In this week's episode I’m excited to bring you my conversation with Sinéad Bent (@sineadbentx).

Sinéad has burst onto the HYROX scene in the past year or so, and recently, in London, broke the Women’s Open world in an incredible time of 58.47, as well as an age group world record in the womens doubles.
