Josh Van Zeeland on HYROX Running, HRV Training, and Cracking the Elite 15
In this episode of the Rox Lyfe podcast, I’m joined by Josh Van Zeeland.
Josh is one of the most exciting athletes to emerge in HYROX over the past year. He recently finished 5th on his Elite 15 debut in Melbourne and recorded the fastest run split in the entire field, immediately putting himself on the radar as a serious contender at the sharp end of the sport.
We cover:
His background in rugby and how it shaped his engine and resilience
Why his running is such a weapon despite being a bigger athlete
How he manages running volume and intensity without breaking down
Using HRV data to guide training decisions and avoid burnout
Station efficiency, wall ball depth, and lessons from Elite 15 racing
The mindset shift required to move from “happy to be there” to chasing podiums
It’s an honest, detailed conversation that goes deep into training decisions, race execution, and what really separates performances at the Elite level of HYROX.
