From Triathlon, to CrossFit, to HYROX Elite (Jess Towl Interview)

In this episode of the Rox Lyfe podcast I'm chatting with Jess Towl. Jess had only raced in 2 HYROX races when she qualified for the Elite race Major in Washington DC. That seemingly incredible achievement becomes a little more understandable when you hear about her sporting background - from competing for Great Britain in the triathlon, to then moving to CrossFit where she set a world record, and now she has found HYROX. But even though she has an impressive sporting background, it feels like there could be even more to come from her, especially when you hear how low her running volume has been in the build up to the races she's done. We also discuss her transition from triathlon to the more strength based training for Crossfit, we talk about her training, what surprised her in HYROX, how she fared in the Washington race, her mindset, and lots more. Jess is a fantastically impressive athlete, it was great to chat with her, and I think you’ll really enjoy it.
