Laura Fountain - Women's Running Writer & Marathon Runner tries Hyrox!

Laura Fountain talks to us about how running changed her life. Her journey started with 1.14km on a treadmill, she then went on to become a running coach, run marathons, ultramarathons and is now trying Hyrox! This is an incredibly inspiring episode!


As a Reviews Editor for Women's Running UK, Laura had heard all about Hyrox and even written a few pieces on it so she felt it was only fair to give it a go! We talk about how she found the race and how it compared to multiple running events she has taken part in.

Laura also spoke about how Hyrox was a great opportunity to add some more strength training into her routine, especially knowing the benefits for female athletes and how it can supplement running and injury prevention.


We chat about doing it for you, giving things a go and ideas to help you get some more miles in - and save on washing!!


Follow Laura on instagram to see if she takes on another Hyrox or crazy challenge! @lazygirlrunning

Give @womensrunninguk a follow and a read to get lots of tips on what to wear for race day!


As always, give the show a follow to help us chat to more amazing guests and keep bringing you lots of top tips from people across the community. Share this episode and spread the love by tagging us when you listen - @rad_chix_
