Zara Piergianni - Finding her why and THE penalty box moment in Hyrox Hamburg!

This week we’re joined by Zara Piergianni, who’s fresh off the back of an incredible performance at the Hyrox Hamburg Major, where she and Gabriella Moriarty secured third place and punched their ticket to the World Championships.

We chat through that tense race — including the penalty box moment — and how she’s been navigating change this season, from a new coach and new training approach to rediscovering her purpose and passion for competing.

Zara opens up about learning to trust the process, staying composed under pressure, and finding joy in the hard work. Whether you’re an elite athlete or just starting out, this one’s packed with insight, honesty, and motivation.
