Rox Lyfe - The HYROX Podcast

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?

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.

Mandy Williams qualified for the 2023 HYROX World Championships with her partner in the mixed doubles after racing her first race in Glasgow.  In this interview, we talk about some more but, in particular, focus on the fact that she was relatively recently diagnosed with autism at the age of 45 and get into what that means for her, how it affects her competing and training, and lots more.  It’s a really interesting, inspiring conversation that I think you’ll enjoy.  You can follow Mandy on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/n_d_athlete/ 🏃 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?
