About this episode

In this episode, Maarten Enthoven discusses his elite HYROX training, data-driven strategies, and his innovative project to optimize performance using AI.

In this episode of the Rox Lyfe podcast, we chat with Maarten Enthoven. Maarten competed across both Elite 15 Singles and Doubles last season, has a 54-minute HYROX Pro PB, a sub-six-minute 2K row, and has averaged an incredible 440 watts for 20 minutes on the Concept2 BikeErg. In the episode we discuss his journey into HYROX, his background in rowing and cycling, and why running remains one of the biggest areas he believes he can improve. We also talk about his unusual approach to training, why he can train up to 20 hours per week during the off-season, and the techniques that have helped make him one of the fastest athletes in the sport on stations such as the sled pull and lunges. Maarten also explains why he created his HYROX statistics website, his thoughts on the new Elite 15 qualification system, and how data can be used to make better decisions around training and racing. Finally, we discuss "Project David" - his plan to use his background as a data scientist, along with AI and his own software, to optimise his training, recovery, nutrition and race-day strategy as he looks for an edge over the very best athletes in HYROX. 🔗 Subscribe for more episodes 💥…
