Hyrox is an indoor fitness competition that combines eight kilometres of running and eight functional workout stations, alternating between running and functional exercises.
Aoife and Lisa will now turn their attention to making the Irish team for World Boxing’s inaugural Elite World Championships in Liverpool between September 4th and 14th, having won silver medals at the IBA World Championship in Serbia last March.
