Managing Performance Expectations & Pressure in HYROX - Lhea Terzaki

This week on the show, we welcome back Adidas athlete and hybrid fitness coach Lhea Terzaki for her first appearance since early 2025.

Lhea candidly opens up about a recent shift in her mental game. Recently she realised that despite landing on the podium at Age Group level in Lisbon, she was simply going through the motions and racing out of expectation rather than enjoyment.

We dive deep into the psychology of self-imposed pressure, the good & bad of social media, and the practical steps she took to reset her mindset for DEKA to put fun back at the centre of her competition.

Whether you're an elite competitor or an age-grouper battling performance anxiety, this episode offers a valuable look into balancing high ambition with a healthy relationship to the sport.
