EC interviews Lauren Weeks, a competitive CrossFitter turned Hyrox athlete in 2019. She’s been one of the most dominant Hyrox athletes since, winning the World Championships 2020, 2021 and 2023. Weeks is competing in another World Championships in Stockholm the weekend of Jun 18 in both the individual and doubles women categories. For some context for the conversation, Hyrox is a race of eight-1k running intervals that alternative with 8 stations like rowing, lunges, and wallballs, Very competitive times are under 60 minutes, and Weeks just hit a lifetime PR at the last major event under 55 minutes. The competitive season consists of 4 “major” events before the Wolrd Championship, and the last major is where Weeks hit her new PR on her way to a second place finish in a very tight race. You can check out her programming for hybrid athletes at thehybridengine.com.
