Danny Rae - #22 - The Jake Dearden Podcast

In this episode, Jake Dearden sits down with Danny Rae to talk about his incredible journey from serving 12 years in the British Army to becoming one of the fastest-rising names in HYROX.

We dive into how the Army shaped Danny’s mindset, discipline, and mental toughness and how those traits helped him go from a 1:18 HYROX Pro debut to running sub-58 in less than a year. Danny opens up about military life, basic training, deployments to places like Kenya and Poland, the realities of Army culture, and why he ultimately made the tough decision to leave the military behind.
