Ep #76 The Science of Coaching Faster HYROX Athletes with Ryan Geiger

What does it really take to coach some of the world's fastest HYROX athletes?

This week on Hybrid Sport Media, we sit down with endurance and hybrid performance coach Ryan Geiger, who coaches HYROX elite athletes such as Calypso Sheridan, Meg Martin and Katherine Fahsbender.

Before becoming one of the most respected coaches in endurance sports, Ryan represented the U.S. National Team in mountain biking and competed professionally, building a foundation in elite endurance sport that now shapes his coaching philosophy.

In this conversation, we dive into what separates good athletes from world-class performers, how Ryan balances running and strength for HYROX success, why personalised coaching consistently outperforms generic training plans and the role data should play in performance.

Ryan also shares insights into coaching elite athletes, managing training peaks, developing the mental side of performance and where he believes HYROX and fitness racing are heading over the next decade.

Whether you're chasing a personal best, aiming for Elite 15 or simply want to train smarter, this episode is packed with practical coaching insights from one of the best in the business!
