In this episode of The MindSets Podcast, Angus and Charles break down the biggest HYROX race in history as HYROX London 2025 at Excel sets a new standard for the sport. From the course layout and race flow to the atmosphere and organisation, we go deep into what made this event so massive.

We also unpack Angus’ return to racing and the rise of the Sub 60 gang, before shifting gears into the absurd world of elite endurance as Alex Yee casually runs a 2:06 marathon in Valencia. Then it is onto the dramatic Formula 1 season finale, where Lando Norris takes the title over Verstappen and Piastri in a wild ending to the championship.

This week, we talk about:
