Kate Hutchinson: Balancing Elite 15 Racing and a 3:09 Marathon

About this episode

Kate Hutchinson discusses her journey as an elite athlete balancing marathon training and Hyrox racing while sharing personal challenges and triumphs.

This week we’re joined by Elite 15 athlete Kate Hutchinson. From representing England at the Commonwealth Games in swimming, to age-group triathlon world championships, to now racing on the HYROX Elite 15 doubles circuit alongside Fern Gardner — Kate’s sporting journey is seriously impressive. We chat about balancing marathon training with Hyrox racing, running a huge 3:09 PB at the London Marathon, the reality of juggling elite sport with everyday life, and how the gym and it’s community became an important outlet during a difficult chapter after losing her dad to MND. Kate also shares stories from the Elite 15 majors this season, qualifying for Worlds, racing through the chaos of Hamburg (did someone say penalties), and why she and Fern have never taken any of these opportunities for granted. A really honest and inspiring conversation with one of the most down-to-earth athletes 🤍 Follow Kate over on instagram : @katehutchinson.hy If you enjoyed this episode please consider following the show and leaving a review, it helps us reach more people and speak to more incredible guests!
