7 MINUTES FASTER. OVER 50. AND JUST GETTING STARTED. 🔥
Meet Bethany. Mom of two, wife, full-time acupuncturist, and HYROX athlete.
A few weekends ago, she took on HYROX Boston and crossed that finish line in 1:21:42, PR’ing by SEVEN MINUTES. 🏁
And if you know Bethany, you know this didn’t happen by accident.
She follows my coaching plan, shows up consistently, prioritizes proper form, follows through with her nutrition, and puts real intention behind getting better. She has a full life outside the gym, but she continues to put in the work to reach her goals.
After racing New York in 90-degree heat, she came into Boston with a different mindset. More confident in her training, stronger in the movements she’d been working on, and ready to push herself.
When Bethany told me her goal was 1:25, I honestly knew she had more in her. I knew she was capable of going beyond that goal, and SHE DID. 1:21:42. 🔥
That’s what happens when you put in the work, trust your training, and learn to push past what you thought you could do.
When I asked Bethany what advice she’d give another athlete, she said:
“Listen to your body and find your limits. Take the time to learn what your 10 out of 10 is.”
I LOVE THIS because that’s exactly what we’re working toward. Learning your body, understanding your effort, and figuring out what you’re truly capable of.
Bethany, I am SO proud of you. You show up, you do the work, and you trust the process. It’s an absolute honor to coach you, and I can’t wait to see what you do next.
❤️ Coach Shanae
