    48.⁠ ⁠Holly Archer on Why Hyrox Needs FIXING & Future of Content Creator ATHLETES

    Holly Archer — European Silver Medalist and one of the most exciting voices in endurance sport — joins the podcast for an honest conversation about what it really takes to compete at the highest level. Holly opens up about her unlikely origin story: getting a double detention at age 12 for "cheating" in a school cross country race — an accusation lighting a fire that never went out. From a scholarship at an American university to training at altitude with Under Armour, missing Tokyo 2021 by 0.04 of a second, burning out as a pro, and rebuilding from scratch — Holly holds nothing back. She also gets into why Hyrox has a consistency problem, the controversial gel wrapper penalty that cost her a World Championship spot, why she ran a 2:33 marathon with zero long runs in the build-up, and why she believes brands and content creators need to take more responsibility for the running advice they're putting out.
