Charlie Botterill & Jonathan Bullough - #26

In this episode, HYROX Elite 15 athlete Charlie Botterill joins Jake Dearden and coach Jonathan Bullough for a deep dive into what it really takes to compete at the top level of hyrox racing. From Charlie’s journey from pro cycling in France to becoming one of the UK’s fastest HYROX athletes, this episode covers race tactics, movement efficiency, training philosophy, mindset, recovery, and the small details that separate elite athletes from everyone else.

They break down sled tactics, burpee efficiency, Zone 1 training, balancing volume with recovery, and why humility and constant learning matter more than talent alone. There’s also insight into training with athletes like Hunter McIntyre and what it takes to prepare for World Championships.
