Jessica Brady: Sub 60 Hyrox Pro Doubles, Sports Psychology & Chasing Big Goals.

This week we're joined by Jessica Brady, HYROX athlete, coach and sport and exercise psychologist, joining us from Dubai!

Jess has had quite the journey since discovering HYROX in 2024. From her first race in Women's Doubles, finishing in 1:15, to now having 23 races under her belt and breaking the sub-60 barrier in Pro Women's Doubles, her progression in the sport has been pretty incredible.

We chat about how she went from CrossFit and sprinting to falling in love with HYROX, her journey from Barry's instructor in the UK to coaching in Dubai, and the decision to take a leap of faith and move abroad.With a background in sport and exercise psychology, we also get into the mental side of performance, from positive self-talk and managing negative thoughts during a race to building confidence and getting the most out of yourself when things get tough.

Plus, we hear all about racing around the world, taking on a 100km desert relay, her experience at the Red Bull coaches' camp in Brazil and why the HYROX community is such a big part of what keeps her coming back for more.

What we cover:

- Jess's sporting background, from sprinting and CrossFit to HYROX

- Her journey from 1:15 in her first race to sub-60 in Pro Women's Doubles
