Saskia Millard performs at the highest level on fewer than 20 km of running per week

Saskia Millard is a name that is coming up more and more in the Hyrox world. The British athlete holds her own against the very best, and she does it in a surprising way.

While many endurance athletes swear by high training volumes, Millard runs fewer than 20 kilometres per week. That makes her approach striking and interesting for anyone thinking about their own training structure.

It shows that smart training is sometimes more effective than high-volume training. Quality over quantity appears to be the key principle for Millard.

It demonstrates that with a well-thought-out programme and targeted strength training, you can be competitive without racking up enormous running mileage.
