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.

Amy Bevilacqua (HYROX Elite at Aged 50!)
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.

In this episode of the Rox Lyfe podcast my guest is Hunter McIntyre. Hunter is the current HYROX world champion and recently broke his own World Record, finishing the race in an incredible time of 53:22. But not only is Hunter an unbelievable athlete – he is always great to chat to!...

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.

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.
