Will this be my last dance? | Story of Megan Jacoby | Season II Ep.1

Hey, it’s Meg again!????

It’s been nine months since the final episode of my HYROX Season 24/25. After my back injury, the comeback & everything that came with it - I now want to share what happened next.
This is the first episode of Season II of my vlog and documentary series. Welcome to a front row seat to the highs, the lows & what comes after a “happy ending”.
After my comeback, I felt unstoppable. I was back at full capacity and started to see the good in everything that went wrong. I grew a lot through that time. With that everything was followed by personal records in races and in a half marathon. Also I qualified for the E15 again.

But now, things have changed again and honestly… it feels like my body is working against me. This season is about focus shifts, the setback after a setback & the one big question every athletes has to face at some point: The question of longevity…and even retirement.

I want to take you with me through this chapter of my life and show you my current reality. Watching other athletes go through injuries helped me a lot during my own journey - so with this, I want to do the same for you.
This is not just about winning. It’s about everything that happens in between.

More episodes coming soon.
Subscribe if you want to follow the journey. I’d love to hear your thoughts in the comments.

Meg ????
