My guest today is HYROX World No. 6 Allana Falconer. We delve into a wide range of topics including her journey through HYROX and how she’s built her fitness without ever using a coach.We talked about her obsession with running, accidentally completing an 84km ultra, and the strength-focused training she’s now prioritising in her training. We also cover mindset, body image in the sport, and how she balances training with a full-time job.It was a fascinating and uplifting chat with a proper hybrid athlete who's not only talented but brings a rare positivity and joy to competition. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.Fully Timestamped Chapter List00:00:00 Intro Trailer for Allana Falconer 00:00:53 Bio Rundown 00:02:09 Mindset After Competitions & Love of Running 00:04:05 Ultra Running Debut & Back of the Yard Experience 00:08:40 Athletic Background & Lockdown Training 00:12:41 Transition from Lockdown Running to Ultras & Hyrox Goals 00:17:28 Strength Training Journey & Gym Influence 00:20:23 Mindset & Positivity in Sport 00:22:24 Upbringing & Family Background 00:24:50 Mindset Behind Motivation & Smiling Through Racing 00:26:56 Body Image & Hyrox Physique 00:28:53 Thoughts on Coaching & Recent Sponsorships 00:33:05 Structuring Training Without a Coach 00:37:22 Strongest Stations & Ergs in Training 00:40:09 SkiErg & Rowing Improvements 00:44:56 Differences Between Singles & Doubles Strategy 00:49:15 Racing Doubles with Chris Moulam-Jones 00:51:08 Race Nutrition & Avoiding Red Bull 00:52:55 Hydration Habits & Roxzone Strategy 00:53:47 PBs & Race Times 00:57:04 Risks of Pushing Too Hard in Races 01:00:10 Hyrox Timing System & Growth 01:01:32 Impact of New Rep Counter Visuals 01:01:41 Overrated & Underrated: Food 01:04:25 Overrated & Underrated: Exercises 01:06:10 Overrated & Underrated: Supplements 01:10:16 Overrated & Underrated: Habits 01:11:17 Season Goals & Upcoming Races 01:12:54 Where to Follow Allana 01:13:45 Outro & Subscribe Message***LINKS***Allana’s Instagram:https://bit.ly/3FX7128MY STUFF:Awaken Out Of Context Podcast (YouTube & Podcast Links):https://bit.ly/3tk8FVvFollow Me On Instagram (@awakenoutofjason):https://bit.ly/3RAkKQj#hyrox #athlete
