How Elite HYROX Athletes Balance Training, Coaching & Parenthood

What does HYROX training really look like when you’re also balancing injuries, coaching, work, family, and a packed race calendar?

In this episode of the RMR Training Podcast, Rich Ryan, Ryan Kent, and Meg Jacoby have a more personal conversation about what happens behind the scenes of elite HYROX preparation.

They break down offseason strength work, returning to higher-intensity training, managing injuries, and why harder workouts aren’t always better workouts. The conversation also explores training in extreme heat, building tolerance for discomfort, and learning when to push versus when to protect recovery.

But the biggest theme goes beyond fitness.

For athletes who are also parents, coaches, and business owners, training doesn’t happen in a vacuum. Finding enough time and energy to perform at a high level while still being present for family creates a constant balancing act.

The takeaway?

Getting better at HYROX requires more than simply training harder. It means knowing what your body needs, managing your time, and building a training approach you can actually sustain.
