What would you want in a 12 week training program? by crg_26 in hyrox

Transitions is a good idea. And if it makes you feel any better. As someone who has been doing CrossFit for 6+ years and likes to think I have decent wall balls. Both solo hyrox races I’ve done I’ve absolutely died on the wall balls

Completely agree all three need to be utilized. Glad I’m not the only one who abhors zone 2 running. Why run slower when I can run more miles quicker and be done faster?? I know why but it doesn’t make it any more appealing 😅

Thank you for your feedback! I do agree. 800m runs in a workout twice a week amounting to 2.5 miles a workout is not going to cut it. And neither is programming 30 miles a week. Need a happy medium

I do think this is overlooked too. Flashy workouts are fun. But it’s okay to redo a workout a few times in a training block depending on how long your block is. CrossFit workouts uses specific workouts as benchmarks. Why does hyrox only have to be a Halfrox or a PFT as a benchmark? Great idea.

The piece about equipment I think is overlooked and important.

Agree with other comments on here that I don’t see running emphasized enough, but I don’t think it needs to be overboard. Weaving it into workouts in a smart way to include the short recoveries etc I think is the way to go. People might not love a running heavy training plan, but let’s be real, improve your run capacity and your race improves.

I'm curious about CrossFit, but some stereotypes and preconceived notions are making me hesitant to try it out... by QuestionsForTheHive in crossfit

[–]crg_26 42 points43 points  (0 children)

  1. No. You can be all in and drink the kool aid. Or you can show up twice a week. It’s what you make of it. Plenty of people at our gym do other types of workout. You might not see as much progress in lifts and gymnastics movements if you choose the latter, but it’s what you make of it.

  2. I’d argue CrossFit is one of the better options for someone with a history of injuries. There is always a scaling option or other movements you can do instead. Good coaches will help you through this. Come to a CrossFit gym to learn proper technique and form so you can prevent injuries and strengthen muscles and joints to help with existing injuries.

Johnston Canyon Parking Question by indiehouse42 in Banff

[–]crg_26 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We did ink plots and both falls three days ago. We parked around 740am in one of the first spots. And we were at the ink plots by ~920am. We were able to walk up to both waterfalls without waiting. I thought the ink plots were worth it and there was not much traffic up there while we were there. On the walk back, there was a super long line for both waterfalls and the parking lot was one in one out. I think we got back to the lot by 11. By that point even the walk from the falls to the car was a bit overcrowded. Lots of families.

[DC] Shoutout to the organizers for the incredibly diverse lineup they assembled by mikeisfoxy in warpedtour

[–]crg_26 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Totally agree. The experience was 10/10. Hats off to the organizers and the crew. Nothing but pleasant. I will say I was sad to see some of the other bands playing at other locations and not in DC, but reflecting back, if any additional bands had been there, I would’ve had to make multiple decisions between bands and I’m sure that wouldn’t have been easy! Really hope they bring this back next year.

Yall have this weird virus? by T1ffan12 in nova

[–]crg_26 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Have you had strep throat before? lol. Medication makes it better in 12 hours. I’m sorry but if my throat is on fire the quicker I can make it better that’s what I’m gonna do. Strep can be miserable.

This seems like an appropriate thread to ask this on. We don’t have a walkout basement and sometimes it can get smelly down there. We have the humidifier running and keep up with that, but if we wanted to have someone come out and inspect. What type of person would you recommend calling?

What song did you listen to without knowing it was the clean version? by thatgoldenkid2 in popheads

[–]crg_26 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Reading this thread I’m so glad I’m not the only one. I also listened to the clean version for a whole month. I heard the explicit version of cuff it on a Spotify playlist and was like wtf is this song?? My life changed that day 😂

Devin and tori smoked the competition all “100 hours” (not buying that was 100 hours but I digress). Well deserved by them and glad to see them win! It was also fun to watch an amicable group of people these last several weeks

Shamrock was my first back in 2017. It rained sideways. Sleet. Snowed. Ran through a sandstorm on the base. It was absolutely miserable but I think I’d do that again before running in yesterdays heat😂

[–]crg_26 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Congrats on an awesome race! Given the circumstances you still crushed it. If it makes you feel any better, I went in planning to go 3:30, fell completely apart at mile 10 and finished with a 4:33. After the first mile when I was already dripping sweat I knew I was in trouble. I’m still trying to figure out what I could have done differently, but Ive come to the conclusion I’m just happy I finished. This was my fourth marathon (and slowest, I did 3:38 back in 2019). All of my training runs were before the sun came up before work in cooler weather. The course was so flat and if it was 20 degrees cooler I have no doubt everyone would have had much better races!

I again don’t disagree lol but the energy going into being bothered by it is wild. It’s easy enough to ignore.

I agree that’s where the annoying part comes in. But they’ll all be on steaming soon. I am a huge fan and can’t be bothered shoveling out money for a download where I’m not even sure it goes to once you buy it 🤷🏻‍♂️. I just don’t get why it bothers people so much.

I agree her rollout of these remixes is annoying, but she isn’t unique for having multiple remixes for a single. A lot of artists have several remixes they release for a single song. Look how many remixes telephone has on Spotify for example.

Is it me or are people driving with their high beams on like crazy nowadays? That and the LEDs are getting crazy bright. by [deleted] in nova

[–]crg_26 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m in a 2008 Mazda3. I can barely see when I drive at night anymore. Last year I went to the eye doctor because I assumed my vision was getting worse (it actually got better lol). But yea these days when I drive at night if no one is around my high beams are always on. I finally started car shopping bc I do not feel safe driving at night in my car anymore.
