LATEST EPISODE 🔗

8 kilometres a week. Could you actually race Hyrox off that? I reckon you could, if what surrounds it is right. I break it down two ways. First, the five types of running that move your Hyrox: easy, intervals, threshold, tempo and compromised. Then how much you need for your goal. 6 to 10k a week t…

Three years in Hyrox and 38 races, and if I was starting again I'd build it in a very specific order. Most people don't. They go straight to the glamorous stuff, the compromised running, the race sims, the workouts they saved off Instagram. Then they wonder why they plateau. So this one is the pyra…
I found the books I used to write every single session in. Five of them, going back to the end of 2017, every workout in my own handwriting. Nine years ago. I've been training for about 15 years now and this is the first time I've sat down and actually read any of it back. So that's the episode. I…
I got quoted 60 grand to fit out my home gym.I didn't pay it. This one is the story of how the gym actually came togetherand what I spent instead. Then the full Hyrox Perth recap. A 1:01:47, a hundred unbroken wall balls, and the moment on the rower where I wanted to stop. That is also the race whe…
Episode 7 and I'm deep in a taper this week, so that's what this one's about. I'm racing Perth Hyrox on Saturday, and rather than talk about something I'm not currently doing, I wanted to break down tapering while I'm actually in the middle of it. I cover what a taper really is, why doing less is t…
This is the episode I'd make myself sit down and listen to five or ten years ago. If I had, I'd be fitter now. I'd be a better athlete. I wasted years training for the athlete I wished I was instead of the one who actually showed up, and it cost me. That gap between where you are and where you wish…
Sydney Hyrox. 59:32. The time I've been chasing for two years is gone, and it happened because I raced in a way that sounds completely backwards. This one's the full recap. The week, the seminar, the race play-by-play, and honestly the strangest part, hitting a goal I've wanted forever and it not f…
Back from Stockholm and this is the full breakdown. The race, the week, the controversy, and the one thing I couldn't stop thinking about after. Solo race went one second slower than Brisbane. On paper that's backwards. In practice it was probably my best Hyrox to date — best burpee time in 18 mon…
Episode 3, and by the time this drops I'm somewhere over the ocean flying home from Stockholm. I recorded this one early so I could keep the fortnightly thing actually happening. So this is me before the race, not after. Here's where I'm at with my running. Six months ago I couldn't string two week…
Back for episode 2. This week I'm calling out the thing most people get completely wrong with recovery — skipping the basics and jumping straight to the fun stuff. Saunas, ice baths, compression boots. None of it means anything if your sleep and nutrition are a mess. I break down my actual routine,…
