Episode notes

In this episode of the Rox Lyfe Podcast, I’m joined by Morgan Schulz - an athlete who has now qualified for the Elite 15 in both singles and doubles for the HYROX World Championships in Stockholm.

Morgan’s story stands out. She’s balancing a full-time, travel-heavy job while training on relatively low volume, yet still competing at the very top level of the sport.

We get into her journey through HYROX, the setbacks she’s had to overcome, and the mindset that’s helped her stay consistent over time. This is a really honest conversation about performance, pressure, and finding what actually works for you.

In this episode, we cover:

- How Morgan reached Elite 15 level without high training volume

- Managing injuries and learning to train smarter

- Balancing HYROX with a demanding full-time job

- Why more running isn’t always better

- Her mindset during races and how she handles pressure

- The small habits that have helped her improve over time

It’s a fun, open, and practical conversation and I think you'll really enjoy it!
