Thank you 💪💪

1. Really enjoyed your approach to analysing your results on such a level. 2. The music was too loud/too far forward in the mix (I’d have preferred none, but that’s me…), it was a little distracting. 3. Strong advice given on the difference from over-weighted training and comp weight training. Really good! Great progress too btw! 💪

Awesome!! Best of luck with your first race! Give it your best shot and treat it as a benchmark. I'm sure you'll sign straight up for another one haha

Great video! found it useful and could relate to it. Amazing improvements you’ve made on some of those stations in particular 😮 Got my first Hyrox in London in November and recently started a training programme for that. Will be taking some of your tips and advice on board for sure!

Great video. I have entered Dublin my home town then 5 weeks later Stockholm. I have changed my training. Two proper hyrox sessions per week, hard on tuesday (compromised run) and mix mixed session on Saturday. I also push and pull a tyre. Lost of easy runs I have have taken inspiration from your burpee improvement

Very informative, thank you for that and stay in the fight. Just a few thoughts on rowing and wall balls. With better rowing technique you could probably get a little faster, but more importantly, use a lot less energy for the same time. There are super many videos on how to row properly, so just a few ideas: don't go so far forward with the carriage, only so far that the knee angle is still almost 90 degrees and the rail legs are still almost vertical. Put the grip further out. Use the upper body much more, in the front about 1-2 o'clock, in the back about 10-11 o'clock (from the angle), so take more power from the hips. Timing should be such that you need a little longer to the front (recovery) than to the back (drive). With the wallballs, try to bring your hands a little more under the ball when catching it and not completely to the side, so you need less power for the next throw and the ball is a little higher, which also saves power and is more advantageous.

Thanks for the pointers! I've played with lots of techniques with rowing and have been working on my lower back mobility and strength to feel more confident in the final part of the stroke. I also think my main issue is mindset once I hit the station - I'm always taking it more for recovery, which is usually much needed, but I need to shift my approach - like I did with the burpees. 💪

great achievement , my first hyrox alone was last january in Maastricht in a time of 1:23:48 ( age-group 55-59) , i am a ocr runner but this was by far the hardest thing i ever did . Did several mixed hyrox, but alone was something else . I am going to stop with ocr en 100 % focus on Hyrox , hopefully i can cut my time with 15 minutes. And yes my hardest station was wall balls (7:34) , lunges (6:59) and BBJ (5:31) , going to do lots of compromised running to start

That's awesome!! I think the focus definitely helps, but also good to have other areas of interest so you don't get burnt out. You'll do well with lunges and wall balls by doing more lunges, but this has a trade off as it makes running more difficult. I'm yet to figure the Hyrox running thing out but I have a feeling it's about getting faster at tempo effort. Best of luck with your training and journey

Nice round up and of course progress. Are you running your laps at lactate threshold or trying to stay more tempo/zone 3?

@NikRunTheHills

Жыл бұрын

Thanks mate! Ideally threshold but it seems threshold speed gets lower with lactate levels from the stations. So it's more like tempo, haven't quite figured out the running part yet as my laps are all over the place. Seems like most of the pros and up having positive splits so maybe I'm pacing myself too much in the beginning rather than getting time in the bank! Will test some different strategies in simulations in the coming months

Comment for the algo! 😀😀😀
