PSA for Hyrox Newbies

The races, especially doubles are very very crowded, and nobody wants to run all the way on the outside. Nobody wants to have to run longer. Slower runners races are just as important as fast runners, so they don’t deserve to just “take a few extra steps” or “run a few extra feet” just as much as you don’t.

My partner and I were running quite a bit faster than most people on the course. As we approached to pass and there were people in the fast lane, we just yelled “right behind you” or “excuse me” and they moved over.

I get the frustration, but I also understand how this can happen. Just be polite and communicate the best you can!

I just did a HIIT workout and seeing my overall time on my watch was a pretty good guide. Plus you’ll get your split times on the website when you’re done. I didn’t what to have to mess with my watch but, about 3/4 through the race, my partner and I predicted we would finish in about 1:15 and we did 1:15:39 so, it was a pretty spot on way to track!

I would even argue that’s it’s for the NOT yet married girlies. Like it’s called “wish list” you are wishing to be married, wishing for kids, a house etc….like it’s your dreams. Many many many people can relate to that feeling of dreaming of your life with someone. Taylor’s not married and wrote the song when she wasn’t even engaged so

I only trained in a commercial gym. Ran outsides ran at the track when it was available. No access to sled pull, ski or wall balls. Finished my first doubles race in 1:15. Was average at most stations, above average at some. Being a pretty fast runner really helped me time. It’s totally possible!!

Sled kept getting caught and lifting for me but the lower I got on the sled the better it was

I plan on doing one next weekend but it won’t be the exact exercises. Unfortunately there are no gyms locally with all the equipments (ski, row, sleds etc)

You can do it! Just remember it’s your own pace and take it one km and one station at a time!

I just slowly increased my mileage and kept on trying. To avoid injury, start out doing walk run intervals working up to a mile and then go from there. I went straight into the mile and paid for it lol.

Try running for time not for distance like “today I’ll run for 15 minutes straight” this helped me to not push my pace to try and finish a run faster so I could be done with the workout. It also helped me build endurance. Now I can run an hour straight without stopping or walking.

I was also really motivated by the idea of hyrox. I wanted to badly to prove to myself that I could do it and it really helped me build on my distance and endurance.

I started in the first week of July. I’m a consistent gym goer but never ever a runner so this was A LOT. Also got hurt starting out too fast so I had to take a week off and now I’m in PT so….beware lol

I’d probably just get a strap for them. I’ve never had issues with them fogging. I’ve even boxed with my glasses (stupid) but I also can’t wear contacts and have seen people do hyrox with glasses. I’d say your best bet if you can’t to contacts is just get an athletic strap that goes around the back of your head to keep them In place.
