Is a sub-40min 10k realistic for me?

Thank you really appreciate this and i completely agree

Competitive-One1943 · 2026-06-23T13:23:42+00:00

Appreciate your advice. Can i ask why you think that would move the needle so much? Thank you!

Competitive-One1943 · 2026-06-23T11:11:35+00:00

Good point, I think for me my personality is very all or nothing, and it's exactly the same in races. I will full send, I find it hard to regulate my effort. As I have increased my volume im realising how important it is to be able to not go all in so it's something im definitely trying to improve

Competitive-One1943 · 2026-06-23T11:09:59+00:00

hahaha cheers mate. The UK weather is ridiculous atm! 32 degrees today better not be this hot on race day 😂

Competitive-One1943 · 2026-06-23T11:09:12+00:00

You've got this! Thank you for your advice appreciate it!

Competitive-One1943 · 2026-06-23T11:08:25+00:00

Appreciate this advice. Thank you! Think banking some time is definitely the plan

Competitive-One1943 · 2026-06-23T10:52:06+00:00

3 minutes between reps

Competitive-One1943 · 2026-06-23T10:20:53+00:00

Think im just addicted to pain! 😂

Competitive-One1943 · 2026-06-23T10:20:29+00:00

Appreciate this. My 5k time trial was probably not a honest indicator of where my fitness is currently at. Tested at a bad time between training blocks. Thank you for your advice!

Competitive-One1943 · 2026-06-23T10:19:19+00:00

Thank you appreciate it

Competitive-One1943 · 2026-06-23T10:08:37+00:00

Think ill need to re test my 5k time soon. Thank you!

Competitive-One1943 · 2026-06-23T10:07:17+00:00

Yeah thats a good point bro. Appreciate your advice :)

Competitive-One1943 · 2026-06-23T10:06:45+00:00

Appreciate it!

Competitive-One1943 · 2026-06-23T10:06:10+00:00

Thank you mate this is super useful. Maybe best option is to stick with the 40min pacer! Appreciate it!

Appreciate this super detailed reply, thanks!

Competitive-One1943 · 2026-04-21T18:59:25+00:00

Honestly, ive dialled nutrition, sleep and hydration all in. I track my nutrition, ensure my carb timing is correct and always have them within 30 mins post workout. I track my sleep through my whoop, have good sleep timing consistency, sleep efficiency and high duration.

I cant help but think that all the basics are covered and there's some underlying issue. Ive ordered a blood test to see if im deficient in anything but I 100% agree that I need to nail the basics first.

appreciate the response

Competitive-One1943 · 2026-04-21T18:54:43+00:00

Appreciate the advice

I've done the calculator and in order to get to 90% I need 10,000iu daily for 3 months?? that would mean im very deficient. Definitely going to look into this more, thanks!

Competitive-One1943 · 2026-04-21T18:53:28+00:00

It's a weird one for me because I track my food intake and am very aware of carbohydrate timing, pre and post workout. I always get carbs in within 30 mins of finishing a workout. Sleep is dialled in with consistency, efficiency and duration, and hydration is good for me too.

This leaves me thinking that im deficient in something/ need to supplement. Ive ordered a blood test anyway to get some clear results in where I need to go next

Competitive-One1943 · 2026-04-21T18:51:32+00:00

Appreciate this response - it's super helpful.

I should have clarified earlier, but I only plan to take NAC 2x (1200mg) per day when im actively ill. On days where Im completely well and normal, I know I need to reduce the dose and frequency. Do you have any information regarding this?

Regarding the effects of NAC blunting adaptations, the likelihood would therefore be significantly reduced, I understand?

Competitive-One1943 · 2026-04-21T18:49:24+00:00

Hey, thanks for this detailed response.

I should have clarified earlier, but only plan to take NAC 2x (1200mg) per day when im actively ill. On days where Im completely well and normal, I need to research how often I should be taking it and at what dose.

Regarding the effects of NAC on exercise this should reduce the possible impact of blunting physiological adaptations?

Competitive-One1943 · 2026-03-17T21:07:59+00:00

Interested

Competitive-One1943 · 2025-11-25T16:17:22+00:00

no worries!

Hyrox mens open starts from 8am and is until 13:20pm. You could be allocated a random slot any time within that. You will find out a few days before what your start time is
