I’m racing London Olympia this week with (AD Invite) - it will be 5th Solo HYROX (wahhhh!), and my kids and parents will be down to support me…so SUPER pumped for it!

Here are my TOP 🔟 RACE DAY TIPS

1️⃣ Arrive early so your nervous system stays calm
Give yourself plenty of time to check in (with your ID), collect your chip, and familiarise yourself with the course, soak in the atmosphere…calm energy beats rushed energy every time.

2️⃣ Carb-loading isn’t optional, it’s strategic
High carbs in the days leading up support glycogen stores, energy output, and overall performance. Carb load up to 2 days before.

3️⃣ Your pre-race meal should be high-carb and familiar
Oats, bagels, pancakes, crumpets, fruit, honey…nothing new, nothing fancy, just fuel your body knows.

4️⃣ Timing your fuel matters as much as what you eat
Aim to eat around 3 hours before your race so you’re energised without feeling heavy.

5️⃣ Hydration means electrolytes, not just water
Increase electrolytes 2 days before racing and use them intentionally on race morning.

6️⃣ A proper warm-up prepares both body and mind
Get into the warm-up zone 30–40 minutes before your start so you feel physically ready and mentally locked in.

7️⃣ Spike your heart rate briefly before the start
Short bursts of effort followed by rest wake up the nervous system and help you feel race-ready without burning out.

8️⃣ Expect discomfort — it’s part of the experience
HYROX is a mental battle as much as a physical one. Pace the early stations, respect the sleds and burpees, and trust you’ll find a second wind later.

9️⃣ Smiling is an actual performance tool
Smiling releases endorphins, reduces stress, and can actually make discomfort feel more manageable…plus, you worked hard to be there.

🔟 Celebrate the finish and be proud of yourself
You did something HARD. Take it all in, enjoy the moment, and acknowledge what your body just achieved.

5️⃣ mistakes HYROX athletes make before going into their first race and how to avoid them:

Problem 1️⃣: Going Out Too Hot on Lap 1

Adrenaline, crowds, and cameras make athletes sprint the first lap…then pay for it by Run 3.

Solution: Treat the opening laps as controlled settling-in. Aim to conserve energy from Laps 1-3, keeping your breathing steady and legs relaxed. Think: “Conserve early → Build mid-race → Push to finish.”

Problem 2️⃣: Underestimating the Sled Pull

The pull feels nothing like training because every venue has different friction, carpet, and bungee like ropes. Most athletes blow their forearms out too early.

Solution: Prepare for variety. Train with heavier-than-race weight, different surfaces, different ropes, and longer distances. Aim to pull (+ push) half a lap before resting to delay forearm fatigue and reduce lactic acid build-up in both sled pull and sled push.

Problem 3️⃣: Not Pacing the Row

Even strong rowers full send the first 300m and spike their heart rate, making the next run feel awful.

Solution: Use the row as a controlled rhythm station, not a sprint. Find a pace you can maintain without redlining I.e smooth strokes, calm breathing and intentional recovery.

Problem 4️⃣: Poor Race-Day Fueling

Either eating too much and feeling sick… or eating nothing and hitting the wall at Run 5.

Solution: Follow the 4-2-1 Fueling Rule:
• 4 hours out: Carb-heavy meal (& a bit of protein)
• 2 hours out: High-carb snack
• 1 hour out: Carb drink or light carb snack

If you’re prone to hitting a wall mid-race, tuck a gel into your shorts and take it just before the row.

Problem 5️⃣: Not Preparing for Wall Balls

What happens: No-reps, missed targets, poor depth or untrained shoulders that blow up fast.

Solution: Practice with intent:
• Squat into a wall ball to train consistent depth
• Hit a target higher than race standard
• Train with a heavier ball to build capacity and reduce no-reps on race day

HYROX RACE DAY TRUTHS

If you’ve never done a HYROX, here’s the honest truth…
It’s SUCH a vibe!
It’s loud.
It’s chaotic.
And it will push you in so many ways no normal workout ever has.

Race day starts long before the first run.
Checking in. Watching other heats (key to help with mental rehearsal). Try to act calm while your heart rate is already climbing.
The arena hits you all at once…music blasting, crowds roaring, athletes everywhere, nerves buzzing! Yup it’s a vibe!

Then the race begins.

8x 1km runs.
8 stations that test you way more than just fitness:
• lungs on fire
• legs shaking
• grip giving up
• brain fog when you least expect it
Real exercising under fatigue and you don’t want to stop because the vibe is real…trust me you will know what I mean when you are there.

Top Tip: Don’t sprint the first run or station. Everyone feels amazing…until they don’t.

Some stations feel doable…others feel personal
And somewhere around the middle, everyone has the same thought:
“Why did I sign up for this?”

That’s the moment that matters most.

Because something shifts.
You stop racing everyone else (which you should never do in the first place) and start racing you.
You find rhythm. You realise you’re stronger than your doubts.

Top Tip: Break it down. One run. One station. One rep at a time.

The finish line isn’t about the time on the clock.
It’s about proving to yourself that you can keep going when everything in your body says stop.
It’s about showing up, staying in it, and not quitting.

First race takeaway?
HYROX isn’t just a fitness test.
It’s a MINDSET test. DIG DEEP. YOU CAN. YOU WILL.

And once you experience it…
you understand the obsession.
You recover.
You reflect.
And you start looking at the next race 👀🖤💛

If you’re thinking about signing up….do it.
You don’t need to be perfect.
You just need to start.

🔟 Things I Wish I Knew Before My First HYROX - And That You Should Know too!! 👊🏼

1️⃣ Burpee Broad Jumps
Every rep starts with your chest on the ground. Don’t skip it. Missing that touch costs you a penalty, and when you jump forward, ensure your feet are parallel!

2️⃣ Burpee / Lunge Strategy
Avoid the burst-and-pause approach. Find a steady rhythm you can maintain so you can transition straight into running without burning out.

3️⃣ Sled Push
Stop about 5 steps before your legs start burning. Lactate rises exponentially and clears slowly. Pace your effort to maintain consistent speed across all zones.

4️⃣ Farmer’s Carry
Grip strength is everything. Use chalk. Dropping the weights can cost you precious seconds.

5️⃣ ROX Zone Efficiency
Every second counts. Don’t linger, get in, execute, and move on.

6️⃣ Run Smart
Use your runs to bring your heart rate down, ideally into the 160s and below LT2 (Lactate Threshold 2). This helps you sustain effort through the entire race.

7️⃣ Wall Balls
Drop your arms between throws to release shoulder tension. Keep your head neutral, look with your eyes, not your neck to breathe more efficiently.

8️⃣ Sled Pull Rope Management
Each pull should feel more like a deadlift than a squat. After each pull, throw your rope on your side, with tension so you don’t trip over it and you can get the rope back with as much tension as you can.

9️⃣ SkiErg Damper Setting
In my first race, I used 10… now I use 3-4. Finding the right damper setting is essential for efficiency.

🔟 Rower Strategy
Use the rower to reset, not to sprint. Saving 5 seconds per 500m won’t change your result, but spiking your HR by 10% will make the rest of the race way harder.

The early morning wakes ups have taught me a lot.

And honestly, I’ve been waking up before the world to run and strength train before I even had kids. Ive always had full time work and it was the only time I could.

So this is not new to me. Does it make it any easier every morning though…not at all!

I’ve established habits and routines that make this possible.

Because honestly, if I waited for the perfect time, parent or not, I’d never train the way I do now.

I’m not saying you HAVE to run early, I know we all have different situations, I am just sharing my reality, my learnings, my life 🫶

So here we go…
Here’s what running at 5am has taught me as mum of 3

💪🏼I’m stronger than I realise
Every morning insane to get out of my bed tired and make the choice to do something hard

⏰Not allowing your kids to be your alarm is an empowerment
I never let my kids be my alarm. I appreciate being in control of my mornings and immediately waking up on the defence

🤫The “quiet” is a gift
No kids asking questions. No notifications. No demands. Just time and space to think

👌🏼Waiting to the “perfect time” is a trap
If I waited till my schedule cleared, I’d never train. The only reason it works is because I prioritise and made time before the world would take it.

🗓️Discipline beats motivation every time.
At 4:45am when my alarm goes off, motivation is rarely there. But habit is. And I’ve learnt that consistency built in the dark hours when the sun is rising compounds in ways motivation never will.

⚡️You can take back your power too
SAVE this as a reminder. SHARE it with a mum you think is going a great job or needs some extra external motivation.

You are more powerful than you think you are.

SAVE this and SHARE it with a mama you think is doing a great job🫶🏻💖

Just experienced the dreamiest with lymphatic drainage, hydration boost and LED therapy at their London flagship HQ.

The patented lymphatic device uses high-pressure suction in a specialised technique to gently massage and drain your lymph nodes which boosts circulation, reduces puffiness, detoxifies, and tones the skin instantly!

Paired with the deep-cleansing, hydrating vortex of the and targeted LED light therapy stimulates collagen, calms inflammation, and helps reduce congestion…this treatment really is doing everything.

Completely pain-free, unbelievably relaxing, and the glow is IMMEDIATE. I honestly wish it lasted longer!

They recommend one a month and I already can’t wait for my next 😉

Look on the for your nearest therapist - did mine and she is fantastic!

I don’t run early because it’s aesthetic.

I run early because it protects my evenings.

That one decision changed everything.

Here’s what works for me:
🌅 5am starts
📅 Plan sessions weekly, not daily
🎯 One purpose per run
🛑 Hard stop time

No “just one more rep.”
No ego miles.

It means:
• I’m home when it matters
• I’m not resentful
• I’m not scrambling

It’s not perfect.
It’s structured.
I’m disciplined.

👇
If you’re a parent trying to balance fitness and family, know you’re not alone. It’s a juggle and I get it. I fit in my runs usually when the house is asleep so I don’t impact my kids time as I want to show up and be there for them when they need me, but I still get to pour into me.

FOLLOW along for realistic training around real life.

Who can relate?

Get in the driving set and get intentional with your movement and start today!

Show your little ones how it’s done because discipline is the highest form of self respect.

There’s always a plan and it’s never too late to start.

1️⃣You do not need a laundry list of exercises per workout!
4-6 is the perfect amount to be able to give your all. Think compound movements if you are lacking time. More importantly go heavy! Challenge yourself, that is where yo will see change.

2️⃣Embrace progressive overload.
It can be boring and repetitive, but it is crucial for muscle growth, metabolic boost and fat loss. Challenge your muscles beyond their comfort zone to allow them to adapt and grow. As you add weight you will burn more fat as your muscles grow (not bulk)!

3️⃣Just because you workout does not mean you will see results!
Your nutrition matters…you cannot out train a bad diet…whether it is because you are over eating and eating out, or under eating or quite often not eating enough. Strength training is hungry work - you need to fuel your body in order to see progress. Food is fuel.

4️⃣Ladies you will NOT bulk lifting weights!
Leave the 12+ rep range behind. Heavier weights and fewer reps = gains! Trust me on this and trust the process!

5️⃣Rest days matter!
Rest days are just as important as working days. You may have to switch up training some weeks to keep the body guessing, but rest days are crucial for muscle growth, progress, motivation, and they help to avoid over training and avoiding injury.

6️⃣ Lift weights for life!
Lifting weights are essential for longevity of your body and mind. Walking up stairs, picking up kids, getting in and out the car - all of this is functional and to be able to do this as we age we need to lift weight. As we lift weights our bone density will get stronger.

Muscle is the key to longevity

Thanks for giving me the best job in the world.
- Motherhood -

This hug is everything. My children.

The most incredible day - celebrating my seventh Mother’s Day!🌸

The love that I have for my sons and daughter words can’t describe. So many people say how you won’t realise how precious your own children are to you until you have your own and how different love is to your child in comparison to anything or anyone else. It is so true.
They are my everything and my biggest motivator. 💖

Being a Mum is certainly a full time job and doesn’t come with instructions or a pause button and I would not change this job for the world. The fact that I can also run a health and fitness business as well, with them by my side is truly magical and I am forever grateful 💞

This is something that I always dreamt of - being a mum, working full time and not having to leave my children - no commute, no nursery, no child minder. So not only am I working for myself, I am inspiring other women that they can do this too.

Today I would also like to recognise my own real life superhero, my mother who is my role model and rock who supports me 100% every single day - my best friend and incredible Nonna - I am forever grateful.

One of my missions is to inspire and encourage all women to create healthy habits and install routines where they work on themselves which reflects onto their children and families and their own physical and mental wellbeing. Yes! This is happening and you know what - you can have it too! There is nothing stopping you!🌟

Big up to all you mothers and mother figures today and everyday💜

Today is our day and let’s look after ourselves today of all days - it’s time to take control and look after you🎀

Happy Mother’s Day 💜🌸
You are all fabulous inside out.

TAG the mothers that you want recognising 🌺💞🎀💐
