    In this episode, we’re joined by physiotherapist, trail runner and running-rehab specialist Sophie Vecchione for an in-depth conversation on RED-S, stress fractures, hormones and long-term athlete health.

    Lucy McGonigle & Holly Tynan: Elite CrossFitters take on Hyrox!

    Today’s episode is a CrossFit × HYROX crossover with Lucy McGonigle & Holly Tynan — two elite CrossFit athletes who stepped onto the Hyrox race floor in Dublin to test themselves in a very different arena. Holly, a multiple-time CrossFit semi-finalist, and Lucy, who made her CrossFit Games debut this season, chat through why they decided to give HYROX a go, how they approached the running-heavy format, and what surprised them most on race day.  The conversation also dives into how CrossFit and HYROX overlap, and where they differ — particularly when it comes to running, machine work and endurance. Holly shares why she’ll always swap running for the Echo bike when athletes are injured, explaining how it best replicates the threshold feeling of a hard run compared to the rower or SkiErg.  Whether you’re a CrossFitter curious about Hyrox,, a runner looking to build strength, or an athlete managing injury while keeping fitness high, this episode is packed with practical insight — and plenty of laughs along the way.

    Eilidh Boyd: 1:16 to a 1:05 Hyrox Pro Solo! Proof that consistency is key.

    In this episode, we sit down with Eilidh, a coach at Elation in Glasgow, Graham Hallidays gym and an incredible Scottish Hyrox athlete making a name for herself in the space. She shares how she went from trying the movements for the first time (with hilarious old videos to prove it!) to becoming fully hooked on the sport. Eilidh opens up about starting out as the last person in her first Hyrox class, the power of community, and how consistent coaching completely changed her game. We dive into her running background, how pressure affected her performances last season, and the mindset shift that helped her drop from 1:16 to 1:05 Pro Solo — plus how she got her run speed back to a sub-19 5K. She gets real about confidence, fuelling, navigating plateaus, and why fun (and a weighted vest) might just be the secret weapon for elite performance. A full, honest, relatable conversation for anyone chasing PBs, trying to fall back in love with training, or stuck in the messy middle of progression.

    Laura Belgrave: The Story Behind LB Visuals

    In this week’s episode, we sit down with the insanely talented Laura Belgrave — the creative force behind LB Visuals and one of the standout visual storytellers in the Hyrox space.  Lauras ability to capture emotion, intensity and real human grit is unmatched — but her journey to becoming a videographer wasn’t linear. In fact, it started with being made redundant twice, losing her confidence, questioning her path, and finally taking the leap into full-time creative work… with no rulebook, no guaranteed income, and no clear plan other than backing herself. We talk about:🎥 How she found her place in a space still dominated by men📸 The pressure, adrenaline and chaos of shooting race days and fitness events🏃‍♀️ Her process for following athletes, capturing storylines, and staying everywhere at once🔥 Building LB Visuals from scratch and navigating self-belief along the way❤️ Her own fitness journey & love for Hyrox  Follow Laura over on instagram :  Business - @lb.visualss Personal - @lb.fitt If you enjoyed this episode please consider following the show and leaving a review, it helps us reach more people and speak to more incredible guests!  Find us @weareatalanta and remember to tag us when you listen!

    Bryony Keys: Rebuilding after injury, taking on an Ironman & winning the BPN Ultra

    This week we’re joined by the incredible Bryony Keys — an athlete whose story is equal parts heartbreaking, inspiring and unbelievably powerful. Bryony opens up about the tragic accident that left 75% of her foot shattered, the months of uncertainty that followed, and the mental battle of coming back from an injury that threatened to take running away from her completely. She talks honestly about the darkest parts of that journey: stepping away from social media, losing her identity as an athlete, the frustration, the loneliness, and the slow, stubborn rebuild back to strength. But Bryony’s story isn’t defined by the injury — it’s defined by what she did next.- Her first Ironman.- Winning the BPN Survive the Night 50-mile ultra.- Earning the golden chip for the BPN Last Man Standing.- And rediscovering her purpose along the way. This is a conversation about resilience, rebuilding, belief and doing hard things — even when the world tells you that you shouldn’t be able to. Bryony is proof that you can rewrite your story, even when the ending looks nothing like what you expected.
