Kris Rugloski on HYROX, Ultras, and Becoming a Complete Athlete

In this episode of the Rox Lyfe podcast, I chat with 2022 HYROX World Champion Kris Rugloski (@krisrugloski).

Kris has one of the most unique athletic profiles in the sport. She splits her time between HYROX, ultras, and obstacle course racing while working full time as a nanny, and she brings a grounded, thoughtful perspective to all of it. We dig into how she balances training with real life, what she learned from the injuries that kept her out for much of 2024, and why gratitude sits at the centre of her approach to racing and performance.

You’ll hear her honest take on the current HYROX qualifying system, the training structure that keeps her consistent, how she navigates being strong across multiple disciplines, and why female athletes should pay closer attention to their hormonal cycle. It’s a detailed and open conversation with someone who has lived almost every corner of hybrid fitness.
