HYROX Lessons from 76 Races and Coaching Hundreds of Athletes - Paul Gillingham
12/11/2026 | 58 mins.This week on the Rox Lyfe podcast I’m joined by Paul Gillingham, our coach at Rox Lyfe, who has helped hundreds of athletes improve their HYROX performances and recently completed his 76th HYROX race!
We look back at five years of racing, from the mistakes he made before his first event to racing doubles with Tim Wenisch, competing at multiple World Championships and some of his favourite race experiences.
We also chat about getting the most from your training as an everyday athlete, the common mistakes Paul sees people making in their HYROX training, when doing less could actually help you improve, and how he helps athletes at the elite end of the sport turn weaknesses into strengths.
It was a great chat with a great athlete and coach, and I think you’ll really enjoy it!

05/11/2026 | 42 mins.In this episode of the Rox Lyfe podcast, we chat with Lauren Armstrong, who recently won the women’s Pro race at HYROX Birmingham in an incredible 58:50.
Lauren is a 36-year-old mum of two who works full time as a data analyst. She’s made huge progress since her first HYROX in 2024, and is now targeting the Elite 15 while fitting training and racing around family life.
We discuss her Birmingham win, how she makes the most of her training time, and how injury setbacks helped her improve areas she might otherwise have neglected.
Lauren also shares the changes behind her station improvements, her approach to race fuelling, and the approach to tapering that might surprise you. Plus, we chat about building self-belief and what it means to show her children what’s possible.
It was a great chat with a great athlete, and I think you’ll really enjoy it.

29/10/2026 | 41 mins.In this episode of the Rox Lyfe podcast, we chat with Danel Louw, a South African Elite 15 HYROX athlete and former national 800m champion.
Danel became the eighth woman to break 60 minutes in HYROX Pro and finished sixth at the World Championships in Elite Doubles. But after stepping away from her athletics career, HYROX has given her a second chance to chase her dream of becoming a professional athlete.
We talk about her journey from the track to HYROX, how strength training improved her running despite running less, the changes she’s making to her training, and her work to improve her burpee broad jumps. We also discuss the pressure of elite racing, her experiences training alongside Olympic rower Kyle Schoonbee, and why her dogs might be her secret training weapon!
It was a great chat with an athlete who’s open about both her ambitions and the challenges along the way. Enjoy!

Greyson shares his journey from college decathlon and Spartan racing to competing at the sharp end of HYROX, including his fourth-place finish at the Americas Regional Championships in Washington DC.
We discuss his approach to HYROX training, why mountain biking plays such a big role in his preparation, and how he balances training with family life. We also explore his coaching approach, the sessions he prioritises for athletes with less time, and his thoughts on the new Elite 15 qualifying system.
There’s plenty on the mental side of racing too, including handling doubt when things get tough, preparing your mind to compete, and pursuing ambitious goals while staying present for your family.
A great chat with plenty to take away for your own HYROX training and racing.

15/10/2026 | 59 mins.In this episode of the Rox Lyfe podcast, we chat with Kyle Schoonbee, a South African Olympic rower who is now chasing success in HYROX.
Kyle represented South Africa at the Tokyo Olympics and has since recorded a 56:10 HYROX Pro time. He shares his ambition to become HYROX World Champion and how his rowing and powerlifting background shapes his approach to the sport.
We discuss the fiercely competitive world of Olympic selection, training through injuries to protect his place in the team, and how overtraining derailed his crew’s hopes of an Olympic medal.
Kyle also shares his approach to HYROX training, why racing too often can hold back your progress, his tips for the sled pull, and how he handles the toughest moments in a race. Plus, we explore his “two percent rule” and what he believes separates the best athletes from everyone else.
It was a fascinating chat with an athlete who brings a wealth of experience and a thoughtful approach to performance. I think you’ll really enjoy it.
