#58 - HYROX Elite 15 Athlete Zara Piergianni's Journey + Tips on Improving Your HYROX time

My guest today is HYROX Elite 15 athlete Zara Piergianni. We delve into a range of topics including her sporting background and her journey to the elite level of HYROX. We talked about how to assess various station weaknesses and covered lots on training and race tactics and strategies.

We also have a section on audience questions – those of you who were kind enough to send in questions for Zara, thank you!

It was an inspiring and insightful chat with an incredible athlete who's absolutely smashing it on the HYROX scene. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.


Note this conversation was recorded in January 2025.
