Rox Lyfe - The HYROX Podcast

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

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 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. 🏅 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 joined by 2 other podcasters; Ian Kay (from the Fitness Racing Podcast), and Mikey Watson (from the Roxzone podcast). We have a great chat about the 2022/23 HYROX season which has just passed - looking at some of the most memorable moments, stand out performances, what was new that we liked, what could have been done better, what we're excited about, our predictions for the next location for the 2024 World Championships and lots more.

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. 🏃 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 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 and nutrition plans at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://roxlyfe.com/nutrition/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ 📹 Not yet subscribed to our YouTube channel?

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.

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?

In this episode we speak with the UK's fastest ever HYROX woman, Rebecca Mason.  Becs has a pretty amazing record in HYROX; she won her age group at the last World Championships in Las Vegas, she’s just qualified for the Elite 15 at the upcoming world championships, she’s the and she holds the age group world record in the 35-39 age group.  It was a great chat, we talk about her background, how she manages to fit in training around work and being a mum, we talk about mindset, her training and lots 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?
