"All my holidays revolve around Hyrox or I incorporate events into holidays," she tells the BBC World Service."
"For competitions abroad, I normally spend approximately 400 per trip for two nights' stay and travel and 120 for a ticket," she adds."
"Hyrox has created this addiction for people who do it because they never really do one race. When they do their first race they then sign up for another one and because the course is the same it creates this level of competition with yourself," she adds."
Hyrox is a global fitness competition combining running and fitness exercises, with about 1.3m people expected to compete worldwide this year. The format is especially popular with young millennials and Generation Z, who often prioritize fashionable, coordinated fitness apparel and social-media-friendly looks. Frequent competitors travel widely and enter many events, with some athletes doing dozens of races across multiple countries. Typical overseas weekend costs for competitors are estimated between 500 to 1,000, with race tickets around 120, making participation more expensive than a marathon and prompting some criticism about affordability.
