People in Glazing Charity Fundraiser: Harry Whittaker

Roseview Windows’ Commercial Sales Executive, Harry Whittaker will be taking part in a ‘Hyrox’ event in London on 5 May this year to raise money for Macmillan Cancer Support.

For those not aware what Hyrox is, it is a gruelling competitive fitness race which consists of a 1km run, followed by a functional exercise, repeated eight times!

We spoke to Harry to find out more about the event and how he is preparing for it:

Name: Harry Whittaker

Company and Job Title: Roseview Windows, Commercial Sales Executive

What you are doing: Hyrox London 2024

The charity you are sponsoring: Macmillan Cancer Support

When you are doing it: 5 May 2024

What training are you doing: Hyrox requires endurance, stamina, and strength to compete. As such, a hybrid training approach is necessary, I’ve been putting together various routines that juggle each element – with an unfortunate focus on running at the moment. My gym has also helped by arranging simulation races each weekend mirroring the event.

What are you looking forward to: Aside from crossing the finish line, I look forward to challenging myself further. I think there’s a couple marathons, and a handful of mountains on my to do list now! The main point however is being able to give back to Macmillan for all the hard work they do.
