Kris Rugloski's route into HYROX is anything but conventional.

A former obstacle course racer and ultra-runner, Kris first entered HYROX simply because it looked like something she'd enjoy. Just a few years later, after qualifying for the World Championships on a roll-down, she shocked the field by winning the 2022 HYROX World Championship.

In this episode, Kris shares her journey from OCR to HYROX World Champion, why she still spends her summers running ultras in the mountains, and how she balances elite competition with a life far bigger than sport.

We dive into the mindset that has shaped her approach to training and racing, the lessons she's learned through injury and adversity, and why gratitude, perspective and being capable for life matter more than results.

This is a conversation about resilience, purpose, adventure and finding joy in the process.

Whether you're training for your first HYROX, chasing a PB, or simply trying to become a stronger version of yourself, there's something in this episode for everyone.
