Awesome!! This is what I was looking for.

Perhaps the guy who conceptualised the 'ideal Crossfit athlete' wasn't aware of just how incredibly challenging this standard is. To have reached that pinnacle of hybrid perfection is amazing. Thanks for the inspiration and information, Fergus

Good luck with the upcoming challenge!

Always been interested in this challenge. Trying to do this with a sub 6 minute 2k row and 500lb squat same day.

as someone who has run a 4:40, and rowed a 1:27 500m row, that row time sounds so much harder than a sub 5 min mile. How are you doing?

@@nadermoini92 slowly inching my 2k down, might take a long while. Trying to move 5 seconds down each month on each 2k. At under 6:20 now. A sub 6 minute 2k is one of the hardest feats, and for sure much harder to do on average than a sub 5 minute mile, especially if your body isn’t long, but luckily, I have that on my side. Have squatted 550lbs at the same body weight I am now, so it’s just about not letting the strength waver too much as I bring my 2k down

How important/how much effort did you put into your diet for this? How many calories a day did you find you were having to eat to keep up with the level of training required?

Yeeeeeeeeah

Are you going to release the deadlift program your training for now?

I was literally watching the Podcast you did With Lucy Davies and Ben Haldon from last year and then this appeared 😊

This is super interesting, but please please please use both metric and imperial units at the same time. My slow conversion brain cannot work out if 212.5 kg for a tough single is close to 500 lbs, or how close a 400 m in 1:10 is to 5 min/mile pace without missing useful info. Keep up the good content

Was that some footage of Meols ?

Did you notice any change to your easy day pace, after decreasing your mile time?

Is there some type of equivalent for women??

If I wanted to squat 500 pounds that would be over three times my bodyweight... I'm happy that I'm getting close to doing twice my body weight
