#59 - HYROX Birmingham AG Winner & World No. 6 Allana Falconer on Going Coachless, Getting Stronger & Surviving 13-Hour Ultras

My guest today is HYROX World No. 6 Allana Falconer. We delve into a wide range of topics including her journey through HYROX and how she’s built her fitness without ever using a coach.

We talked about her obsession with running, accidentally completing an 84km ultra, and the strength-focused training she’s now prioritising in her training. We also cover mindset, body image in the sport, and how she balances training with a full-time job.

It was a fascinating and uplifting chat with a proper hybrid athlete who's not only talented but brings a rare positivity and joy to competition. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
