In this episode, I dive deep into something I believe is becoming one of the biggest problems in HYROX and the hybrid fitness space right now… fitness overwhelm.

From wearables, heart rate data, recovery scores, social media advice, training trends, and the pressure to constantly push harder — a lot of athletes are burning themselves out trying to do more.

Today I break down:

• Why more intensity isn’t always better

• The difference between aerobic vs anaerobic training

• How Zone 2 training actually works

• Why most athletes are skipping the fundamentals

• The real reason many people plateau or burn out

• How to structure your training for long-term progress

• The 80/20 training principle used by top endurance athletes

• How to make HYROX training more sustainable and repeatable

I also share exactly what we’re implementing inside our Hybrid Heroes 1:1 coaching systems and how you can apply these principles into your own training immediately.

If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, stuck, constantly fatigued, or unsure if you’re training the right way — this episode will completely change how you look at fitness and performance.

As always, thank you for supporting the podcast and being part of the Hybrid Heroes journey. Episode 50 is a special one. ❤️

On this week’s episode, I break down everything that went down at the HYROX Brisbane weekend.

From the energy on the floor, to the performances, to the moments that tested athletes the most — this wasn’t just another event. It was a reminder of what HYROX is really about.

If you weren’t there, I’ve got you covered.

And if you were… you’ll probably relate to a lot of this.

We dive into:

What actually happens behind the scenes at a HYROX event

The biggest mistakes athletes made (and how to avoid them)

Key race-day lessons that can save you minutes off your time

Mindset shifts that separate those who survive the race vs those who perform

What I observed coaching and watching athletes across the weekend

This episode isn’t just a recap.

It’s a chance to learn, reset, and level up your approach going into your next race.

Because the difference between a good race and a great one…

usually comes down to the things no one talks about.

In this episode, Damian breaks down exactly how to approach race week so you can show up calm, confident, and ready to perform.

You’re not getting fitter this week.

But you are setting the tone for how you race.

This episode will help you zoom out, control what matters, and avoid the common mistakes athletes make in the final 7 days.

🎯 In This Episode, You’ll Learn:

Why nerves are actually a good sign

The difference between a first-timer, PB chaser, and qualifier mindset

How to reduce anxiety with simple structure

The race week checklist to stay in control and conserve energy

👊 Final Message:

Go in with a plan.

Stay in control.

Most people training for HYROX are working incredibly hard… but many are training in a way that actually holds them back.

In this episode, Damian breaks down one of the biggest problems he sees when coaching athletes preparing for HYROX: people doing a lot of work, but not always the right work.

From random high-intensity workouts to neglecting aerobic development, many athletes fall into common traps that lead to burnout, stalled progress, or disappointing race results. The reality is that HYROX isn’t just about pushing harder — it’s about training smarter and building a system that supports repeatable performance.

Damian dives into several key mistakes he regularly sees in the HYROX space, including:

Why doing random workouts every week can limit your progress

The importance of building a strong aerobic base for race day

How a lack of pacing strategy causes athletes to blow up mid-race

Why strength balance and structural preparation matter more than people realise

The dangers of trying to copy elite athletes without understanding the principles behind their training

This episode is a practical and honest look at what effective HYROX preparation actually looks like, and how athletes can shift their approach to train in a way that builds confidence, consistency, and long-term progress.

If you're currently preparing for a HYROX race — or thinking about entering your first one — this conversation will help you step back, reassess your training, and focus on the elements that truly move the needle.

Whether you're aiming to finish your first event or push toward a new personal best, understanding these principles could make all the difference.

Most HYROX athletes think they need to train harder.

But what if training too hard is the reason you’re plateauing?

In this episode, I break down one of the biggest problems in HYROX right now — athletes living in high intensity zones, skipping aerobic development, and burning out before race day.

We cover:

• Why HYROX is an endurance event (not a sprint sport)

• How building an aerobic base raises your anaerobic ceiling

• Why you can’t “drag up” aerobic fitness from high intensity training

• The Zone 2 mistakes most athletes make

• Why constantly needing a deload is a red flag

• How to distribute intensity properly across your week

• The 30% high-intensity rule

• How to use RPE to monitor your sessions

• Managing intensity in group training environments (F45, CrossFit, HYROX gyms, etc.)

If you’re feeling flat, stuck, constantly fatigued, or not improving month to month — this episode is for you.

HYROX rewards discipline and aerobic capacity — not chaos and ego.

If this helped you, subscribe and share it with someone who trains too hard.

Train smarter. Recover better. Perform longer.

Most HYROX athletes focus on training harder.

But performance isn’t built in the 1 hour you train — it’s built in the other 23 hours.

In this episode, we break down the complete performance lifestyle framework every HYROX athlete needs to improve results, reduce injury risk, avoid burnout, and train sustainably long-term.

📊 Simple HYROX Macro Formula (General Performance Guidelines)

For athletes training 4–6 days per week:

Carbohydrates:

4–7g per kg bodyweight per day

Formula: Bodyweight (kg) × 4–7

Protein:

1.6–2.2g per kg bodyweight per day

Formula: Bodyweight (kg) × 1.6–2.2

Fats:

0.8–1g per kg bodyweight per day

Formula: Bodyweight (kg) × 0.8–1

For most HYROX athletes this equates to roughly:

• 50–60% carbohydrates

• 20–25% protein

• 20–25% fats

HYROX is a high-output, glycolytic sport — carbohydrates drive performance.

If you want to improve your HYROX time, feel better in training, and sustain progress over months and years — this episode gives you the blueprint.

Most athletes don’t blow up because they’re unfit.

They blow up because they can’t pace.

In this episode, we break down why pacing is the most important skill in HYROX, how to apply the principles of Reward the Pacer and Be Repeatable, and how to use your training data to execute smarter on race day.

Fitness matters.

Execution wins.

Most people don’t fail because their program is bad — they fail because of how they apply it.
