ah yes, we love covering up Hollys incapability to do more than 2 things at once with ‘essentialism’. Yeah sure if everyone working on their office jobs for 100+ hours a week labelled their life as ‘essentialism’ everyone would laugh in their face, but put the same label onto fitness/going to the gym full time and all of a sudden it’s positive?
I do not in any means view what Holly is doing in a positive nor realistic light. I do not think it is mentally healthy to put all your eggs into one basket, and reduce your world so much to the point where the only people you see are your partner, family (only because they are in circumstances which has forced them to stay with family), and random faces at the gym. By reducing her world to such a small, insular scale, Holly will probably do quite well at this Hyrox thing. But at what cost? Her social skills are down the drain, no wider friendship circles who she’s regularly in touch with, no career prospects (other than Hyrox, but her body won’t be in its 20s forever), just seems like such a sad small world to be a part of.
I was just about to say the same thing.'essentialism' babe its called an eating disorder and OCD
She's retired as an athlete now, but a girl I went to school with was doing her teaching training at university and working on her family farm while she was competing. She ended up retiring after she was in the winter Olympics and is now a teacher. Another girl I went to school with was quite high up in squash and ironmans. She retired from that and she's doing a PhD and she works in nutrition for athletes, and does nutrition workshops in schools and for sports teams whist doing the odd marathon.Almost every professional athlete in the Olympics for example has another job don't they? I actually cannot work put what she's doing or planning to do long term it's just bizarre
How could she coach without any formal training though?She's retired as an athlete now, but a girl I went to school with was doing her teaching training at university and working on her family farm while she was competing.

The thing is with Holly is I do wonder what she is going to try and do after she's reached a certain point in hydrox. I saw she's been sponsored by an energy gel company so I'm assuming she's going to be promoting products as an 'athlete.' I could see her going into coaching of some sort and I do fear that it would be nutrition coaching as well , especially as there would be people seaking out vegan athlete coaching, but she would be the person who is least suitable for that.
I kind of figured out that she would get a qualification or she would be very much banking on her followers and her experience to make her 'qualified,' to coach like many influencers do.How could she coach without any formal training though?
Im pretty sure she wants to coach after she's done competing.Almost every professional athlete in the Olympics for example has another job don't they? I actually cannot work put what she's doing or planning to do long term it's just bizarre
Yeh im confused is it a gift/freedie or are they paying them a monthly salary.I thought when they claimed to have sponsorship that it was a legitimate brand. But instead they have what is probably a freebie deal with a random gel/nutrition company. I would need somebody to explain to me how this could possibly keep two adults afloat, but that is assuming a lot of other factors are normal when obviously they aren't...
Edit: Angelo also received a free backpack. The grifting was clearly worth it.
I don't know how good she was ay tutoring but she doesn't strike me as the kind of person who'd be good at training other people, she wouldn't empathise with anyone wanting to do somwthing/push themselves too far/deducate so much time to training etcI kind of figured out that she would get a qualification or she would be very much banking on her followers and her experience to make her 'qualified,' to coach like many influencers do.
It's be the coaching equivalent of Hollygemia. She doesn't want to interact with people in real life.I don't know how good she was ay tutoring but she doesn't strike me as the kind of person who'd be good at training other people, she wouldn't empathise with anyone wanting to do somwthing/push themselves too far/deducate so much time to training etc
Idk I think she does but Holly is very controlling which makes it hard to interact with real 3d people.It's be the coaching equivalent of Hollygemia. She doesn't want to interact with people in real life.
I always thought J. K. Rowling had said she was on benefits and didn’t work at the time she wrote Harry Potter?JK Rowling wrote Harry Potter while a single mum, doing I think books 2-3 while also holding a normal job. By the time she could live off the books alone, she was also working on the movie adaptations and founding the Lumos charity.
Sports do require a huge amount of focus, but many sports people still have other activities - or their job as a sports star means other related work.
There are very few people who only do one thing, and very few people who seek the isolation that Holly has curated for herself.
She said here she was living in Portugal?She spent 5 years writing it before she took it to the publishers. My understanding is that she got the idea on a train in the UK, began writing it seriously when teaching in Spain and married to that abusive man. She then returned to the UK where she was unemployed single mum on benefits. Then around book 2 she got a normal job but was able to quit it around book 3 and 4.
I must have mixed them up.She said here she was living in Portugal?

Her best time is less than 1:06
I'm not against Hyrox per se, more intrigued because it's sort of appeared suddenly. There is however a local man I know who has also made Hyrox his entire personality and keeps his facebook friends updated on how may sets he's practicing on the gym and it does make him come across a bit of a narc. Like he went to the new local gym at 5pm on a weekday and was moaning how it meant the ski erg wasn't free because it was being used by a circuit training classI watched the end of the men’s Elite 15 Hyrox race on You Tube. I thought it was exciting and looked like a great atmosphere. Albeit a crazy endeavour that seems really bad for potentially getting injured!
Also watched a documentary about how Hyrox got its start and how it has grown. The sport has really taken off this year. Interestingly the founder doesn’t want to work with influencers who aren't actually competitive gym people. (I am talking to you James Charles lmao)
So, are people here against Hyrox per se? Or more against Holly’s training and competing to the nth degree and her lofty goals, and Angelo making statements like he and Holly are progressing faster in their Hyrox training than any other Hyrox athletes in the world?
