Rox Lyfe - The HYROX Podcast

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. It was a great chat, hope you enjoy it!

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?

This week on the podcast I got to chat with Paul Gillingham. Affectionately known as "Mr HYROX" or, more recently, "Poptart Paul" (from his love for a prerace Poptart), Paul is the coach who works with our clients to prepare them for a HYROX. We speak shortly after the biggest ever HYROX event (at the time of recording) in London in May 2023 where Paul was part of the incredible team who broke the Mixed Relay World Record.  We chat about that, his background, we review the London event, and also answer some of the listeners questions that have come in.  Enjoy! 🏃 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. He’s now back in Europe to race in Cologne and to try and gain back his spot in the Elite races at the upcoming 2023 World Championships. We had a really good talk, all about how he’s changed his training in recent months, his race plans, his approach to coaching, how he likes to prepare Quest bars and lots more! It was a really good discussion as it always is with James.

In this episode of the Rox Lyfe podcast I get to speak with Kate Davey. Kate is one of the clients who has been working with the Rox Lyfe coach, Paul Gillingham, and she recently finished 3rd in HYROX Barcelona in her first ever Pro race. At the time of recording she’s the 17th fastest Female of the season so very much knocking on the door of the Elite 15. She’s the second fastest UK women ever, she’s a mum, she’s a coach and she was fantastic to talk to.
