Training and racing conversations for the HYROX, and Hybrid athletes. The RMR Training podcast features elite coaches and world-champion athletes Rich Ryan, Meg Jacoby, and Ryan Kent.
Training and racing conversations for the HYROX, and Hybrid athletes. The RMR Training podcast features elite coaches and world-champion athletes Rich Ryan, Meg Jacoby, and Ryan Kent.
In this episode, we break down two very different race stories with one common theme — resilience. Ryan reflects on his race in Atlanta, where an unexpected obstacle early on forced him to adjust on the fly and test his mindset mid-race. Meanwhile, Meg came out swinging in Maastricht, putting together her best race yet after nearly a year of rebuilding.
We unpack what these performances mean, how each athlete’s training will change (or stay the same), and what lessons you can take into your own prep — whether you’re racing through setbacks or building back stronger.
