Improve your Running Technique (Fredrik Zillén)
In this episode of the Rox Lyfe podcast Im chatting with Fredrik Zillen. Fredrik is a running technique specialist. 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.

Coaching Elite 15 Athletes (Anthony Peressini)
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.

Lee Tuck (from International Football to HYROX)
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.

Charlie Botterill - from Pro Cyclist to HYROX
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 young athlete who seemingly has a very mature head on him and a great future in the sport of HYROX.

5 Athletes Chasing the HYROX Elite
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.

Kristi O'Connell (CrossFit Legend Takes on HYROX)
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 really enjoy it.

Jess Towl (from Triathlon, to CrossFit, to HYROX Elite)
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.

Tim Wenisch (Tips from an Elite HYROX Athlete)
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 is one of the fastest athletes ever seen in the sport, and recently qualified for the Elite race at the World Championships by finishing 3rd at the Major in Vienna. 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.

Rich Ryan - Elite HYROX Athlete and World Record Holder
In this week’s episode of the Rox Lyfe podcast I get to chat with Rich Ryan (@reinforced_running_rich).
Rich has featured in 3 of the Elite race majors this season, and in the most recent in Washington D.C. finished 3rd in a time of 58:16, securing himself a spot for the Elite race at the 2024 World Champs. He also holds the men’s doubles world record – along with recent podcast guest Pelayo Menendez – in a time of 48:36, and is part of the world record holding men’s relay team.
In this chat we cover a huge amount including his experiences in the majors this season, how he went from 13th in Vienna to 3rd in Washington in just 3 weeks, his mindset, what he’s changed in his training recently, running technique, and lots more.
Rich is always great to chat to, he’s a really knowledgeable coach and athlete, and I think there’s plenty you can take away from this conversation.

Pelayo Menendez (from Ironman to HYROX Elite)
In this episode of the Rox Lyfe podcast, I got to chat with Pelayo Menendez (@pelayofelechosa)
Pelayo has only been racing in HYROX for a year but in that time has come a long way…
In his first Pro race he had a 10 mins sled pull, and a 7 mins wall balls, and finished in 70mins, but in the most recent Major race in Vienna he finished second in a time of 56:59, qualifying him for the Elite race at the 2024 World Championships. He also holds the Men’s Open doubles WR (in a time of 48:36) and is part of the Men’s relay WR holding team too.
In this chat we talk about his background, his race tactics, his training, his running and strength numbers and lots more.

Altitude Training for HYROX? (James Barber and Rebecca Brett from The Altitude Centre)
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 in april last year and is now, like many of us, a self confessed HYROX addict.
Towards the end of this chat we talk briefly about an altitude training camp they are putting on, from March 2024 in the lead up to HYROX London at Olympia, which will be a 6 week camp where you can get full access to their facilities, plus VO2 max testing, at a vastly reduced rate. If that’s something you might be interested in you can head to www.roxlyfe.com/altitude and it will redirect you to their website where you’ll get all the info you need.

Ben Bergeron - Legendary CrossFit Coach Chats HYROX and Mindset
In today's episode I'm chatting with the brilliant Ben Bergeron. Ben is one of the most successful CrossFit coaches of all time. Amongst other achievements he has helped coach both Katrin Davidsdottir and Mat Fraser to CrossFit Games titles. He is the man behind Fitness app Comp Train and is the author of a fantastic book titled “Chasing Excellence”. 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. It is a brilliant chat - I’ve wanted to speak with Ben for a long, long time and he didn’t disappoint. I personally think it’s a timeless episode that you’ll want to listen to again and again, and will always be able to take something away from it.

Best of 2023 - Part 1 (featuring Hunter McIntyre, Lauren Weeks, Eve Muirhead and many more)
In this week’s episode of the Rox Lyfe podcast, we look back at a few highlights from the podcast from 2023. During the year I was lucky enough to talk to a huge number of truly incredible guests, and the podcast grew beyond numbers I could have ever imagined.
This week is part 1 of the highlights episode (there will be 2 as there was just too much good stuff to include in 1) where you’ll hear from guests such as James Newbury, Peter Kelly, Felicity Cole, Terra Jackson, Hunter McIntyre, James Kelly, Lauren Weeks, Rebecca Mason, Mimoushka Kion, Dylan Scott, Jane Erbacher, Mikaela Norman (@normanmikaela), Eve Muirhead, and Josephine Perry.

If you’ve been one of our listeners in the past year thank you so much. I know you have limited time and an almost unlimited number of podcasts you could be listening to, so I very much appreciate you.

Sam Briggs - "The Engine"
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 time and really one of the greatest British athletes of all time - and I think you’ll really enjoy our conversation all about mindset, training, her sporting experiences and more.

In today's episode of the Rox Lyfe podcast my guests is Amy Bevilacqua. Amy is pretty amazing. At the age of 50, she qualified, and competed in, the recent Elite race in HYROX Stockholm, making her the oldest ever Elite athlete in the sport. 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.

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!

Joe Skipper (Ironman Great Takes on 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 more. It’s a brilliant chat with a truly incredible athlete and I think you’ll really enjoy it.

Chris Hinshaw (Legendary Endurance Coach)
In this week’s episode of the Rox Lyfe podcast my guest is the brilliant Chris Hinshaw. Chris is a world-renowned endurance coach and founder of aerobiccapacity.com, with years of experience in CrossFit, Ironman competitions, and coaching elite athletes. He has helped coach some of the biggest names in CrossFit including Mat Fraser, Rich Froning, and Tia Clair Toomey. Beyond CrossFit, Chris has also coached Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu world champions, Olympians, FBI and military personnel, firefighters and other professionals. In addition to his coaching, Chris was an elite athlete in his own right (which included a second-place finish at the Ironman World Championships). 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 more. It was a brilliant chat and I think there’s a huge amount you can take away from this.

Rylan Schadegg Interview (3rd Fastest HYROX Man Ever!)
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 I think you’ll really enjoy it.

Rugby League Legend Takes on HYROX (Jamie Peacock Interview)
In this week’s episode of the Rox Lyfe podcast my guest is Rugby League legend Jamie Peacock.
Jamie is one of the most respected rugby league players of his generation. Amongst many other accolades, Jamie has captained England and Great Britain, won the 'Man of Steel' and 'International Forward of the Year' awards, and is the most successful player in Super League history.
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 chatting with Jamie, and I hope you enjoy listening to it.

David is the current HYROX North American Champion – a title he claimed in Chicago in February 2023 when he won the Elite race in a very strong field. In this chat we talk about his training, his injury which ruined his race in this years’ World Championship, how he trains around his injuries, how he juggles being an elite level athlete with running his own gym and being a parent to a toddler, his sporting background, his running and strength numbers, his mindset, his thoughts on the Elite race qualifying this season, why he once cried when his wife brought him soup, and lots more.

"The Professor" Chats HYROX (Brent Fikoski Interview!)
In this week’s episode of the Rox Lyfe podcast I get to speak with the incredible Brent Fikowski. 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!

CrossFit Games Athlete Coach Talks HYROX (Big Bad Bobby Dee)
In this episode of the Rox Lyfe podcast my guest is Big Bad Bobby Dee (www.instagram.com/BigBadBobbyDee)!
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 complete a fairly astonishing amount of distance in a week), we discuss nutrition, his mindset, his running and amazing strength numbers and lots more. It was a great chat, with a seriously impressive, inspiring athlete and coach and I hope you enjoy it.

UK's Fastest HYROX Athlete (Graham Halliday)
In this week’s episode of the Rox Lyfe podcast my guest is the brilliant Graham Halliday. 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.
We talk about his sporting background (which is different to most other elites), his strength and running numbers, what he’s doing to improve his running as one of the physically stronger athletes in the field, drug testing, his experiences at the World Champs, whether there’s any animosity between athletes from America and Europe in the Elite races, and lots more. It was a great chat, with a very talented athlete who seemingly has potential to continue to improve at this sport.

Runner Chasing the HYROX Elite (Jake Williamson Interview)
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/

Dr Phil Price Interview (Hybrid Training Research for HYROX)
In this episode of the Rox Lyfe podcast I got to speak with the brilliant Dr Phil Price (@drphilprice). Phil is a senior lecturer in Strength and Conditioning, and Biomechanics, at St Mary's University. He is also the host of The Progress Theory Podcast (@theprogresstheory) and is currently researching hybrid training and is part of the HIFIm research group, who are investigating and developing exercise countermeasures for the training of astronauts during space travel.
Phil is an incredibly knowledgeable guy with some fantastic insights into hybrid training, and I was really pleased to get to be able to speak with him and basically fire questions at him all about how to optimise your training for strength and endurance when preparing for something like HYROX.
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 out about hybrid training, this one’s for you!

Mikaela Norman Interview (Womens Doubles WR Holder, and North American Champion)
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.

George Edwards, HYROX Master Trainer Interview
In today's episode of the Rox Lyfe podcast I get to chat with George Edwards. 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 listening to this one, go back and give that a listen too, there was a lot of great stuff in it.

Improve Your Row and Ski at HYROX (Jane Erbacher from Erg Army)
In today's episode of the Rox Lyfe podcast I get to chat with the wonderful Jane Erbacher.
Jane runs Erg Army (https://www.instagram.com/ergarmy/) which you may have seen online – they put out a lot of great content, and run workshops all over the world, on using the Ergs (the row and ski, as well as the concept2 bike). She’s helped hundreds of athletes fall in love with these machines and two of those athletes she has helped include James Newbury – who I recently interviewed on this podcast and who finished 5th at the CrossFit games - and Tia Clair Toomey who has pretty much dominated the CrossFit games for several years.
We have a great chat and get into a lot of tips on how to use the machines, how to get set up, what damper setting to use, a great workout to do in your training, how to approach these machines in a doubles HYROX and lots more. There’s a tonne of good tips in here for everyone, whatever your experience level is on the machines.

The Future of Brands and Equipment in HYROX (Matt Brewster, WIT Fitness CEO)
On the Rox Lyfe podcast this week I got to chat with Matt Brewster. Matt is the CEO of WIT Fitness (https://www.wit-fitness.com/), a very popular, multi brand, global retailer born out of CrossFit and who have a fantastic gym- recently HYROX affiliated - in the heart of London. Additionally, he’s on the board of Built for Athletes, and has previously worked at Speedo, Arcadia and Beyonce’s company Ivy Park. He has a huge amount of experience in retail, and in sport in his role at WIT, and we have a great chat about the growth of HYROX, the community, what he sees as opportunities for brands moving into the HYROX space with regard to equipment and apparel, we talk about the development of a shoe specifically targeted at HYROX athletes, we discuss the media side of the sport and lots lots more.
This episode is a little different to our typical athlete interviews but I think you’ll really enjoy it – Matt has a huge amount of experience, knowledge and a tonne of insights into the fitness space and HYROX in general, and it was a pleasure to be able to chat with him.

Elite 15 Series Changes - All the Info! (Mo Fuerste, HYROX Co-founder, Interview)
This is a bonus episode of the podcast where I chat through the recently announced Elite 15 qualifying process changes in an exclusive interview with HYROX co-founder, Mo Fuerste.
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.

What Makes a High Performing HYROX Athlete (Tiago Lousa Interview)
On the Rox Lyfe podcast this week I got to chat with Elite HYROX athlete Tiago Lousa (@thelousaway).
Tiago is 41 years old – he finished 9th in the Elite race at the 2023 HYROX World Championships, and set a PB last season of 57.54 in the Men’s Pro division. He’s a busy guy – he’s a coach, a crossfit box owner, he works in the police and he does all that while still being one of the top performing athletes in HYROX.
We have a really chat about his training, his mindset, some of the qualities he thinks are important in a high performing athlete, and lots lots more. He’s a really good, smart, impressive guy and I really hope you enjoy it.
It was a really good, insightful, enjoyable chat with a really impressive, inspirational athlete.

Elite HYROX Athlete, Dylan Scott
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.

CrossFit Games Athlete to Take on HYROX (James Newbury Interview)
In today’s episode we get to chat with a truly incredible athlete – James Newbury. James has been to the CrossFit games 4 times, and in 2019 finished an amazing 5th. What’s more, he has competed in multiple Ironman events, amongst many other sports, and it’s recently been announced that he will be taking on a HYROX when it comes to Sydney in August 2023.
We get to talk about his training, his sporting history, how he competed in an Ironman just 5 weeks after breaking bones in his back, his perception of HYROX, how he manages and recovers from high volume hybrid training, where he’s at in terms of his strength and running abilities, and lots more. It’s a great chat, with a great guy, who’s a great athlete and who seemingly has the potential to be pretty great at HYROX too. It was an honour to be able to chat with him and I really hope you enjoy it.

Mindset Tips from the HYROX Elite
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 you think might work best for you, and then give it a try in your next training session or race. It can potentially be a gamechanger for your performance.

Alexander Roncevic (A True HYROX Legend)
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.

In this episode I chat with Mimoushka Kion who is the HYROX World Champion and World Record holder in the 55-59 age group. Mimoushka is an amazing athlete, she’s full of energy and we talk about her training, her sporting history, how she stays so young and performs at such a high level as she gets older, her mindset when competing and lots more. She was a lot of fun to chat with and there’s something for everyone here, especially those of you who want to continue to perform as you get older.

2023 HYROX World Champion (Lauren Weeks)
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.
