    Ep 13 - How well did CrossFit Prepare Us for HYROX Hong Kong | Coach James & Rocky
    May 18 2026

    Beth sits down with Coach James and Asphodel member Rocky to talk about competing in HYROX Men’s Doubles, training with partners from the gym, and how having a goal completely changes your mindset in training.


    From race prep and pacing strategies to the community side of showing up together, this episode dives into why CrossFit prepares you for more than just the gym floor. James shares insights from a coaching perspective on how to build adaptable fitness for events like HYROX, while Rocky gives an honest member perspective on stepping outside his comfort zone and taking on a new challenge.


    The conversation also explores how training alongside other people keeps motivation high—and why signing up for something can unlock a whole new level of consistency and confidence.

    Ep 11 - Highway to the Hyrox Zone with Coach Alex
    Apr 5 2026
    This week, Coach Alex joins the pod to explain why sprinting your first kilometer is a one-way ticket to the "poop bucket" and a very sad finish line photo. We’re breaking down smart training for runners, Crossfitters, and "gym bros" alike, so you can actually smile for the camera instead of just surviving the sled push.
