We also talk about drug testing, training technique for the HYROX stations, mindset and lots more. John is an incredibly knowledgeable coach, with a huge amount of experience in top level sport.

In this episode of the Rox Lyfe podcast I chat with HYROX Co-Founder Mo Fuerste all about changes to the qualifying process for the Elite races in the 2024/25 HYROX season. We look at the Elite 15 Major races, including where they will be held and how to qualify for them, the Last Chance Qualifier (which gives everyone an opportunity to make their way into the Elite race at the World Championships, even if they haven’t raced in a Major), and what the changes in the process are versus the previous season. We also talk about the prize money that’s up for grabs, the live streaming and the expansion of the HYROX drug testing policy. If you are, in any way, either as a fan, or as an athlete, interested in the Elite side of HYROX, then this episode is a must listen so you can get the full lowdown on the whole process. 🏅 This episode is supported by MyProtein who sell a huge range of supplements, many of which are perfect for helping to support your training and racing in HYROX.

He is a fantastic athlete who, amongst many other achievements – plenty of which we get to in this episode – has run a 51minute HYROX mens doubles (which he did along with Rich Ryan who has been on this podcast a couple of times). He’s also a very knowledgeable coach – especially on the running side - and in this episode we got a lot into the dos and do not's when running training for HYROX.

In this week's episode of the Rox Lyfe podcast I'm chatting with Gareth Timmins (@garethtimminsauthor). Gareth is a HYROX athlete and an ex Royal Marine commando. He's been on the show previously when he spoke to us about his experiences in HYROX and his first book - “Becoming the 0.1%” - which was the diary account of the brutal training regime for Royal Marine selection. It was a hugely popular episode and I’m very excited to have him back on to talk about his new book – “The 0.1% academy” - which looks at how you can master the 7 mindsets to maintain peak performance. It shows you how you can perform better, for longer, while upholding your mental wellbeing. It is always a pleasure, and hugely inspiring, to chat with Gareth, and I think this episode, and the book, can be so beneficial for anyone interested in peak performance, mindset, mental health and lots more. 🏅 This episode is supported by MyProtein who sell a huge range of supplements, many of which are perfect for helping to suppor

In this week’s episode of the Rox Lyfe podcast I get to speak with Hunter McIntyre (@huntthesheriff). Hunter the current HYROX World Record holder in the Pro division with a time of 53:22. He won the HYROX world championship in 2022 and 2023, and had been favourite for the 2024 race in Nice, but ultimately finished 5th in a performance well below his expectations. In this, his first and only podcast interview since then, we talk about the race in Nice, why he thinks he didn’t perform as well as he hoped, what his training had looked like in the lead up and how it will look going forwards, his future plans in the sport (including his plans in the Doubles division), his training volume and numbers, and lots more. It’s an open, honest conversation with a legend of the sport and I think you’ll really enjoy it. 🏅 This episode is supported by MyProtein who sell a huge range of supplements, many of which are perfect for helping to support your training and racing in HYROX.

In this episode of the Rox Lyfe podcast, I get to chat with Meg Martin (@megsutherland) Meg recently became the HYROX Mixed Doubles world champion in her age group – along with her husband Will Martin – when they finished in a time of 54:58 in Nice. At the time that was only her second ever HYROX race. The day before we recorded this Meg also finished 2nd overall in the open in Melbourne. But not only is she an impressive athlete but at the age of 26 has already done so much. She’s set up run clubs, an apparel brand, coaching, shes done a Mega Goggins challenge, a 100 mile run, and lots more. We talk about all those things, her training, what shes been doing to improve her running so much since her first HYROX and lots more. It was a great chat with a fantastic person who is energising, inspiring and a savage of an athlete, who has her eyes set on the Elite 15, and I think you’ll really enjoy it.

He was also the winner of the men’s pro in New York, he is a HYROX master trainer, and he completed an incredible 11 HYROX races in one weekend in London.

In this week’s episode of the Rox Lyfe podcast we get to speak with Michael Sandbach (@sandy6000 on Instagram). Sandy – as he’s commonly known – recently finished 2nd in the Elite race at the 2024 HYROX World Championships in Nice. He was a major part in helping to make it probably the best race we’ve seen in HYROX in a seriously impressive performance. To top off his weekend in Nice, Sandy also captained England to the win in the first ever HYROX Mixed Relay World Championship. And it’s also worth noting that Sandy is the Mens Pro Doubles WR holder along with Hunter McIntyre. In this chat we talk about the races in Nice, his tactics, his mindset, what motivates him. what hes done in his training in recent times – especially on the running side - that’s helped him so much and lots more.

In this week’s episode of the Rox Lyfe podcast, I get to speak with the new 2024 HYROX World Champion, Alexander Rončević (@alexander.roncevic). We talk all about the epic race in Nice, his tactics, lots about his training, his recent races in Vienna (where he retained his European Championship title) and Cologne (where he broke 2 World Records), and much more.

His second book documents his solo journey of 13,000 miles on a bike, from the UK to New Zealand, and his third is about his time training as an officer for the British Army at Sandhurst. We discuss all of these experiences, and more, as well as his experiences in HYROX which include him being part of the winning mixed doubles team at the recent HYROX London event, finishing in a time of 55.35mins. Bear Grylls has described him as “A true pioneer and an inspiration for tenacity and resilience.” And Sir Ranulph Fiennes has said that Geordie is “An ambitious young man with genuine determination,“ and that his “attitude is inspiring.’” I loved chatting with him.

In this week’s episode of the Rox Lyfe podcast we get to speak with Steve Moharic (@k9_steve). Steve is a former Australian Special Forces Commando, turned dog trainer and hybrid Athlete. During his early years his sporting background was in running and swimming, before he made the switch to Triathlon. After burning out in his early 20’s, he fell deep into Melbourne’s criminal underworld. That was followed by joining the military in 2009. He was deployed to Afghanistan and Iraq, and spent over two years as part of Australia’s most elite force, the Tactical Assault Group. Later in 2016 he qualified as a Special Ops attack dog handler. We go over all this in our conversation, and lots more, as well as his experience in HYROX where he won his age group at his debut event in Melbourne, at a bodyweight of 105kg, which qualified him for the upcoming Nice World Championship. I was connected with Steve through Elite HYROX athlete Jon Wynn who was in the special forces at the same time as Steve. Steves stor

In this episode we get to speak with Maurice Andre (who you may know as @SCImotivation on Instagram). In Oct 2020 Maurice suffered a paragliding accident which left him with a spinal cord injury. Doctors told him he was unlikely to ever walk again. Life would be spent in a wheelchair. Yet just a few years later Maurice has completed several HYROX races, including 2 in one day at the recent London Olympia event. What’s more he has completed a 24 hour walking challenge, 100km bike rides and much more. He is an incredible guy, and an absolutely inspiration to many. It was a pleasure to be able to chat.

Over the years he has guided thousands of runners to a more efficient running technique - from complete Beginners to members of the Swedish national team in running and triathlon who have participated in the World Championships and the Olympics. This episode is full of gold and can certainly, I think, help your performance in HYROX. We talk about running cadence, heel striking, why compromised running could be overrated, how to choose a shoe for HYROX, how to change your running throughout a HYROX, depending on what station you’ve just done, the dos and don’ts of treadmill running and lots more. Not only is Fredrik very knowledgeable but he’s very entertaining and a great speaker and a great teacher and honestly, I could have spoken with him for much longer. I know I found the chat useful and really enjoyable and I hope you do too. You can check out Fredrik's brilliant YouTube channel

In this episode of the Rox Lyfe podcast we get to chat with Anthony Peressini (@awildperessini). Anthony is the husband of the HYROX World Champion Lauren Weeks. But he is also her coach, and coach to two other Elite 15 athletes in Lauren Griffiths and James Kelly. In this chat we talked about so much including his recent hybrid challenge of a heavy bench press and a marathon in the same day, his sporting history and his past as a coach, how his coaching of his wife, Lauren, has evolved over time and what has changed in her training to get her to the place where she was able to smash the World Record in Vienna. We also get into threshold training and lactate testing, mindset, what he changed in James Kelly's training in the few weeks before JK won the Mens Pro race in Cologne, and lots more. It was a really great chat, with someone who is building a very well respected name for himself in the world of hybrid coaching, and if you're into your HYROX training I think there’s a lot you’ll take away from it.

In this week's episode of the Rox Lyfe podcast I got to chat with Lee Tuck (@lee_tuck). Lee recently ran a Men’s Doubles race in HYROX Copenhagen, finishing in 51:05. Back in November, he finished the Men’s Open in 57:09 which puts him in the top 20 fastest athletes ever in that division. That’s all obviously very impressive but what’s more he’s only been in the sport for a relatively short period of time, as less than a year ago, he was still playing professional football, and actually played for the Malaysian international team. In this chat we talk about his career as a footballer, including playing in front of 80,000 fans, we talk about his training, racing in HYROX, and lots more. It was a really enjoyable chat with someone who has already had a very impressive life in sport and now has huge potential in HYROX.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ 🏅 This episode is supported by MyProtein who sell a huge range of supplements, many of which are perfect for helping to support your training an

In this episode of the Rox Lyfe podcast we chat with Charlie Botterill. This was recorded just a few days after Charlie won the mens open at HYROX Rotterdam in a time of 59:35. A few weeks prior to that he ran the second fastest mens pro doubles time ever - along with Jake Williamson who has also been on this pod – in a time of 51:51. Charlie is only 22 but is an amazing athlete and has quite a back story. We talk about his sporting past – including his time as a footballer and a pro cyclist living in France, we talk about his battle with depression after suffering an injury in football, as well as how he struggled with an eating disorder for many years before going to Uni. We get into some detail about the book he’s writing, his training, his racing in HYROX, the time he ran a marathon around Wembley stadium, some of his running numbers and the amazing numbers he used to be able to achieve on the bike, we talk about his mindset in a race and lots lots more. It was a great chat, with an impressive yo

In this episode I get to chat with 5 different top level HYROX athletes. On 13th and 14th of April, we will see the first of the last chance qualifiers where a large number of people will be battling it out in the Pro divisions in Cologne, trying to earn themselves a spot in the Elite races at the HYROX World Championships in Nice. The field is wide open on both the mens and the womens side though in the mens race it is only the winner who will claim their spot, and on the womens side it is the top 3. Ahead of these huge races I wanted to get some of the athletes who will be competing on to the show and have a chat with them. We talk about their training, their mindset, how they’re feeling, their taper plans ahead of the race, and lots more. You'll hear from, in this order, the brilliant Jon Wynn, Zara Piergianni, Hidde Weersma, Alina Willnow and James Kelly. I loved chatting to them all and I think you’ll really enjoy it.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ 🏅 This episode is supported by MyProtein who se

In this episode of the Rox Lyfe podcast I'm chatting with Kristi O’Connell. Kristi made her name in the world of CrossFit. She has appeared at the CrossFit Games in 7 consecutive years, 6 of those times as an individual, where the lowest she ever placed was 13th. She's now retired from competing in CrossFit but recently took on her first ever HYROX – competing in the Pro division in Houston where she won in a time of 64:37. Kristi has more of an endurance background than many crossfit athletes, and her potential in HYROX, should she choose to give it some focus, appears to be very high. She is certainly a name we could see competing in the Elite 15 at some point in time. In this chat we talk about her experience in her first HYROX race, her training, her sporting background, her best sporting experiences, how she transitioned from an endurance background into the more strength based world of crossfit, her mindset, and lots more. It was a great chat with a real sporting great, and I think you’ll reall

In this episode of the Rox Lyfe podcast I'm chatting with Jess Towl (@jesstowl). Jess had only raced in 2 HYROX races when she qualified for the Elite race Major in Washington DC. That seemingly incredible achievement becomes a little more understandable when you hear about her sporting background – from competing for Great Britain in the triathlon, to then moving to CrossFit where she set a world record, and now she has found HYROX. But even though she has an impressive sporting background, it feels like there could be even more to come from her, especially when you hear how low her running volume has been in the build up to the races she's done. We also discuss her transition from triathlon to the more strength based training for Crossfit, we talk about her training, what surprised her in HYROX, how she fared in the Washington race, her mindset, and lots more. Jess is a fantastically impressive athlete, it was great to chat with her, and I think you’ll really enjoy it. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

In this week's episode I'm chatting with Tim Wenisch. Tim is only 25 years old but has been in HYROX pretty much from the beginning.

He has a PB in the Men’s Pro of 56:07, and was the first man to go under 50 minutes in HYROX when he and Michael Sandbach teamed up in the men’s doubles. In this chat we get lots into his training, his incredible running ability, how he trains on the ergs to make him one of the fastest on those in the elite field, his mindset and lots more.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ 🏅 This episode is supported by Xendurance who sell a range of supplements absolutely perfect for improving your performance in HYROX.

In this episode of the Rox Lyfe podcast I'm chatting with James Barber and Rebecca Brett from the Altitude Centre – who, at their facilities in London, help sportspeople obtain the benefits of training at altitude, without needing to go up a mountain to get them. In this chat we talk about the benefits of altitude training, how to obtain those if you can’t train at altitude or at their centre in London, the ways in which you can benefit for HYROX from this type of training, and how it can help when recovering from injury. But it’s not all about altitude - we also get into VO2 max and threshold testing, heat acclimation and lots more. It’s a very interesting, insightful chat that you’ll hopefully take a lot away from. James is the Lead Performance Specialist at The Altitude Centre. He has a Masters in Sport Science, and is a 15 min 5k runner. And Rebecca is a Loughborough University Sport Science student. Her sporting background is in Olympic Weightlifting but she was roped into her first HYROX i

Ben is clearly an incredibly knowledgeable coach, he’s always good to listen to and in particular has a huge focus on the mindset side of sport and life. And it’s that which we focus on today as we discuss the areas that he feels are vital in helping to create true sporting greats.

In this week’s episode of the Rox Lyfe podcast I get to chat with the amazing Sam Briggs (@bicepslikebriggs). In 2013, Sam was crowned the fittest woman on Earth, having won the CrossFit Games.  In 2023, 10 years later, at the CrossFit Games she was crowned the fittest woman on Earth in the 40-44 age group.  She has appeared at the Games an incredible 11 times, has played football and taken part in triathlons to a very high level, has set 2 indoor rowing world records, and has also taken part in HYROX as part of the Elite 12 races back in 2020. A little while back I asked our Instagram followers who they would like to hear as a dream guest for the show and this person’s name came up several times.  It also comes up whenever I've asked who from the world of sport do people think could have a good crack at the HYROX world record if they dedicated some training time to it (she’s known as “The Engine” for good reason!).  Sam is a very special athlete – one of the greatest CrossFit athletes of all

In today's episode of the Rox Lyfe podcast my guests is Amy Bevilacqua. Amy is pretty amazing.

With how much the sport has grown, and an estimated 175,000 athletes competing in the coming year, it is an astonishing achievement to be one of the best of the best in the sport at aged 50, and whilst being a mum to 5 kids. In this chat we talk about her sporting background, her training (her running training in particular where she shares a fairly unique running workout that she regularly does), and lots more. It was a great chat, and I really hope you enjoy it. 🏅 This episode is supported by Xendurance who sell a range of supplements absolutely perfect for improving your performance in HYROX.

In this episode of the Rox Lyfe podcast my guest is Hunter McIntyre. Hunter is the current HYROX world champion and recently broke his own World Record, finishing the race in an incredible time of 53:22. But not only is Hunter an unbelievable athlete – he is always great to chat to!... In this episode we talk more about his recent World Record race in Stockholm (including how he approached the running differently, as well as his thoughts on what happened at the burpees). We talk about he structures his season, what he does differently to others in his running training, what he thinks is possible time wise in HYROX, drug testing, mindset, who from the world of sport he thinks could do very well in HYROX, his plans in the HYROX doubles, his sporting heroes, and lots more! It’s a brilliant chat with a very special athlete - I absolutely loved it and I think you will too. 🏅 This episode is supported by Xendurance who sell a range of supplements absolutely perfect for improving your performance in HYROX.

In this week's episode my guest is the brilliant Joe Skipper. Joe is one of the worlds top Ironman athletes. He has 3 top ten Ironman World Championship finishes to his name, including 5th in 2022, and is one of the greatest cyclists the sport has ever seen. He has won several Ironman races, and in September 2022, he made up over fifteen minutes after suffering a bike mechanical in Tenby to win at IRONMAN Wales, with one of the most impressive full distance performances on British soil. He also took part in the Sub7 project where, along with Kristian Blummenfelt he broke the seven hour mark in the 140.6-mile iron-distance. And he has now competed in a HYROX – and, despite the race not going how he might have hoped, he loved it and sounds like he wants to come back for more! In this chat we talk more about the sub7 project experience, we talk about his training (including his running training and how that might translate to HYROX), we discuss his best sporting experiences, how he liked HYROX, and lots lots

It’s fair to say this man knows his stuff and it was an honour to be able to chat with him. We cover so much – running training for HYROX, the mental side of sport, his thoughts around HYROX in general, why many people get their warmup wrong, what separates some of the top athletes of all time – like Mat Fraser – with others, and lots mo

In this week’s episode of the Rox Lyfe podcast I get to speak with the brilliant. Rylan is just 25 years old. At the recent Elite race at HYROX Chicago – the first major race of the season – Rylan finished 2nd in a very impressive time of 55:46 (making him the third fastest Mens Pro athlete ever). He competes in a wide range of events / sports – he isn’t solely focused on HYROX – but is seemingly able to do so to a very high level throughout. In this chat we talk about his training, how he’s made such significant improvements in the past year, how he deals with travelling and jet lag, his thoughts on drug testing in HYROX, how he managed to train and perform at such a high level when injury prevented him from running for so long, and lots more. I absolutely LOVED talking with Rylan – he’s a very insightful, thoughtful, impressive guy, who is surely a contender for at least a podium spot at this seasons World Championships. We had a great chat, there’s so much to take away from it and

Since retiring from rugby, Jamie is a motivational speaker and has taken on, amongst other things, marathons, ultras, and now…HYROX! We cover so much in this chat including his sporting highlights, how he dealt with pressure through his career, his “time to get off the bus” mantra, his mindset around injuries, what he thinks separated his teams from others, his mindset during HYROX (and how he plans to change that for future races) and tonnes more. Honestly, whether youre a rugby fan or not, this is an absolute cracker of an episode! So many insights, and so much inspiration, from a true sporting legend. I absolutely loved chattin

At the most recent CrossFit Games, Brent finished in 4th spot.  That was his 8th appearance at the Games, and he’s podiumed in 2 of those.  He is a truly elite level athlete who has performed at the highest level for numerous years. Brent was GREAT to speak with – he’s a very intelligent, thoughtful and interesting guy. In this chat we cover his mindset, his background, the traits he sees in the top performers in sport, his work in running the Professional Fitness Athletes Association (PFAA) and lots more. He’s not (yet!) done a HYROX but his potential, should he ever decide to, is absolutely massive, and there is so much I think that we can learn, in the HYROX community, from someone like this. I really hope you enjoy this chat with one of the greatest ever CrossFit athletes!⁠⁠ 🏅 This episode is supported by xendurance who sell a range of supplements absolutely perfect for improving your perf

It’s hard to know where to start with telling you more about this amazing guest.  From a HYROX perspective, he’s just done his first races at the events in Australia, completing the Melbourne race in the Men’s Pro division in a time of 65minutes at the age of 43 and weighing in at 98kg. He’s done a LOT in his lifetime! He’s ex Australian special forces, played rugby to a very high level, he’s been a bodybuilder, he’s competed in Australia’s strongest man and has worked for several years as a CrossFit coach with many top athletes who have gone to the CrossFit Games.  In particular, he has worked with James Newbury, who I recently interviewed on the podcast, as well as Brent Fikowski (who has been to the Games several times, finishing on the podium twice). We cover so much ground – discussing his CrossFit coaching experiences, his training, his upcoming Ultras (where he plans to complet

In this episode of the Rox Lyfe podcast I get to speak with Dr Josephine Perry. Josephine is a sports psychologist who runs her own performance psychology consultancy, Performance in Mind. She has years of experience working with Elite and Amateur athletes, including Olympic medallists, across many sports, to enhance their mental game and overall performance. In this chat we talk about some of the most common issues she sees in athletes, how to deal with performance anxiety, what to think about when a race is getting really tough, how to minimise the chances of mistakes in a race, what to do if HYROX is becoming a bit of an addiction for you, and lots more.  It was such a fun, interesting, insightful chat with a true expert in her field who has helped some of the top names in sport and contains something that everyone can benefit from this whatever level they’re at.  You can follow Josephine on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/josephineperry76/ and visit her website https://performanceinmind.co.u

Graham is the UK’s fastest HYROX athlete.  He has a PB in the Pro division of an incredible 57:35, and finished 5th at the HYROX World Championships in Manchester.

In this episode of the Rox Lyfe podcast I get to speak with the fantastic Jake Williamson. Jake has huge potential to go very far in HYROX. He is just 25, is a very fast runner – and we get into just how fast – and combines that with having plenty of strength which in theory makes him very well suited to HYROX. He already has a time of 66 minutes to his name from the Pro division but has his sights set on Elite 15 qualification in this upcoming season, as well as becoming one of the UK’s fastest athletes, and it certainly seems possible that he could achieve that.We talk the upcoming season, his running training, his sporting background and his ongoing work with Stonewall, raising awareness and supporting the LGBTQ+ community within sport. It was a great chat, with a very, very talented athlete, and I really hope you enjoy it.You can follow Jake on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/jake_williamsonpt/ 🏅 This episode is supported by xendurance who sell a range of supplements absolutely perfect fo

We get into the dos and don’ts of zone 2 training, recovery techniques – including ice baths, common hybrid training mistakes, what the research shows about hybrid training and the interference effect, and lots more. For anyone who likes to geek o

In this episode of the Rox Lyfe podcast we hear from one of the fastest ever women in HYROX, Mikaela Norman. Mikaela burst on to the scene in Hamburg last year when she broke the HYROX Women’s Pro world record in her first race.  Since then, she has also taken the Women’s Doubles World Record, and won the North American championship, and in the past, she has been to the CrossFit Games. In this interview we speak about her training, her pretty incredible training volume, her mindset, her sporting background, the health issues that kept her out of the HYROX World Championship in Manchester and lots more.  This is a very rare opportunity to hear from Mikaela who hasn’t ever really done any podcast interviews in the past.  It was great to be able to get to speak to her and get an insight into the mind and training of a truly elite athlete.  You can follow Mikaela on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/normanmikaela/ 🏅 This episode is supported by xendurance who sell a range of supplements absol

George is one of the UK’s HYROX Master Trainers and spends a lot of time travelling around the UK coaching the coaches from HYROX affiliated gyms.  He’s a very experienced personal trainer and athlete, and in this chat we have a great discussion about his training for an Ironman which he’s currently preparing for, his duties as a master trainer, his recovery strategies, what he’s changed his views on with regard to HYROX training in the past year or so, and details of his upcoming training camp.  George is also good friends with the HYROX world champion and world record holder Hunter McIntyre, and we get into what he’s picked up from Hunter with regard to training and recovery for HYROX. It’s a really good discussion that I think will be helpful,and interesting, whatever level youre at.  George has been on the show before, towards the end of 2022, and so I tried to avoid too much overlap with that episode, so after li

There’s been some significant changes announced that will see 4 major races, plus 2 last chance qualifiers, in the coming season, through which athletes will have the opportunity to qualify for the Elite races at the HYROX World Championships. We cover all the details, speak about their thought process behind these changes, I ask him why they’re continuing to have 15 athletes in each Elite race as opposed to more, we talk about the livestream plans for these races, what the plans are for the age groupers in the world champs and regional championships and lots more. We do have an article up on the site at https://roxlyfe.com/elite-15-series-update/ now explaining everything, but this chat with Mo gives even more detail and clarification. 🏅 This episode is supported by xendurance who sell a range of supplements absolutely perfe

In this episode I get to chat with Elite HYROX athlete Dylan Scott. Dylan is one of the fastest ever Male Pro athletes in HYROX. He finished second at the North American championships, and ran a time of 58.38 in Chicago earlier on in the season. He’s just 27 years old and seemingly has a very bright future ahead of him in HYROX. He is well known for the amount of training volume he puts in – we talk about that some more, plus what his training looks like, what he’s changed in recent months with his training, how he is still very good at sleds, and how he competes at the Elite level in HYROX, despite not being one of the most physically strongest in the field by any means, and lots more. It was a really good chat with someone who is always enjoyable to speak with, and who I personally find very inspirational with his work ethic, and I think there’s certainly something for everyone to take away from this discussion.

In this episode we get to look into the mindset of elite HYROX athletes. A lot of focus gets placed on the training regimes of the best of the best in HYROX, and rightly so, its obviously important. But much less attention goes towards how these athletes think. The fact is, there are some people physically more capable than some elite athletes right now, and who probably eat better and train more intelligently, but don’t perform as well at hyrox because their mindset, in some way, is holding them back. HYROX is tough. What allows some athletes to continue to push on, in the depths of a race, when their body is desperate for them to ease off, is a real differentiator in the sport. In this episode we share some clips from previous interviews with some of the best athletes in the sport – including Hunter McIntyre, Megan Jacoby, Alexander Roncevic, Rebecca Mason, Kate Davey and many more – where tell us they think about during a race when the going gets tough. Listen through and find out which approach

In this episode I get to chat with one of the greatest ever HYROX athletes – Alexander Roncevic.  Alex has been in the sport pretty much from the beginning – he’s been on the world championship podium an unprecedented 4 times, he has a mens pro personal best time of 56:13 making him the 3rd fastest man ever in the sport, he’s just finished 2nd at the World Championships in Manchester, and he is the 2023 European Champion.  We spoke lots about his training, his race experience in Manchester, his sporting background, and lots lots more.  It was a great chat with someone who – I think its fair to say – is a bit of a legend in the sport and who hasn’t done many podcasts or videos in the past so this is a unique opportunity to hear from someone who has shown longevity in hyrox, who is one of the best ever, and who has been able to consistently improve his performances over time. 🏃 Check out our HYROX training plans now at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://roxlyfe.com/coaching⁠⁠⁠⁠

In this video we chat with the 2023 HYROX World Champion, Lauren Weeks. This was recorded just a few days after the World Championships in Manchester where, on the Friday night, Lauren won the Elite 15 race in a time of 59:51, making her only the second woman ever to break the 60 minute mark, and managing to do it on the grid format, on a 4 lap course (both of which traditionally make your race much slower). And what’s more she’s done it all just 10 months after having a baby! It was a great chat, we talk about her training, her tactics for the race, her recovery from giving birth, the changes she’s made to her running training in recent weeks, her mindset during the race and much more. 🏃 Check out our HYROX training plans now at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://roxlyfe.com/coaching⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ and nutrition plans at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://roxlyfe.com/nutrition/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ 📹 Not yet subscribed to our YouTube channel?

Recently in HYROX London Olympia in April 2023, Harry Thompson took a lot of people by surprise when he won the Men's Pro race - against some very strong competition - in a time of 59:34.  It's one of the quickest times of the season from someone who is relatively unknown in the sport so I asked him on to the podcast to chat about his background, his training, HYROX tips, mindset and lots more. We had a great conversation which contains lots of great tips for HYROX athletes whatever level they're at. 🏃 Check out our HYROX training plans now at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://roxlyfe.com/coaching⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ and nutrition plans at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://roxlyfe.com/nutrition/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ 📹 Not yet subscribed to our YouTube channel?

In this episode I chat with Australian HYROX athlete James Kelly. James was last on the podcast back in October 2022 a few days after he’d won the Mens Pro race in Birmingham when he went sub 60minutes on his HYROX debut.

In this video I speak with Dena Hogan - one of the great HYROX athletes who was part of the Elite 15 race at the 2022 HYROX World Championships in Las Vegas (qualifying along with her husband, Tom Hogan, who was part of the Men’s race). Prior to discovering HYROX, Dena was a top-level road runner and triathlete.  In this discussion we talk about her transition from primarily endurance-based sports into hybrid racing, and how she approaches training (and nutrition) for HYROX. It’s a really interesting discussion that will be beneficial to anyone competing in HYROX, especially if they come from a triathlon / endurance background.   To follow Dena on Instagram visit https://www.instagram.com/denahogan1/ To find out more about BLDR, the supplement that Dena discusses, visit https://bldrinternational.com/  For more articles on the sport of HYROX, with lots of tips on improving your performance, visit https://roxlyfe.com/    To support our channel, you can become a Patreon member here https://www.patreon.c
