In this video I get to sit with Elite HYROX athlete, Rich Ryan who finished 7th at the HYROX 2022 World Championships. This video contains extracts of a much larger discussion we had (full interview is on our podcast now) and is primarily about what level the Elite athletes are at in terms of things such as running time, strength metrics, muscular endurance and more. If you’ve ever wondered just what level you’d need to be at to be able to compete with the elite HYROX athletes, this is a real eye opener.
