When it comes to dominance in the sport, Lauren Weeks might just have the most significant wins and the best winning average. But the real question is—are we ready to officially crown her the GOAT of HYROX?
This conversation felt more like a fireside chat between two passionate individuals navigating the ups and downs of life, sports, and parenting.
We quickly learn that, above all, Lauren is a mom first, athlete second. As we dive deeper, we discover her roots in New York, why she’s dedicated to helping others break into the sport, and her inspiring mission to motivate women from all walks of life to reach their full potential.
With HYROX at the heart of this discussion, we also get a sneak peek into what to expect from Lauren as the Glasgow event approaches. Her unique ability to put her values first means she races without the pressure of expectations.
We even asked the community whether you'd prefer the raw, unedited version of this conversation (where we get to know each other first) or a more refined take—and the raw version won by a landslide!
Hope you enjoy this real, unfiltered conversation.
