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.

One week out from HYROX… and the pressure is building.

The nerves are kicking in.
The doubts are getting louder.
And you’re probably asking yourself “Have I done enough?”

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

Because here’s the truth:
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
Why your race plan should come from data — not emotion
How to approach the week if you feel underprepared
The bigger picture of HYROX and why this race doesn’t define you
🧠 Key Takeaway:

This race matters… but it’s not everything.

HYROX is bigger than one result.
It’s about who you’re becoming through the process.

👊 Final Message:

Go in with a plan.
Stay in control.
Execute what you’ve built.

And most importantly show up as someone you’re proud of.

Good luck to everyone racing in Brisbane and around the world.
And if you see Damian on race weekend come say hello 👊

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.
