David Magida (HYROX North American Champion)

In this episode of the Rox Lyfe podcast I get to speak with the brilliant David Magida. 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. It’s a really interesting conversation with a seriously impressive, consistent athlete and I think you’ll enjoy it!

"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!⁠⁠ 🏅 This episode is supported by xendurance who sell a range of supplements absolutely perfect for improving your performance in HYROX.

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.  🏅 This episode is supported by xendurance who sell a range of supplements absolutely perfect for improving your performance in HYROX.

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.  You can follow Graham on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/elationfitnesstraining/ 🏅 This episode is supported by xendurance who sell a range of supplements absolutely perfect for improving your performance in HYROX.

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/ 🏅 This episode is supported by xendurance who sell a range of supplements absolutely perfect for improving your performance in HYROX.

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.  You can follow Mikaela on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/normanmikaela/ 🏅 This episode is supported by xendurance who sell a range of supplements absolutely perfect for improving your performance in HYROX. They offer high quality supplements, have been around for years, and are a very knowledgeable team who understand and compete in HYROX.
