As an athlete with asthma preparing for my first HYROX race, this is the exact question I asked myself. In this episode, I break down what HYROX actually is, why it can feel especially intimidating when you have asthma, and the strategies I use to manage my breathing, heart rate, and energy during high-intensity training. We dive into heart rate zones, aerobic vs. anaerobic training, loud audible exhales, transition pacing, and how to stay in control of your breathing during a race that pushes your lungs and body to the limit. I also share lessons from my first HYROX simulation, including the pacing strategy that helped my partner and me finish in under 59 minutes, plus why I believe athletes with asthma absolutely can succeed in HYROX with the right preparation and awareness. Whether you're training for your first HYROX, exploring hybrid fitness racing, or simply trying to improve your endurance with asthma, this episode will help you approach high-intensity training with more confidence and control.
