We recently caught up with Dexter Buchanan to discuss his explosive start in the sport, his top-10 finish at the 2026 HYROX World Championships in Stockholm, and his plans for the future.
He dived into his sporting background, getting into weight training in university, then ironman, triathlon and even an ultramarathon.
We talked about his first HYROX race, reminiscing about his feelings when he crossed the finish line, “I remember thinking wow, this is such an incredible race and such an incredible sport” and how he got “smashed by JK”.
Dexter also talked in detail about working on his weaknesses, his mistakes in races, and other interesting aspects of racing at such a high level. For the rest, watch the full video.
