In this episode, HYROX World Champion Meg Jacoby shares her
journey from NCAA Division 1 distance runner to becoming the
first woman to break the 60-minute mark in HYROX. She breaks down
her training routine—including double threshold days, high-volume
cycling, and heat adaptation—and opens up about overcoming back
surgery and a severe knee injury. Meg also discusses quitting her
engineering job at age 32 to turn pro, being coached by her
partner Benny, and her plan to return to the Elite 15.
