Hyrox: 'The fitness competition for everybody' with Greg Williams
Today’s guest is a friend of mine and fellow fitness enthusiast, Greg Williams, who has established himself as the go-to guy for everything and anything related to Hyrox - the emerging sport of fitness racing. Greg is the man behind the RoxLyfe website and YouTube channel, and as well as sharing information on tips and techniques to train for and approach a Hyrox event he has interviewed some of the sports biggest stars. I took part in my first Hyrox event in Birmingham in October 2022 with my training partner Martin Shipperley, and we were delighted to come 5th in our category and qualify for the world championships taking place later this year in Manchester, and used Greg's blog extensively as part of my preparation. In our conversation today I ask him about some of the things he’s learned from talking to some of the elite competitors, as well as explaining what Hyrox and fitness racing is all about, why it’s suddenly exploded in popularity, and we even get into a discussion about Stoicism towards the end. Maybe you’ll feel inspired after listening to today’s episode to get out there and 'get your Rox on' with your first Hyrox event, but even if this isn’t your thing there’s plenty of the good stuff in our conversation to give you a bit of a boost… Roxlyfe blog >> Roxlyfe Instagram >> Roxlyfe YouTube channel >> Hyrox main website >>
