Rox Lyfe - The HYROX PodcastAbout this episode
In this episode of the Rox Lyfe podcast, I’m joined by Bjoern Schinke (@bjoernschinke) - coach to 2025 HYROX World Champion Linda Meier. Bjoern has also worked with 2021 World Champion and former world record holder Tobias Lautwein, and before HYROX he coached Germany’s men’s eight rowing team to Olympic silver. His approach blends movement efficiency, neuro-athletic training, and mindset coaching - helping athletes perform at the highest level while often training on surprisingly low volume. In this episode, we cover: ✔️ How he helped Linda reach the top with one of the lowest training volumes in the Elite field ✔️ Why movement efficiency & neuroathletic training could be game-changers in HYROX ✔️ The role of mindset, pacing & patience in racing ✔️ Why joy might be the most powerful performance tool of all It’s an open, detailed conversation full of performance insights and mindset lessons for anyone who wants to train smarter for HYROX.
