The Truth About HYROX, Female Health and Fuelling the Zone 5 Life

HYROX looks incredible on social media. Matching kits, finish line smiles, electric atmospheres. And it is incredible — but it's also one of the most physically demanding sports you can put your body through. And nobody is talking about that loudly enough.In this episode I'm getting into the truth about what HYROX actually demands from a female body — the physiology, the glycogen cost, the recovery requirement — and why the research specific to women in this sport barely exists yet.I cover how to fuel every type of training day differently, why the deload is the most underused tool in any HYROX block, and why the hunger you've been fighting isn't a willpower problem.Plus I share Nav's story — she came to me four weeks out from her race, under-fuelled, performance declining and feeling completely out of control. She wanted sub-1:20. She ran 1:18.If you've chosen the zone 5 life, this episode is for you.📩 DM STRONG to @poppy.nfc to work with me inside NutriFit Coaching.
