I break down every run and station from my second-place HYROX Istanbul Pro race and compare my splits with sub-one-hour Elite 15 athlete Lucy Procter to discover how close I really am to the Elite 15.

There's also just the raw facts of genetics and some of the people who are the freak elite 15 athletes have the athletic physiology that no matter how much you train you won't be able to be at their level. Vo2 max is an example , everyone can train to their personal potential but not everyone has the same potential for Vo2 max no matter if you do the same training or want it just as bad. My Wife was an Olympic Rower with a vo2 max in the mid 70s but not everyone is capable of that performance even if they train hours a day like a full-time athlete. Super impressive what you guys are doing and best of luck with it

I'm sorry, did you use AI or something on the thumbnail? Holly looks... different somehow

Do the Ido Portal Hang Protocol. It improved my grip a lot and it doesn’t tax your CNS and it’s easy to recover from! Good luck!👍

Keep it up, I know you’ll both make it. I know I’m not, but I almost feel like I’m on the journey with you.

That’s a huge glass of beet juice. Get the little shots. Beet-it sport nitrate 400. It’s like 2 ounces with as much nitrates as your 20 ounce glass. It’s super concentrated and you just take a small drink 2 hours bedore start time

Way to go Holly! When is your next race? And maybe practice with a wet wall ball before 🤾‍♀

Holly, correct and stay with the new rules etc. u need to win maybe three races and also get in the majors E15 you can taste it. Do the math which I am sure you guys are on. This was perfect.

Nice, keep it up Holly!

Great video again 🙌🏽 in the video you showed beet root juice in a carton, worth noting that beetroot shots are 70ml. In order to get the same benefits from carton juice you have to drink like a full pint (maybe more) which is tough to tolerate. Also maybe put your gloves on at wall balls? Just ideas 🤷‍♀️

Okay so next time, try only put them down 4 times!😊

Never tryed farmer’s carry since i'm into calisthenics and not hyrox. But apparently my grip strength is in the elite category because of all the bar work for years. I mean for 28 pull-ups in a row you're forced to have great grip. Maybe pull-ups is not your thing. But dead hangs for like 2 minutes? Easy to train grip like that?
