#65 - HYROX World Champion Alexander Rončević - Story, Strategy + Advice for Every HYROX Athlete

I'm so excited to tell you about my first ever sponsor Bear Bar, who make the highest quality shower soaps. If you’d like to try them you can get 15% off by heading to bit.ly/barejase and entering code JASE at checkout.

My guest today is HYROX World Champion, Alexander Rončević. We covered a huge range of topics, from his upbringing in Austria and early years in sport, to quitting his teaching job to pursue a full-time athletic career. We discussed his training philosophy, mental strategies, and the tactical differences between Pro and Elite HYROX racing.

Alex also gave a behind-the-scenes look at preparing for the World Championships and shared reflections on his victory in Nice. He spoke candidly about life as a professional athlete, the growth of the HYROX sport, PED testing protocols, and what might lie ahead after HYROX.

This was an insightful and inspiring conversation with one of the sport’s top competitors. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
