What HYROX Athletes Can Learn from Charlie Searle’s Rise to Elite 15<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Qualifying for the HYROX World Championships in the Elite 15 doubles division isn\u2019t built on one performance. It\u2019s the outcome of consistent training, refining the details, and learning how to execute under pressure \u2014 repeatedly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For Charlie Searle, that qualification reflects something deeper than a result. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt feels really special,\u201d she says. \u201cIt\u2019s something we\u2019ve worked incredibly hard for, so to get that spot back means a lot. It represents consistency, resilience, and trusting the process, especially through the harder phases where results don\u2019t always reflect the work going in.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

That process \u2014 not the outcome \u2014 is where the real progression has happened. And one of the biggest shifts along the way hasn\u2019t been in the sessions themselves, but in how she supports them: through fuelling. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Build the Engine. Then Learn To Fuel It<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Charlie\u2019s introduction to HYROX wasn\u2019t planned. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI took a ticket last minute and competed in my first HYROX with my current coach,\u201d she explains. \u201cI realised shortly after that I could become good at this sport, and from there I started doing the training and work for it.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Like many athletes, her early focus was purely on training. But as the volume and intensity increased, the gaps started to show. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFuelling has probably been one of the biggest changes for me. I definitely underestimated how much I actually needed, especially around harder sessions.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

That shift tends to happen when performance stalls \u2014 not because of fitness, but because the body simply doesn\u2019t have enough energy to support the work. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs training load increased, I realised that under-fuelling was affecting both performance and recovery. Now I see fuelling as part of training, not separate from it.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In practice, that means going into sessions with intent; not just in how you train, but in how you fuel. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fuel For the Session You’re About to Do<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A typical training week for Charlie includes a mix of running, strength, and HYROX-specific work. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe most physically demanding sessions are usually the threshold sessions; they require a lot of discipline and focus.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

These sessions are also where fuelling becomes most visible. Go in under-fuelled, and the drop-off in quality is immediate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before these sessions, she focuses on simple, carbohydrate-based options that are easy to digest. Something like a bagel with honey and a banana, a couple of hours before, will often form the base. When time is tighter or appetite is low, topping up closer to the session becomes more important. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019d rather get something in than nothing at all,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is where quick, accessible options can make a difference. An isotonic gel<\/a>, for example, can provide a fast source of carbohydrate without needing additional fluid \u2014 useful when there\u2019s a short window between eating and training, or when nerves reduce appetite before a harder session. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The goal isn\u2019t to overcomplicate it. It\u2019s to make sure you\u2019re not starting empty. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don’t Just Fuel Before; Fuel During. <\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

One of the biggest changes in Charlie\u2019s approach has been bringing fuel into the session itself. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI will always bring extra carbs on board during sessions. There\u2019s nothing worse than training and feeling under-fuelled or hungry.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This becomes particularly relevant during longer efforts, compromised sessions, or double training days where overall energy demand is higher. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rather than waiting until energy drops, she now fuels proactively. That might mean sipping on a carbohydrate drink across the session or taking in a gel partway through to maintain output. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using a dual-source carbohydrate option, like a BETA Fuel Gel<\/a> or drink mix,<\/a> can be useful here \u2014 especially when sessions extend beyond an hour or intensity stays high. The combination of carbohydrate sources allows for higher rates of absorption, helping to sustain performance deeper into the session. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s a small adjustment, but one that directly impacts how much quality work you can actually get done. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Race Day: Keep it Familiar<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

By race day, there\u2019s no room for guesswork. Everything is built on what\u2019s already been tested in training. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe day before, the main focus is keeping things simple: plenty of carbs, good hydration, and nothing too heavy or unfamiliar.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because Charlie often races later in the day, she\u2019s able to build her intake gradually, starting with a carbohydrate-focused breakfast, followed by structured meals leading into the race. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Closer to the start, intake becomes more about topping up. A light carbohydrate source a few hours out, followed by something quick and easy to digest in the final 10\u201315 minutes, helps ensure energy availability without feeling heavy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For some athletes, that final top-up might be a gel or a caffeine gel<\/a>, depending on what\u2019s been practised. The key is that it’s something the body is used to handling under intensity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the race itself, especially in doubles, opportunities to fuel are limited. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s about making sure energy stays high without overcomplicating things.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Which makes everything done beforehand even more important. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Training the Gut<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

One of the most overlooked aspects of fuelling is tolerance \u2014 not just what you take in, but what your body can actually handle at intensity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cRace day isn\u2019t the time to test anything new,\u201d Charlie says. \u201cI\u2019ve worked on practising fuelling during harder sessions so my body gets used to taking on carbs under intensity.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is where consistency matters. Using the same types of fuel in training as you would on race day allows the body to adapt. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Starting with smaller amounts and gradually increasing intake across sessions helps build tolerance. For many, easily absorbed formats \u2014 such as isotonic gels or carbohydrate drinks \u2014 are a good starting point, particularly when intensity is high and digestion is challenged. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over time, this becomes another trained skill \u2014 just like pacing or movement efficiency. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recovery: Where Progress Happens<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

What happens after the session often determines how the next one goes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cStraight after a tough session or race, the priority is getting fuel in quickly: carbs, protein, and fluids straight away,\u201d Charlie explains. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In reality, appetite isn\u2019t always there, especially after high-intensity work. That\u2019s where convenience becomes important. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A recovery shake, such as BETA Recovery<\/a>, can help bridge the gap in those moments \u2014 providing carbohydrates and protein in a form that\u2019s easy to consume when a full meal isn\u2019t appealing. From there, the focus shifts to getting back to normal eating as soon as possible. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beyond that immediate window, recovery is about consistency. Regular meals, adequate carbohydrate intake, sufficient protein, and hydration all support the ability to train the next day again. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cRecovery doesn\u2019t need to be complicated,\u201d she says. \u201cBut consistency matters. Sleep is probably the biggest non-negotiable.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Getting it Wrong Before Getting It Right<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Charlie is clear on what held her back earlier in her progression. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe biggest mistake was definitely under-fuelling and thinking lighter meant better performance.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s a mindset that still shows up across many athletes \u2014 but one that rarely supports long-term performance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI didn\u2019t fully understand how much energy training at this level actually requires.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, her approach has shifted completely. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI cannot get through a session without consuming calories.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

That consistency is what allows her to maintain quality across the week. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Small Margins Matter<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

At Elite 15 level, there\u2019s no single breakthrough moment. Progress comes from stacking small improvements. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cConsistency across everything has made the biggest difference. Training hard, recovering well, fuelling properly, and being patient with progress.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

That includes the mental side too. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cLearning not to panic after a bad session or race has been huge.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fuelling plays into that more than many realise. When intake is consistent, energy is stable, and recovery is supported, it removes one of the biggest variables in performance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Doubles Dynamic<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Racing doubles bring a slightly different demand. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe intensity can be even higher in shorter bursts,\u201d Charlie explains, \u201cso pacing becomes really important.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

While fuelling strategies don\u2019t change dramatically, the need to maintain energy and stay sharp remains. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou still need to stay strong right to the end.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Which again reinforces the importance of everything leading into the race \u2014 because once it starts, there\u2019s limited opportunity to adjust. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Looking Ahead<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

With the World Championships approaching, the focus is clear. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cTo perform at the level I know we\u2019re capable of and execute a race we\u2019re proud of.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And beyond that, the approach remains the same; continue refining, continue improving, and continue building on the process that got her there. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s about seeing how far I can take it.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Charlie\u2019s progression to Elite 15 highlights a shift many athletes eventually need to make. Training is only one part of performance. Fuelling, recovery, and consistency sit alongside it \u2014 and often determine how far that training can actually take you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

By moving away from under-fuelling and towards a more structured, consistent approach, she\u2019s been able to train at a higher level, recover more effectively, and perform with greater consistency. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

At this level, that\u2019s not an advantage \u2014 it\u2019s a requirement. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
