Lucy’s Remarkable Athletic Feat: Conquering Both London Marathon and Hyrox Championships

Lucy Gornall’s journey is truly inspirational. Starting with a simple goal to build upper body strength, she not only achieved that but went far beyond. Her determination and hard work paid off remarkably in both Hyrox and London marathon.

From the get-go, Lucy’s determination was palpable. As she pushed through each training session, it became evident that her goals were no mere wishes. She was committed, disciplined, and consistently challenging her limits.

Her success in Hyrox, a grueling mix of functional weightlifting, high-intensity interval training, and running, is noteworthy. Winning first place in her category and then competing at the Hyrox World Championship is a testament to her dedication and the effectiveness of her training.

Moreover, her achievements in marathons are equally impressive. Completing her first London marathon in 3:19 and then surpassing that with a 3:15 finish in her second attempt shows her commitment to constantly challenging and bettering herself.

It was also her goal to be able to do a pull-up. We achieved this through a dedicated upper body training program that included assisted pull-ups, barbell rows, dumbbell rows, seated lat pulls, and shoulder presses. Her hard work paid off, and she was able to do 5 pull-ups.

Lucy’s story is a powerful reminder of the incredible feats possible through resilience, determination, and hard work. She exemplifies how setting goals, coupled with the right mindset and guidance, can lead to extraordinary achievements. Her journey serves as an inspiration to anyone looking to push their limits and achieve their dreams.
