Rich Ryan
Training and racing conversations for the endurance and obstacle course race athlete. The Reinforced Running Podcast interviews the best coaches, athletes, and entrepreneurs in running and obstacles course racing. Our goal is to give you a clear message on how you can improve as an athlete.
In this episode of the RMR Training Podcast, Rich Ryan sits down with Meg Jacoby fresh off her half marathon PR to unpack what distance racing feels like through a HYROX lens. They compare the “grind” of a half marathon versus the constant high-threshold demand of HYROX, why heart rate behaves so differently in each event, and what that means for pacing and expectations.Sponsored by Roxopt — the #1 HYROX analytics tool to help you train smarter and race better.

HYROX elite Rich Ryan breaks down his training evolution—from mastering sleds to dialing in threshold sessions and mindset. A must-listen for athletes chasing faster, smarter racing.
0:00 – Why This Episode Matters
Rich kicks things off solo while Meg and Kent are away racing, sharing why this conversation with strength coach John Patton hits differently—because he’s the one getting grilled this time.

36:10 – The Threshold Training Revolution
Rich explains how tracking time in low Zone 4 completely redefined his HYROX fitness—and why these long, grindy sessions might be the key you’re avoiding.

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.

Running is the glue that holds your HYROX together.

We'll answer these questions and more, breaking down the science behind strength training for endurance-based events like Hyrox.
We'll also talk about the difference between muscular endurance and max strength and why both are crucial for success in Hyrox. Whether you're a seasoned athlete or just starting out, you won't want to miss this episode.
