    HYROX Lessons on Mental Resilience & Performance

    Ryan Kent just went through one of the wildest HYROX stretches we’ve seen: 9 races in ~11 weeks, constant travel, and a full-on mindset rebuild after a tough run of DNFs. In this episode, Rich Ryan and Ryan break down what that kind of race density does to your body, your training, and (more importantly) your head.We talk about the shift from “win at all costs” to “execute a race you’re proud of,” how confidence gets rebuilt one finish at a time, and the exact mental tools Ryan is using when the race starts whispering “quit.” If you’ve ever struggled mid-race, felt your identity tied to results, or wondered whether you can still compete hard without being miserable… this one’s for you. Topics include: HYROX race strategy, mental resilience, DNFs, mantras, pacing vs. aggression, course speed differences, doubles tactics, and balancing elite competition with real life. 👉 Subscribe for more HYROX training breakdowns, race strategy, and mindset coaching.
