Elli Stenfors’ Path to HYROX Elite 15 Without a Running Background
from Rox Lyfe - The HYROX Podcast · host Greg Williams
In this episode of the Rox Lyfe podcast I’m joined by Elli Stenfors - HYROX Elite 15 athlete, physiotherapist, and coach.Despite coming from a competitive swimming and CrossFit background - and with no traditional running history - Elli has risen rapidly through the sport. She’s already clocked a 61-minute PB in the Pro division and finished 7th in her Elite 15 debut in Melbourne.In this conversation, we cover:• How Elli transitioned from swimming and CrossFit into HYROX at an elite level• Why she prefers to train and race by feel rather than relying on watches or data• How she builds running fitness with relatively modest run volume• Balancing strength work, endurance, and staying injury-free• Her mindset under pressure - including wall balls late in the raceIt was a really open, honest, and thoughtful chat with loads of practical insight into what it takes to perform at the sharp end of HYROX, and I think you’ll really enjoy it.🔗 Subscribe for more episodes💥 Supporters of this Episode🏅 MyProtein – Affordable, high-quality supplements to support your HYROX training.
