In this episode of the Rox Lyfe podcast I’m joined by Tom Rodgers. Tom recently made headlines by winning the Last Chance Qualifier in Barcelona and securing his place in the Elite 15 at the HYROX World Championships.

In this episode, we cover a lot — from his triathlon background and transition into HYROX, to the training and mindset shifts that have helped him climb the ranks, all while working shifts as a police officer.

We also talk through his approach to building sled strength, heat adaptation, how he qualified for the Elite 15 Doubles with Chris Woolley, and why he now believes racing smart beats racing hard.

Whether you're aiming to improve your own HYROX performance or just want a behind-the-scenes look at what it takes to go from unknown to elite, there's loads to take from this one.
