New York Times journalist Calum Marsh joins Jude and Paul Reynolds to explore how CrossFit grew from a backyard barbecue into a global fitness phenomenon, and how the world it created helped HYROX thrive.

Calum explains why CrossFit initially resisted merchandise, sponsorships and other opportunities to make money. He also examines Greg Glassman’s influence, the Reebok partnership and the difference between CrossFit as a company and CrossFit as a training methodology.

They debate whether HYROX places enough value on strength, why elite CrossFitters cannot simply walk into HYROX and dominate, and why CrossFit athletes should embrace the sport.

Calum also discusses his book, The Glass Box, and what marathon training taught him about the demands of becoming a true hybrid athlete.

Former Australian Special Forces soldier and HYROX Elite 15 athlete Jon Wynn joins Jude and Paul Reynolds to share the remarkable story behind his sporting career.

Jon discusses his military service and deployments to Afghanistan, the trauma that followed and his battle with addiction. He explains why he refuses to hide his past, how fitness supported his recovery and how HYROX gave him a new competitive purpose.

They also explore Jon’s rapid rise into the Elite 15, the severe knee problem he has raced through and the major surgery that could determine whether he competes again. Jon reflects on choosing his long-term health and family, preparing mentally for life without running and remaining open to whatever his next chapter brings.

Madelyn Eybergen joins Jude and Paul Reynolds after an extraordinary introduction to HYROX. Having only made her Pro debut in December 2025, she recorded a 57:37 at the World Championships, won her age group by four minutes and placed second across the entire age-group field.

Madelyn breaks down her Worlds performance, where she remained in zone three for almost the entire race, and her battle with Lauren Weeks at HYROX Salt Lake City.

She also explains why runners can struggle with wall balls, how she balances running, strength work and cross-training, and what she must improve to compete at the highest level.

With qualification for the HYROX Elite 15 and the 2028 Olympics both in her sights, Madelyn discusses why she refuses to choose between the two ambitions.
