    Lessons on the Road to HYROX Elite – Sophia Parvizi-Wayne

    This week, we welcome Sophia Parvizi-Wayne following her recent Elite 15 races in Melbourne. Sophia shares her journey into HYROX and competitive sport, including how challenges in her childhood, such as overcoming an eating disorder, shaped her approach to training, resilience, and goal setting. We explore her progression in HYROX, the importance of setting both achievable and aspirational goals, and the lessons she learned from her Elite 15 races that will guide her into 2026. Beyond sport, Sophia discusses her experience as the founder of tech companies and why balancing entrepreneurship with elite-level training is a central part of her life. This conversation offers insight into how life experience, determination, and adaptability all contribute to success both on and off the track.
