For Rowana Badry, HYROX is about far more than simply getting through a race.

The Egyptian HYROX athlete and fitness coach speaks about how she found her way into the sport, how she prepares for competition and what it takes to perform when running and functional fitness are pushed together into one continuous test.

HYROX combines running with a series of workout stations, demanding endurance, strength, speed and stamina in equal measure. For Rowana, that challenge has meant learning how to understand her body, manage effort and keep pushing when fatigue starts to set in.

With more races ahead, she is now back in training for her next challenges, including one much closer to home. HYROX will make its Cairo debut on November 14th and 15th, bringing the global fitness racing format to Egypt for the first time.
