On 16th March I’ll be taking part in my second Hyrox competition. Hyrox is a race where competitors take part in 8 fitness events each preceded by a 1000m run. Competitors can race solo, as a duo or as part of a four-person relay. I’ll be part of a relay team.

Last year I completed my first Hyrox event. It was a lot of fun but much harder than I expected. I’ve trained harder and am stronger and fitter this time around.

Last year I raised over £1000 for Chest, Heart and Stroke Scotland – I initially didn’t plan on raising money for charity this year as I felt it was unfair to ask people again after they were so generous before. However, a few folk have pointed out there’s no harm in asking. I’d be very grateful for anything you can spare.

Starter Packs are a great Glasgow Charity providing packs of household essentials to care leavers, people who've experienced homelessness and people affected by poverty.
