In this episode of the Rox Lyfe podcast, I’m joined by Damian Hughes. Damian is the co host of the High Performance Podcast, a best selling author, and someone who has spent decades studying what drives world class performance. We talk about the lessons he learned growing up in his dad’s boxing gym, the real traits that separate high performers, and the practical mindset tools HYROX athletes can use when races get uncomfortable. Damian also shares insights and stories from interviews with people like Phil Neville, Usain Bolt, Keely Hodgkinson, Fernando Alonso and Stuart Broad. It’s a detailed, grounded conversation full of ideas you can apply straight into your training and racing. 🔗 Subscribe for more episodes 💥 Supporters of this Episode 🏅 MyProtein – Affordable, high-quality supplements to support your HYROX training.

In this episode of the Rox Lyfe podcast, I’m chatting with Faisal Abdalla. You’ll likely know him as one of the HYROX MCs and the voice you hear at finish lines around the world, but he’s far more than that. Faisal trains hard, races regularly, and recently completed a half Ironman while juggling HYROX events, coaching, and family life. We talk about how he approaches the role, how his PMA philosophy guides him on and off the mic, and the insights he’s gained from watching thousands of athletes race, struggle, and finish right in front of him. We also get into the moments that stand out after years inside the arena, what it takes to give that much energy every weekend, and how he’s built a career that spans Barry’s Bootcamp, coaching, film sets, and some of the biggest HYROX stages in the world. It was a fun and honest chat, and I think you’ll really enjoy it. 🔗 Subscribe for more episodes 💥 Supporters of this Episode 🏅 MyProtein – Affordable, high-quality supplements to support your HYROX training.

In this episode of the Rox Lyfe podcast, I chat with 2022 HYROX World Champion Kris Rugloski (@krisrugloski). Kris has one of the most unique athletic profiles in the sport. She splits her time between HYROX, ultras, and obstacle course racing while working full time as a nanny, and she brings a grounded, thoughtful perspective to all of it. We dig into how she balances training with real life, what she learned from the injuries that kept her out for much of 2024, and why gratitude sits at the centre of her approach to racing and performance. You’ll hear her honest take on the current HYROX qualifying system, the training structure that keeps her consistent, how she navigates being strong across multiple disciplines, and why female athletes should pay closer attention to their hormonal cycle. It’s a detailed and open conversation with someone who has lived almost every corner of hybrid fitness. 🔗 Subscribe for more episodes 💥 Supporters of this Episode 🏅 MyProtein – Affordable, high-quality supplements to support your HYROX training.

In this episode of the Rox Lyfe podcast, we chat with Kate Davey (@precisiongolfkate). Kate’s a regular in the HYROX Elite 15, a relay world record holder, and one of the fastest women ever to compete in the sport. After suffering a devastating injury following the World Championships - one that left her unable to walk - Kate’s been forced to rebuild from the ground up. We talk about how the injury happened, the brutal recovery process, and the mindset, structure, and support that are helping her through it. She also shares practical tips on burpees (she’s seriously good at them!) and how she’s finding motivation through rehab. It’s an open and inspiring conversation about resilience, focus, and what it takes to come back stronger. 🔗 Subscribe for more episodes 💥 Supporters of this Episode 🏅 MyProtein – Affordable, high-quality supplements to support your HYROX training.
