HYROX AG World Record Holder and National Running Coach - Wilhelm Lilge
In this week’s episode of the Rox Lyfe podcast I got to speak with Wilhelm Lilge (@wilhelmlilge)
Wilhelm holds the 60-64 age group world record in HYROX with a time of 1.09 – from his first ever solo race!
He is not only an impressive athlete though but has been a coach for much of his life, including many years as a national running coach for the Austrian Athletics Association where he’s worked with many Olympians and world and European championship athletes.
Wilhelm is a passionate anti-doping campaigner, and we talk a little about that, as well as his thoughts on training for HYROX, lactate testing, why he thinks Alexander Roncevic can be even faster, and much more.
It was a great chat, and I think you’ll get lots from it.

Tia-Clair Toomey - 7x Fittest Woman on Earth Chats HYROX
In this week's episode of the Rox Lyfe podcast I get to chat with the legendary Tia-Clair Toomey (@tiaclair1).
Tia is surely one of the greatest athletes of all time: seven-time CrossFit Games champion, 2016 Olympian for Australia, Commonwealth Games gold medalist, and even a qualifier for the Winter Olympics in bobsleigh.
Having Tia on the podcast has been a dream of mine since Rox Lyfe began, and this conversation did not disappoint. We dove into her preparation for HYROX Melbourne where she’ll compete in mixed doubles with former guest James Newbury on 15th Dec 2024. We also got to speak about her incredible mindset, the traits that have fuelled her success, and lots more.
Tia doesn’t do a huge number of interviews so to be able to speak to her like this is rare, it was an absolute privilege and I really hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

"I couldn't breathe!" - HYROX Elite 5 Athlete: Rylan Schadegg
In this week’s episode of the Rox Lyfe podcast I got to speak with Rylan Schadegg (@ryalnschadegg). Rylan recently qualified for the Elite race at the HYROX World Championships after an incredible 3rd place finish at the Elite 15 Major in Amsterdam. What makes his performance even more remarkable is that he's been battling serious health challenges over the past year—and heading into Amsterdam, he thought it might be his last race for a while. In this candid conversation, Rylan opens up about everything he's faced since we last spoke—how he’s navigated the physical, mental, and spiritual aspects of recovery and competition. This was an honest and inspiring chat with a phenomenal athlete who, if all goes well, is a major contender for this season's HYROX World Championship.
