#011 - Greg Williams (Rox Lyfe Podcast) - Insights From The World’s Best Hyrox Athletes

Welcome back to the podcast, today we’re joined by Greg Williams of the Rox Lyfe Podcast. Greg is at the forefront of the Hyrox community and is one of the most trusted names in the sport.

We discuss Hyrox training, nutrition, post-competition recovery, threshold work, zone 2, baseline fitness, and the art of balancing intense training with necessary rest, podcasting and supplementation.

I also ask him about his path, touching on his background as a nutritionist and entrepreneur. What it was like meeting World Champion Hunter Macintyre for the first time and whether he agrees with Hunter on his ‘no squatting in season’ rule.

I hope you enjoy my conversation with Greg Williams.
