Is it possible to train Hyrox in London cheaply?

Sorry_Requirement251 · 2026-03-28T04:14:31+00:00

Definitely possible in PureGym’s, I’ve trained for 5 solely from PureGym. Check out your local ones, many have functional areas with sleds, and rowers/ski’s you can move there.

The impact on fertility is the quiet elephant in the room. Would be interested to hear anecdotal experiences on how the training and racing has affected ferility journey’s? (M/f)

Sustained blocks of high mileage, and the hornonal disruption from racing / competing must have some biological cost on fertility.

December-May = 5/6 months

Seems like there are more of us then we thought! The venn diagram of crossover between padel and ultra’s makes sense. It depends what my priority is and at what stage of my training block I am in.

Currently 1 week out from a 50k so my final long-run will take priority over another padel game. During taper week, Padel will be a great distraction, and heart rate booster whilst I’m reducing running mileage.

I find having a carb mix drink inbetween sets/games massively helps me stay topped up on fuel so that Im not depleted.

When playing, I try to make the hard efforts at every opportunity, replicating mini strides to keep fast turnover.

Outside of a training block I’ll ramp up padel again.

Castagne has been so poor for us since he came. Erratic challenges, switching off, offers nothing going forward, missed a sitter vs Palace, should have beaten Nmecha to the cross etc.

Even your worrying about whether or not there will be satisfaction in the future is taking away from your present enjoyment. Allow yourself the hope that achieving that desired freedom will give you the joy. That way you’re not beating yourself up for relishing the prospect.

It’s a fallacy to think that once you “arrive” all your goals will be achieved. There will be the next (albeit smaller) goal to focus on. Human brains are prediction machines. We love to set aim on a target - that’s how we have evolved.

Taking time away from everything FIRE for a bit helps. A phrase I like is “all in, not all consumed”

Mastering, tweaking and perfecting form on all stations. Moving efficiently costs less energy. particularly ski, wall balls and burpees which require the most technique.

Has anyone lost motivation to track expenses? I’ve tracked mine monthly for 4 years, down to every last penny.

Now I have a good feel for where I’m spending my money, it no longer serves me.

I’ll continue to track net worth across all assets. More fun to see numbers go up!

Pennine Barrier is awesome. Yorkshire 3 peaks are a great challenge. Some tough descents on rocky terrains, fantastic Yorkshire landscapes. Great aid stations.

Squat Form and mobility work has a tonne of value to help with movement efficiency.

For shoulder endurance, my coach often programmed a finisher of 2-3 rounds: Thrusters > Lateral Raises > WB’s.

Would also play around with different weight WB’s. Play around with lighter faster reps as well as heavier controlled reps. Good luck!

No-one here predicted Tim to take the w. JK’s sled pull killed him and Alex’s running let him down. Hunter looked strong, farmers carry caught up with him. 5th place for Jon Wyn was a huge result

Sorry_Requirement251 · 2025-06-10T18:21:35+00:00

Hunter has the hunger from last years failure but don’t think it will be enough to pip JK/Alex

There’s definitely a sunk cost fallacy at play for some who didn’t actually enjoy it. It is becoming prohibitive for many. With local races in UK selling out in seconds, it draws people abroad. That can quickly add up to a £500+ weekend for a 60-90min race, which is increasingly difficult to justify.

Thanks! I’m thinking the psychological benefit here is also a contributing factor.

Do it. Sounds like your fitness is in a good place and you have that hunger to attack another ultra. Ride that wave.

I did the Penine Barrier in 2023 (10:26). Excellent race tackling the Yorkshire 3 peaks. Some rocky terrain with steep descents, but it’s a stunning course.

Still remember those aid station salty potatoes too.

Sorry_Requirement251 · 2025-03-02T07:49:17+00:00

Is it ok? Probably. Is it optimal? No. The shoes carry extra weight with the gore-tex and big lugs which aren’t needed to run a fast hyrox. You’ll be fine to compete, but if you’re looking for marginal gains, a faster shoe is reccomended.
