Inside the Mind and Training of HYROX Elite Athlete Gabe Heck
2026/10/08
In this episode of the Rox Lyfe podcast, we chat with Gabe Heck, an American HYROX Elite 15 athlete and coach based in Bangkok.
Gabe shares his journey from running at Cornell University to building a new life in Thailand, and how sport helped him through struggles with depression and addiction.
We discuss his HYROX training, how he has developed his running and station performance, and his experiences racing across Asia and the rest of the world. We also explore his mindset around competition, how he uses visualisation before races, and the balance between committing to sport and maintaining a life outside it.
Gabe has already shown he can compete with some of the best athletes in the world, and we talk about his ambitions for the season ahead, including his goal of qualifying for the Elite 15 at the World Championships in Hong Kong.
It was a great chat with an athlete who speaks openly about both his training and his life, and I think you’ll really enjoy it.

The Performance Chef’s Guide to HYROX Nutrition - Dan Churchill
2026/09/24
In this episode of the Rox Lyfe podcast, we chat with performance chef and HYROX athlete Dan Churchill.
Dan has a background in exercise science, has worked as an executive chef in New York, and has competed in everything from HYROX to marathons, 100-mile races and Ironman training.
We discuss his approach to nutrition for HYROX, including what to eat before and after training, why meal timing matters, whether you really need to carb load before a race and why reducing fibre before competition could help your performance.
Dan also explains the difference between eating for health and eating for performance, the role of fast and slow-release carbohydrates, hydration and electrolytes, and some of the common nutrition mistakes he sees athletes making.
We then talk about his own HYROX training, why cycling could be such a useful tool for hybrid athletes, his goal of going sub-60 and the lessons he has taken from training up to 26 hours a week for an Ironman.
Finally, Dan shares some simple ways to improve your cooking, the foods he thinks deserve more attention and why learning a few basic kitchen skills can make eating well much easier.

The Doctor Taking on the HYROX Elite - Saskia Millard
2026/09/17
In this episode of the Rox Lyfe podcast, we chat with Saskia Millard.
Saskia is a doctor, an elite HYROX athlete and a former international runner with a 16:02 5K PB. She was also the fastest female age-group athlete at the 2026 HYROX World Championships.
In the episode, we discuss how she balances working in medicine with competing at the highest level, why becoming a full-time athlete may not improve her performance and how having a demanding career gives her a valuable sense of perspective.
Saskia explains why she runs less than 20 kilometres per week, the brutal 10 x 400m sessions that leave her struggling to see clearly and how HYROX training has helped improve her running fitness.
She also talks openly about her history of injuries and under-fuelling, including breaking her hip during a 5K race, and the changes she has made to become stronger, healthier and more sustainable as an athlete.
Finally, we discuss her doubles partnership with Holly Archer, the penalties that have cost them in previous races, why receiving a red card makes Saskia run even faster, passing out during the lunges in Berlin and her ambitions to qualify for the Elite 15 and challenge for podiums.

From Refugee Boat to HYROX Elite - Abbas Nazari
2026/09/10
In this episode of the Rox Lyfe podcast, we chat with Abbas Nazari.
Abbas has an extraordinary story. Born in Afghanistan, he fled the country with his family as a child and eventually found himself aboard an overcrowded refugee boat carrying hundreds of people across the Indian Ocean. After the boat’s engine failed and it began taking on water, they were rescued in an incident that became an international political story.
We discuss Abbas’s childhood in Afghanistan, the journey his family made in search of safety and what he remembers about believing, at just seven years old, that he might not survive the crossing.
Abbas also talks about starting a new life in New Zealand, how those experiences shaped his perspective and resilience, and why he now sees that difficult period of his life as a source of strength.
We then move into his HYROX journey, including racing in the Elite 15, qualifying for the 2027 World Championships in Hong Kong and the training lessons he has learned along the way.
Finally, Abbas shares his thoughts on keeping HYROX and athletic performance in perspective, why consistency matters more than constantly training hard and what he hopes people take away from his story.
It was a great chat with a great guy and I think you'll really enjoy it.

The HYROX Data That Could Make You Faster - Roxfit
2026/09/03
In this episode of the Rox Lyfe podcast, we chat with Ben and Joey from Roxfit.
Roxfit has grown from a simple HYROX workout timer into an app with more than 500,000 downloads, helping athletes track races, analyse performance, plan pacing and prepare for their next event.
We discuss how Roxfit started, why the app has grown so quickly and what the huge amount of HYROX race data they collect can tell us about performance and help us race faster!
Ben and Joey share some fascinating insights around pacing, including what happens when athletes start too fast, which stations correlate most closely with overall race time and why Roxzone performance matters more than many people realise.
We also discuss what they have learned from working closely with elite athletes including Joanna Wietrzyk, Charlie Botterill, Sinead Bent and Josh van Zeeland, and the habits and mindset that separate some of the best athletes in the sport.
Finally, we look at the next stage of Roxfit, including Roxfit Ultra, Athlete IQ, race-time predictions, personalised performance insights and new features that will allow you to compete against yourself, your friends and elite HYROX athletes during training.

The Elite HYROX Athlete Using Data and AI to Find an Edge - Maarten Enthoven
2026/08/27
In this episode of the Rox Lyfe podcast, we chat with Maarten Enthoven.
Maarten competed across both Elite 15 Singles and Doubles last season, has a 54-minute HYROX Pro PB, a sub-six-minute 2K row, and has averaged an incredible 440 watts for 20 minutes on the Concept2 BikeErg.
In the episode we discuss his journey into HYROX, his background in rowing and cycling, and why running remains one of the biggest areas he believes he can improve.
We also talk about his unusual approach to training, why he can train up to 20 hours per week during the off-season, and the techniques that have helped make him one of the fastest athletes in the sport on stations such as the sled pull and lunges.
Maarten also explains why he created his HYROX statistics website, his thoughts on the new Elite 15 qualification system, and how data can be used to make better decisions around training and racing.
Finally, we discuss "Project David" - his plan to use his background as a data scientist, along with AI and his own software, to optimise his training, recovery, nutrition and race-day strategy as he looks for an edge over the very best athletes in HYROX.

HYROX ERG Secrets, The HYROX Cruise and the Future of Young Stars
2026/08/20
In this episode of the Rox Lyfe podcast, we have three conversations covering HYROX performance, the new HYROX Cruise, and how children should train for HYROX YoungStars.
First, we chat with Jane Erbacher about her own rapid improvement as a HYROX athlete, the mindset shift that helped her get faster, and what she has learned from working with some of the best athletes in the sport. We also take a deep dive into SkiErg and RowErg technique, including damper settings, stroke rate and how doubles athletes could approach the row more effectively.
We then speak with Patrick from HYROX about the upcoming HYROX Cruise. He explains what athletes can expect on board, from HYROX training and coaching to running, Pilates, nutrition, recovery and the huge amount of equipment being taken onto the ship. We also discuss who the cruise is aimed at, what is included and the thinking behind HYROX expanding further into fitness travel and experiences.
Finally, we’re joined by Piers Plowman from the HYROX 365 Academy. We discuss the development of HYROX coach education, the growing role of sports science within the sport, research into racing in heat and humidity, and the science behind HYROX YoungStars. Piers explains why children shouldn’t simply train like adult HYROX athletes, how training should change as they mature, and why early sports specialisation can potentially limit their long-term development.

Charlie Searle on HYROX Training, Fast Lunges, Mindset and World Champs Success
2026/07/16
In this episode of the Rox Lyfe podcast, we chat with Charlie Searle, one of HYROX's fastest-rising athletes and a World Championship Elite Doubles medallist.
Charlie has a Pro Singles personal best of 60:11 and finished an impressive 2025/26 season with a third-place finish in the Elite Doubles at the HYROX World Championships alongside Lauren Stockley, as well as winning the Mixed Doubles age group world title.
In this conversation, we discuss:
How reducing her training volume actually helped her become a better HYROX athlete
Why she believes many athletes do far more training than they need to
How she structures her running and strength training across a typical week
The training behind some of the fastest lunges in HYROX
The eating disorder that nearly took her life and how that experience shaped her mindset
How she deals with pressure and difficult moments during a HYROX race
Why quality and purpose matter more than simply adding more training volume
The importance of building your training from your own base rather than copying elite athletes
Whether you're chasing an elite HYROX time or simply looking to train smarter and improve your race performance, there's plenty of practical advice in this episode.
