Hyrox world champion Meier has been battling injuries for six years

Linda Meier shares a striking revelation in an Instagram post: in the six years she has been running, she has consistently been sidelined by injury within seven months. That insight came when she had to write down her injury history ahead of an upcoming running analysis.

According to Meier, the cause is not an excessive training volume. Her maximum weekly mileage never exceeded 40 kilometers. She points to years of nutritional deficiencies caused by coeliac disease as a likely contributing factor.

Together with her coach, she is now working on a broader approach: more strength, better movement efficiency and a gradual introduction of new training stimuli. The goal is a full year of uninterrupted training, something she has never managed to achieve.

Remarkably, she became Hyrox world champion without ever having had a long, uninterrupted training period. She refers to the original post for her full story.
