Hunter McIntyre (what happened at the 2024 HYROX World Championships)
In this week’s episode of the Rox Lyfe podcast I get to speak with Hunter McIntyre (@huntthesheriff). Hunter the current HYROX World Record holder in the Pro division with a time of 53:22. He won the HYROX world championship in 2022 and 2023, and had been favourite for the 2024 race in Nice, but ultimately finished 5th in a performance well below his expectations. In this, his first and only podcast interview since then, we talk about the race in Nice, why he thinks he didn’t perform as well as he hoped, what his training had looked like in the lead up and how it will look going forwards, his future plans in the sport (including his plans in the Doubles division), his training volume and numbers, and lots more. It’s an open, honest conversation with a legend of the sport and I think you’ll really enjoy it. 🏅 This episode is supported by MyProtein who sell a huge range of supplements, many of which are perfect for helping to support your training and racing in HYROX.

Meg Martin (HYROX Mixed Doubles World Champion)
In this episode of the Rox Lyfe podcast, I get to chat with Meg Martin (@megsutherland) Meg recently became the HYROX Mixed Doubles world champion in her age group – along with her husband Will Martin – when they finished in a time of 54:58 in Nice. At the time that was only her second ever HYROX race. The day before we recorded this Meg also finished 2nd overall in the open in Melbourne. But not only is she an impressive athlete but at the age of 26 has already done so much. She’s set up run clubs, an apparel brand, coaching, shes done a Mega Goggins challenge, a 100 mile run, and lots more. We talk about all those things, her training, what shes been doing to improve her running so much since her first HYROX and lots more. It was a great chat with a fantastic person who is energising, inspiring and a savage of an athlete, who has her eyes set on the Elite 15, and I think you’ll really enjoy it.

We talk all about the epic race in Nice, his tactics, lots about his training, his recent races in Vienna (where he retained his European Championship title) and Cologne (where he broke 2 World Records), and much more.

Geordie Stewart (Winning HYROX London, Climbing Everest, and Riding Across the World)
In this week’s episode on the Rox Lyfe podcast I get to chat with Geordie Stewart (@geordie_stewart on Instagram). Geordie has quite the story. He is the author of 3 books. The first details his experience of being the youngest ever person to scale the 7 summits (the highest mountains on each of the 7 continents). His second book documents his solo journey of 13,000 miles on a bike, from the UK to New Zealand, and his third is about his time training as an officer for the British Army at Sandhurst. We discuss all of these experiences, and more, as well as his experiences in HYROX which include him being part of the winning mixed doubles team at the recent HYROX London event, finishing in a time of 55.35mins. Bear Grylls has described him as “A true pioneer and an inspiration for tenacity and resilience.” And Sir Ranulph Fiennes has said that Geordie is “An ambitious young man with genuine determination,“ and that his “attitude is inspiring.’” I loved chatting with him. I think you’ll really enjoy, and hopefully be inspired by, our conversation. 🏅 This episode is supported by MyProtein who sell a huge range of supplements, many of which are perfect for helping to support your training and racing in HYROX.

Steve Moharic (Special Forces Commando, and Attack Dog Handler, on HYROX)
In this week’s episode of the Rox Lyfe podcast we get to speak with Steve Moharic (@k9_steve). Steve is a former Australian Special Forces Commando, turned dog trainer and hybrid Athlete. During his early years his sporting background was in running and swimming, before he made the switch to Triathlon. After burning out in his early 20’s, he fell deep into Melbourne’s criminal underworld. That was followed by joining the military in 2009. He was deployed to Afghanistan and Iraq, and spent over two years as part of Australia’s most elite force, the Tactical Assault Group. Later in 2016 he qualified as a Special Ops attack dog handler. We go over all this in our conversation, and lots more, as well as his experience in HYROX where he won his age group at his debut event in Melbourne, at a bodyweight of 105kg, which qualified him for the upcoming Nice World Championship. I was connected with Steve through Elite HYROX athlete Jon Wynn who was in the special forces at the same time as Steve. Steves story is really interesting - he’s a great guy, a great speaker, a great athlete – I loved chatting with him and I think you’ll really enjoy it. 🏅 This episode is supported by MyProtein who sell a huge range of supplements, many of which are perfect for helping to support your training and racing in HYROX.
