Joanna Wietrzyk: Dominating Hyrox, 2/2 Major wins, can anyone beat her?!

We’re kicking off 2026 the only way that felt right — with Joanna Wietrzyk back on the podcast.


Jo was our very first guest of 2025, and since then, her career has gone stratospheric. From racing just a handful of times in Australia to Elite 15 Major wins, world podiums, and now a dream weekend racing on home soil in Melbourne — this season has been next level.


In this episode, we dive into what life looks like after winning 2/2 Majorss so far this season! Jo opens up about racing with less pressure, using each event as a learning opportunity, and treating the season as a build towards Worlds. We talk doubles racing with Jess Pettrow — why their partnership works so well, how they read each other mid-race, and why friendship matters just as much as fitness.


We also get into:

  • What it’s like racing mixed doubles with Hunter McIntyre
  • Racing fatigued and why Jo actually enjoys it
  • Why consistency beats chasing shortcuts
  • How transitions can make or break your race
  • The reality of rising competition in Hyrox
  • And what it really takes to move from rookie to elite


If you’re setting goals for the year ahead, this episode is a reminder that progress isn’t flashy — it’s built race by race, rep by rep.


Happy New Year. Let’s get into it. 🎧
