In this episode of the Rox Lyfe podcast we are joined by Sean Noble (@sean_noble7).

Sean has had a huge HYROX season — winning in Dublin with a 55-minute performance, battling with the world’s best in Glasgow, and now leading Team Ireland at the HYROX World Championships in Chicago.

But there’s way more to the story…

In this episode, Sean speaks openly about what drives him — including the personal loss that changed everything. He talks through the highs and lows of his season, including injury heartbreak in Vegas, the controversial Glasgow penalty, and a bounce-back effort that saw him qualify for the Elite 15 twice.

We also dive into his training — from brutal high-intensity sessions to why he skips traditional zone 2, how he's adapting his weight and running style, and what it really takes to compete at this level while holding down a full-time job in commercial law.

It was a great, open, honest chat with a super impressive HYROX athlete.

In this week's episode we chat with Emilio Aguayo (@aguayotri).

Emilio is a former pro triathlete from Spain who’s quickly become one of the fastest names in HYROX — going sub-60 multiple times and recently clocking one of the top times ever in the Pro division.

In this episode, we dive into:

⏱️ Why he left triathlon (despite reaching the Ironman World Champs)
🧒 How HYROX has helped him be a better dad
⚖️ His thoughts on weight, fuelling, and training at a natural weight
🏋️‍♂️ The switch to strength work after never lifting as a triathlete
🧠 Race mindset, recovery habits, and running training
🔥 His honest take on fast courses, time-based qualification, and what’s next

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.
