enjoyed it. The course is incredibly well structured, combining instructional videos, readings, and quizzes that make learning both engaging and practical.

If you’re looking to coach HYROX athletes, this course is an absolute must! 👇

My 5 Key Takeaways from the HYROX Level 1 Coaching Course:

1️⃣ Coaching for Everyone
The HYROX community includes athletes of all ages, backgrounds, and abilities. Great coaching means being adaptable, empathetic and creative, meeting athletes where they are and helping them reach their potential.

2️⃣ Holistic Performance Demands
HYROX requires endurance, strength, speed, power, coordination, and flexibility. Understanding how to develop and balance these elements within a program is key to athlete success.

3️⃣ Nutrition Matters
Nutrition underpins HYROX performance, recovery, and race-day readiness. Knowing how to optimise macronutrients, micronutrients, supplements, and fuelling strategies is crucial for maximising results.

4️⃣ Coaching Beyond Programming
Effective coaching goes far beyond sets and reps. True mastery lies in developing soft skills such as communication, emotional intelligence, mindset, and relationship building. Supporting athletes through building mental resilience, preventing burnout, and managing race-day nerves are key examples of this in practice.

5️⃣ The Power of Periodisation
Year-round HYROX training is possible when programs are smartly periodised. Structuring training phases with clear objectives helps prevent burnout, reduce injury risk, and ensure athletes peak when it matters most.

It’s incredible to see how fast HYROX is growing and the community that’s forming around it. I’m pumped to keep helping more people get involved, achieve their goals, and experience everything this amazing sport has to offer. 🙌

Saturday morning parkrun 🏃‍♂️

Chip time: 16.21 (3.16min/km)

Stoked with this result as goal was to try and crack a sub 16.30 5k for the first time.

Lots of PBs for the .mthd members over the weekend too. The crew is on fire!! 🔥

My running is slowly improving while continuing to maintain strength. Loving the process.

Keep showing up legends!! 👊🏽
