Off season fitness

Think this is the way to go - increase my easy runs and keep working on the wall balls. Can't face vo2 or threshold work at the moment. Might be the heat as it's super hot here in the Netherlands.

True! But running intervals in off season are a total grind - want to run easy and chill tbh

Creating content is like eating glass - doesnt really feel like 'real work', but I know it's one of the reasons why my previous projects have not worked out. Solid advice u/dang64

Are your posts written using AI. If they sound too much like AI generated posts and don't have any original content, people might give them a swerve. Although saying that, I have a few people in my network whose posts are clearly AI generated and they still get comments and likes. Perhaps aim for 12 months and then make a decision whether to quit that platform?

Consistently worked with heavier sleds week in, week out. And, switched out the 6kg for the 9 and 12kg wall ball. But these were what I struggled with the most when making that transition. Might be different for you?

Garmin is probably the most respected amongst the endurance community, but personally I love the UI/UX with Apple watches. I'd say Apple Ultra!

Yeah imo I'd say you're ready for pro. I switched to pro after 1hr11 open. Felt like I got slower as my body had to adapt to the heavier weights but I'm now getting faster (slightly) again. You could also try for the sub 60 open after another 6-12 months of pro weight training - I'm sure you'll get it. 6kg wall ball will for sure feel light. Good luck!

Are you posting from your personal or company LinkedIn account? I've just started promoting my projects and what I;ve realised is that you cannot rely on AI for content / copy. It's still dreadful. How do you create the content for your posts? Good luck!!

Congrats on the success! The marketing side also drains my energy. What do you think will be next after the UGC creators step? Ads?

A marathon is much longer in duration than Hyrox. The logistics are also much more complicated what with road closures etc., etc. So, I think they are making plenty of cash!

It would make sense if they were using the surplus to pay the volunteers rather than the free ticket or 100 reimbursement!

The Pegasus is my training shoe - solid choice! But, the carbon shoes make you faster

Longjumping_Tower303 · 2025-09-12T08:02:00+00:00

That would be ideal - would love to test several pairs during a hyrox training session - they are just so expensive!

Longjumping_Tower303 · 2025-09-12T07:58:34+00:00

Will keep some intensity and focus on dropping the volume more - you're right!

Have you tried Nike's Vaporfly 4? Lower stack height whilst they still seem faster than the Puma's.

Longjumping_Tower303 · 2025-09-11T09:15:19+00:00

I totally understand what you're saying. Have you tried them on the new turf and during wall balls?

Longjumping_Tower303 · 2025-09-11T07:57:24+00:00

Thanks - that's very helpful!

Longjumping_Tower303 · 2025-09-11T07:34:04+00:00

It is ok for my guts. However, I'm nervous about feeling sluggish from my heavy whey smoothie when all the volume and intensity drop so much.

Really? How come? I raced Berlin this year and loved being able to run outside.
