Alyssa McElheny: From 2:34 Marathon to Hyrox Elite 15

This week we’re joined by Alyssa McElheney — 2:34 marathon runner turned Elite 15 Hyrox athlete.


With a strong background in distance running, Alyssa made the switch to Hyrox just a few months ago and has already made a serious impact — finishing 3rd in Warsaw in her first Elite 15 race, securing her spot at the World Championships in Stockholm.


Making herself known for being one of the smiliest athletes on the course, Alyssa somehow managed to smile her way around the entire race in Warsaw — a reflection of the mindset she brings to competing.


We dive into her journey from qualifying for the olympic marathons trials to becoming an Elite 15 Hyrox athlete, how her training has evolved, and what it takes to perform at the top.
