Rox Lyfe - The HYROX Podcast
HYROX ERG Secrets, The HYROX Cruise and the Future of Young Stars
In this episode of the Rox Lyfe podcast, we have three conversations covering HYROX performance, the new HYROX Cruise, and how children should train for HYROX YoungStars. First, we chat with Jane Erbacher about her own rapid improvement as a HYROX athlete, the mindset shift that helped her get faster, and what she has learned from working with some of the best athletes in the sport. We also take a deep dive into SkiErg and RowErg technique, including damper settings, stroke rate and how doubles athletes could approach the row more effectively. We then speak with Patrick from HYROX about the upcoming HYROX Cruise. He explains what athletes can expect on board, from HYROX training and coaching to running, Pilates, nutrition, recovery and the huge amount of equipment being taken onto the ship. We also discuss who the cruise is aimed at, what is included and the thinking behind HYROX expanding further into fitness travel and experiences. Finally, we’re joined by Piers Plowman from the HYROX 365 Academy. We discuss the development of HYROX coach education, the growing role of sports science within the sport, research into racing in heat and humidity, and the science behind HYROX YoungStars. Piers explains why children shouldn’t simply train like adult HYROX athletes, how training should change as they mature, and why early sports specialisation can potentially limit their long-term development.
