• Clare Rafferty & Emma Kirk-Odunubi - Hyrox Power Couple!!

  What an episode!! We were buzzing that our diaries aligned and we could record this epic episode with power couple Clare & Emma!Clare gives us an insight into life as a Hyrox Race Director, Master Trainer, Coach, Athlete and more... it's fair to say she's juggling a lot of plates but is so passionate about this sport and it really shows. It was lovely to learn more about her background, her own training experiences and what the future holds. Emma is the running queen, she is a specific running coach, mainly marathon distance and has done a fair few herself!! As well as running marathons Emma has also completed 24hrs of burpees... yes you heard that right! We talk all about this and about mindset.... if you take anything away from this episode it should be Emmas positive self talk, you will for sure by hyped and ready to hit your next hard session or PB your race after listening to this one - thank you Emma, we all need you on our shoulder when the doubts set in!! Clare and Emma combined have a wealth of knowledge and experience in different areas, they compliment each other and lean on each other - they really are the dream team and it was a joy to spend an hour chatting to them. We could've talked for hours but our diaries only managed to align for an hour, we therefore didn't get round to asking the cheeky insight questions but Clare kindly sent us through some answers as we thought you would still all love to know!! Thanks guys!! See below :) To get lots of Hyrox & Running tips give the girls a follow @clare-rafferty_ & @emmakirkyoIf you enjoyed this episode then give the show a follow and leave us a cheeky review :) You can also follow us on instagram @rad_chix_ to get updates on our next guests and all things Hyrox!Cheeky Insights from Clare Rafferty :1. What shoes do you wear to race Hyrox? Puma Nitro or Adidas Adizero2. Which is your favourite Hyrox venue? I'm obsessed with Glasgow. But I do have Grand Palais soon and I feel that will be the one! Also Navy Pier is gonna be insane!3. What is your favourite Hyrox station? Honestly - the run (haha) I wouldn' t choose any of them! But if I had to pick then maybe the sled push. I like the feeling of 'I can't feel my legs'. I can tell you I hate the ski and the lunges - I have to work so hard for them!4. If you could do a doubles with anyone in the world who would you choose? Emma (GF Points)5. Do you fuel for Hyrox and if so what do you use and when do you take it? Day before the race - any race - we have pasta, it's a bit of a ritual. Then race day, depending on time, keep it simple and have carbs only. If it's later in the day I'll have protein in the AM or even at lunch. As a rule of thumb, 2hrs before CARBS, then in the warm up a gel. Then more for mental than anything some sugar sweets in doubles or if I'm really gunning for it a gel again after the burpees in solo. It's more mental for me tbh than nutritional gains.6. What is your favourite type of training session for Hyrox? I like a long slog. Anything that gets your HR up and you just keep moving then I'm in! It's the short sharp all out ones I struggle with! Thank you!!
