Women & Sports: Alexandra André, Iron(wo)men
by Jen Thorman
The only thing I have learnt to ‘give up’ is being too attached to a time or a place. I bring 3 goals to races and encourage others to consider these too: 1) get to the start line 2) get to the finishing line 3) enjoy the journey (on race day and in training). There’s a quote I saw running the London Marathon: ‘Greatness has no time limit’. How true that is.
Women & Sports: Dr. Alex Hynes, Muay Thai Boxer to Kokoda Challenge
by Jen Thorman
I started boxing 6 or 7 years ago. I started with boxing initially, then transitioning to sparring. With sparring, you are all geared up and going at each other but it’s not a competition – not scoring points. You’re doing the motions of attack and defense but you’re using light blows. About five years ago, I wanted to keep going with Muay Thai but my body wouldn’t recover as quickly as I’d like – I was covered in bruises! I had fallen in love with the Muay Thai way of fitness but not so much with the high contact element of it. So now I work out five days a week.
