Lucy McGonigle & Holly Tynan: Elite CrossFitters take on Hyrox!

Today’s episode is a CrossFit × HYROX crossover with Lucy McGonigle & Holly Tynan — two elite CrossFit athletes who stepped onto the Hyrox race floor in Dublin to test themselves in a very different arena.


Holly, a multiple-time CrossFit semi-finalist, and Lucy, who made her CrossFit Games debut this season, chat through why they decided to give HYROX a go, how they approached the running-heavy format, and what surprised them most on race day.


The conversation also dives into how CrossFit and HYROX overlap, and where they differ — particularly when it comes to running, machine work and endurance. Holly shares why she’ll always swap running for the Echo bike when athletes are injured, explaining how it best replicates the threshold feeling of a hard run compared to the rower or SkiErg.


Whether you’re a CrossFitter curious about Hyrox,, a runner looking to build strength, or an athlete managing injury while keeping fitness high, this episode is packed with practical insight — and plenty of laughs along the way.
