Never heard of hyrox. I hope to forget it

I don't know how or why KZread started showing this to me, but the editing and your humor is always on point. I'm not crazy enough to attempt these challenges, but its a lot of fun watching your attempts.

Been watching your videos for a while, you're so strong and fit, then I see you doing Burpees as bad as I do them, made me feel much better about me struggling with them too.

Loving your humor and genuinity. This is such a dad content for me, I raised without one but would have supported him if he'd done things like and the way you do. So, I'm rooting for you and keep being you, Sir! Love from Germany

😂 well played. And even as an example. This makes me think it can be a good training with breaks to see what you really can do the event max at and then the difference of being tired. Theoretically PB time to pace on.

During my training I certainly try and do everything in isolation a couple of times - just to get used to going through it at speed.

Thing is, Hunter doesn’t look that fast, he is just doing it so effortlessly, particularly the run.

Love your angle on these physical challenges Mark. Its just amazing how these people tune themselves to compete at such a high level. Most of all the humour is critical as we all need the carry on piss take too to feel human. Keep it goi g dude. Good luck on your Hyrox. May you both go well 👌💪🤞

Awesome content LMAO! I'm training for my first HYROX in London so can sympathise. Running 3:40 off a sled push is ridiculous, but running that fast off what must have been a 3:20 row is nuts. When you watch him like most elite athletes he manages to make it look doable, nuts! This was my favourite of these you have done yet! Best of luck to you and Jen in Birmingham, stay hard!

Wow. This is the first time I have heard about these HYDROX events and just wow. They look bloody tough. Hunter is a beast and so are you Mark! Great vid!

Nuts are really the recurring theme on your channel. 😂😂😂😂 But no nonsense, that was once again an entertaining masterpiece. Good luck and have fun with your next Hyrox competition!

I've signed up for my first Hyrox race in Dublin. Your tips are really helpful and now I know the times I need to aim for , Thanks. I love the videos.

Suffering has never looked this good ! Always fun watching, thanks Mark !

Absolutely love your videos! So entertaining and really up the motivation and inspiration! Thanks for all of them 🙂

This is such a fun format! Great effort and you did a great job highlighting how impressive it is for Hunter to string together one beast-mode performance after another.

LOVING, really LOVING the sled pull piece. And in general, big fan of the channel. Thanks and hurrah

This was a good watch. Funny that you picked Dallas. I was at that race with Hunter, support crew. He’s a solid dude. Keep up the videos. I enjoy watching them while on the treadmill or the wahoo kicks.

Great video! Looking back at your row, I found that putting a little strip of electric tape across the beam, 1/4” past where your shin angle is like Cam’s, you’ll sense a little bump if you compress too far forward to the weak positions. After a few weeks it will be reflex. You are easily a sub 6:22 rower.

Loved the video Mark! Great work hanging in there on all those reps!

What an entertaining video! Thanks for putting yourself out there, and best wishes for an awesome performance on Saturday!

The level of work you place in your content is excellent! Keep up this superb stuff. It’s what we all came for. Impressive times for all the individual events you attempted!! 🔥💪

Hi Mark, just picked your most recent video to thank you for the role you unknowingly have played in my completion of the half marathon of Amsterdam today. As a 38 year old male with no background in endurance sports whatsoever I needed quit a bit of motivation and inspiration to get there. Since the vast majority of the other fitness content is no fun at all, your channel stuck. So thanks! And I bet that my time of 1:44 would likely place me in the top half of my age group - smoking men of 35+ (yes, I know, final step in becoming an adult about my health)

The humor you bring to your vids is awesome. Your line “The Hunter is about to becom…you get the idea” cracked me up 😂

Good fun, enjoyed that. I have to say the look on your face at 8:10 after your lovely partner says "that can't be right" is priceless.

Absolutely legend! Your deprecating humour…your humour…is fantastic. Many congratulations on another super video.

This is one of the best content pieces about HYROX I’ve seen so far. Great stuff. ❤ from HYROX HQ

LOL, your face when Jen called you out on the sled push..... dying.

Great video again Mark. Good luck for Saturday in Brum.

I'm nowhere near you or anyone else half decent in the fitness stakes but I enjoy running at my own steady pace and this video was great to watch. Thanks for bringing the Sunday laughs!

Love the "duck pond" and the "in a field" clips. Just as entertaining as the 80s. Video is excellent, it is bonkers at how good Hunter and the other actually are 😬😎

Your good at making this look fun and funny. I'm so out o shape it's sad but it does not take long to get that way after an injury or two. At 67 years old I've hiked almost 5000 miles in the last 4 years and 2500 miles of it was backpacking on the Pacific Crest Trail in California. Now I'm injury free so I'm back to hiking 4 days a week if it's not too hot building up my aerobic endurance before I try working on my uphill speed. I would like to do a 10K trail run before I'm 70 years old. I'm still a little too fat to run much so I'm work on hiking 20 miles at a time. Once I lose 15 pounds I'll start running again. Dont want another overuse knee injury.

LOL at all the wardrobe changes. Thank you for the video. It was fun and interesting to watch!

Very entertaining content. One sequence reminded me of a book I read recently, the journals of A P Low, a geographer who mapped the interior of northern Canada. He records one canoe portage over mountainous terrain of 6 miles which required 2 trips, so total of 18 miles. The packs carried weighed 100 lbs and the average voyageur carried 2 packs at a time on a tumpline (This was average for them - during the fur trade the beaver pelts were in bales weighing 90 lbs and most carried 2 bales on a portage, some carrying more). Low records that the portage was done at 3 mph. Over a rough trail, hilly, with loads of 200 lbs, and for them just a day in the life. I wonder how we would stack up. Anyway, love the humor and inspiration.

Mark Your channel is really great and I think you're a top bloke. Keep at it big man.

Hey Mark, I just found out about your channel and wanted to compliment you. You give an example that everyone can sport. you dont have to be the best you just have to start. sport is fun and isnt watching your calories intake and stepping on a scale every day. People can relate to your way of sporting and also the 10 years before and now progress. it wont happen in 3 months. If you like to sport, go for it do it. if you just want to get fitter and do a walk every now and then thats fine aswel. there is always someone better in sport then you are and this video is a good example that its not about bitching on the better person but learning from him and see him as an example to reach a goal. Really good content with a good dose of humor, tips and sports combined. keep it up man. If you like to sport, go for it do it. just go outside you dont need to start with 10K worth of equipment. You have my sub! greetings from the netherlands

Hunter is probably on PEDs ⚙️. Your already one of the best in the world Mark, your the man to beat. Good luck on the Hyrox and thank you for telling me about Hyrox. I want to do one next year. 💚👍💚

Good luck on your next Hyrox. Hope to maybe see you come to Amsterdam next year, when I will be doing my first. This year is a bit too soon with just a couple months of training under my belt (from literally not doing any exercise for 7 years) but next year is a big mark on the calendar. if it is around the same date as this year.

You are a great guy that inspires me to progress in my personal fitness level.

Your videos are frickin insane man. You do some pretty out there challenges and work with some incredible people!

The "Top Gun" references are just always the best - since the first one in 1986 it's been my favourite movie of all time, and agree; I have no time for anyone who reasons with logic about certain aspects in the movie! 🙂

love these, just puts things into perspective.

When they leave home at 7 am to drive to their office, I think the same 🤣

The fitness stuff is just a bonus. Here for the comedy, as always.

Absolutely love your videos, hilarious too! But of course I have to defend us short guys who hear tall guys complain about the disadvantages of being tall for a few zones. It's an overall advantage and only slight disadvantage on the two zones you mentioned, burpee broad jump and lunges, but even with those the longer trips downward is offset my the long stride forward that means fewer broad jumps and lunges. In the end I think Hyrox did a good thing in creating a course that balances out all individual advantages and disadvantages. The best example is the wall balls, it's a short quick squat for me at 5'7" but the the target requires a lot of energy to hit 10ft whereas you have a longer slower squat but can probably touch the target LOL.

I like the addition of the little blooper at the end! Quite enjoyable!

Keep up the great content and good luck!

dude - you crack me up. Lots of fun on this channel

Brilliant video mate good look at hyrox hunter is a beast

This was a world class video! Also first time I've heard about HYROX, looks great.

Amazing video as usual!

Love the headband Mark. As a fellow baldy I've never been able to carry that look at all well, whereas you seem to suit it. Keep pushing that envelope!

Fun, top quality content. Good luck at the real thing next week. I think this counts as intensity training. 😁

Mark, great name by the way, fantastic content as always and it's always a pleasure to watch. maybe more outtakes where filming has gone wrong would be ok at end of content, see Katy Kookaburra , maybe. Also for all the support I think you should take the wife shopping for whatever she wants to gain the browny points. STAY HARD

I've just watched a couple of your videos, I have subscribed simply as you are a funny guy, I love all the small bits of humour you add.

Love the way you project your way of life into the videos, like doing challenges with the wife and so on. Makes me wanna move to the uk, get in shape and fall in love with someone to be honest 😂

I'm really enjoying your videos. Have to say love the movie references especially the rocky ones and you're a legit funny guy

As ever, humour, good info, and excellent content.

'It was all the nuts' ..... made me laugh! great job Mark

both those were early last year - aok PB is 42:36, half marathon 1:36. Right now I'm way to heavy to hit any of those but next year I'll do sub 19/40/90 for those 3 distances. And 15 years ago I was obese and would have died running 5k 😂

Hyrax, I think, is a much better measure of fitness and a LOT safer than CrossFit. Don’t get me wrong. Cross-training is the bomb. It’s just a lot of the stuff CrossFit boxes promote is positively unhealthy & dangerous.

Great video, discovered this channel recently and think it’s the most relatable out there, wonderfully self deprecating British humour. The only downside was Acorns being referred to as ‘nuts’, as a rural Englishman this doesn’t sit well with me at all, surely you don’t call conkers ‘nuts’ as well?

Really enjoyable video! Thank you 🙏🏻

Love this channel with his voice it’s like watching river monsters but about fitness

I love your athlete comparison videos. It’s so cool to see how extraordinary the “best of the best” are compared to us mere mortals. You will always hold the “duck pond championship” though. No one can take that from you. 😂

Just because you say "don't mention the headband", I feel compelled to mention it. 😂😂😂😂. You do great!

Just found your channel...solid content! I will be doing my second hyrox over her in Poland in September. 1st one I got 3rd in the 30-34 age group...I'm now 36.

Hunter’s a freak. Saw him on Broken Skull Ranch and he destroyed everyone, and he was a lot lighter then (or at least looked like it). Love the channel!

Great video that I thoroughly enjoyed. Let’s be honest about your performance. Based on your times for your age you are an elite athlete. 3:13 for 1k row is an insane time as is a 5min mile. But that also goes to show that Hunter is an alien with not of this world performances

Wow how hard is that , I'm knackered just watching this.

I honestly think Hunter might be Borat-ing us with a satirical masterpiece of imitation and just enough exaggeration to be hard to believe, but still checks the “yes this is real life” box

Great video the guys a beast

"The quicker you go, the quicker it's over!" That's the best advice I've ever heard. If anyone says it's hurting, just say this line!

Hunter is a true freak-of-nature. I raced with him at the U.S. Championships in Chicago.

Loving this series of videos. As someone that is relatively similar in size, but nowhere near in fitness (and age), you have inspired me to get more active! Side Q - what watch band are you wearing on the ultra in this vid?
