Sean Wade on HYROX: The Mindset and Training Behind a 1:02 at 60

In this episode of the Rox Lyfe podcast, I’m joined by Sean Wade.

Sean is a former Olympian for New Zealand and one of the most remarkable athletes currently competing in HYROX. At 60 years old, he’s run 1:02 in the Men’s Open division and is chasing an extraordinary goal - becoming the first athlete to beat his age in minutes.

In this conversation, we cover:
✔️ Sean’s journey from junior national tennis champion to Olympian marathon runner
✔️ How he transitioned into HYROX in his late 50s
✔️ The mindset and goal-setting strategies that still drive him today
✔️ His unique training approach, including treadmill work, recovery, and wall ball volume
✔️ What it takes to keep improving and competing at a world-class level at 60

It’s an honest and fascinating conversation packed with lessons on longevity, discipline, recovery, and performance mindset from an athlete who continues to defy expectations.
