Malcolm Signed Up for HYROX. His Training Will Never Be the Same.

Black Box Theory Podcast · Sep 3, 2026 · 3m · transcript

HYROX is a hybrid race — run, then work, then run again — built for people who actually go to the gym, not just people who post it. Malcolm signed up. In this clip he walks through what that did to his training.

Malcolm gets into what HYROX actually is, why it's a different animal than a regular lift, and how preparing for it has changed his endurance and his fitness. Not a guru arc. Just one of the hosts putting his name on a start list and finding out what the work requires. If you've been looking for the human beat in this episode, this is it.
