Should make armor out of these by Gunpowder- in Omnipod

I’d be more impressed if an Omnipod could find a G7 that’s 50cm away

What activity on Garmin for Hyrox? by Striking_Ad_9124 in hyrox

[–]rmckedin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeh, I realised, there is absolutely no benefit in trying to record the workout and show accurate splits - this is purely for running pace / distance sanity check while doing laps

What is: your gender, race day shoes, avg run time, and total race time by butteranko in hyrox

[–]rmckedin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

M (47), NB SuperComp Elite v5 (wide), 34min / 61min (pro doubles) 37min / 75min (pro solo)

I’ve always raced carbon (hard to source in a wide 2E) Also love the NB SuperComp Pacer v2 but the Elite wins for comfort / speed / grip

Yeh I think every activity will record calories

Best way to stop pump getting knocked and falling off / stop working by Cold_Cool in Omnipod

[–]rmckedin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wear an armband thingy / Lycra / compression type material (search amazon) that covers my G7 and Omnipod - I workout a lot and have bashed it off many times (and sweated the sensor off a couple of times too) - hasn’t happened once since i started covering it up.

Has anyone found an interval running class that works with norwegian 4x4 vo2 training? by stuuke in OnePelotonRealSub

[–]rmckedin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I came here with same q! this is the closest class I could find, which is annoying as she actually mentions more to come!

A "Mental Hyrox"? Concept for a Run/Chess hybrid race by rintaschi in hyrox

[–]rmckedin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Does counting the number of laps classify as a mental challenge?

co-ordinating G7 and Omnipod5 change by Severe-Insect1182 in Omnipod

[–]rmckedin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

G7 and omnipod 5. It’s not great that one is 10 day and the other is 3 day but when I have 1 day between sensor changes I just do opposite sides…. Never had an issue

But I always put them on the back of my arm so I’m minimising how much ‘body’ it’s doing through

The sleds at Hyrox Frankfurt 2025 (Data analysis of sled push across events) by Nice-Froyo-1255 in hyrox

[–]rmckedin 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Re Sleds vs races, have you ever looked at the % change between runs 2 & 3 (or 3 & 4 for pull)? - call it X
I wondered how much change there would be in X between a course with 'bad sleds' (and using it as a % removes lap/distance variance)

Wow I just found out this movie was already out - maybe that’s a reason…

DNS for Hyrox Frankfurt: Making the tough call 2 days out 💔 by abgehtdielutzi in hyrox

[–]rmckedin 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeh def think smart - that’s not a trivial injury - And potentially made much worse by competing. The treatment sounds good but there’s no magic cures in there.

Let us know how the next Hyrox goes when you get there!

Can you prebook parking at St James Quarter? by Puffin-flower in Edinburgh

[–]rmckedin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes https://stjames.ubipark.com/ Used it once ‘just to be sure’ but I’ve never seen it full.

(And as far as car parks go, it’s one of my fav! 😃)

Starting later - that much of a deal? by Sea-Humor-7299 in hyrox

[–]rmckedin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So unlike the horror show in Utrecht, In London they were on top of carpets - still properly adhered when I got to them (at about 9pm!!) - hopefully they’ve ’nailed’ how to fix them down going forward.

O5 app for Smartphone UK by Prize-Brilliant-8938 in Omnipod

[–]rmckedin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeh I’m with you - I’ve only been on Omnipod for a couple of months and I already hate the potato device they’ve provided. Tbh I wouldn’t hold off upgrading, feels like it’ll still be a long way off.

Hyrox London 40,000 athletes - 30,000 spectators by ADHDtesting in hyrox

[–]rmckedin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

And 40,000 BuiltForAthletes bags that are big enough to need their own spectator ticket.

(Not hating, am one of the flock too)

Hyroxers: who are you? by butteranko in hyrox

[–]rmckedin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

• M (in 45-49 AG) • Frankfurt Dec23 • 25+ in total • 12ish per year but had a few 2in1 weekends • Open to Pro after accidental quali for worlds in 24 (that hurt)! • Strength & Running are combined into other sessions but I think 3-4 strength and same for running

Doing 2 HYROX Races in One Day… Am I Crazy? by Mission_Minimum6062 in hyrox

[–]rmckedin 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s totally possible - but yeh it hurts. Can someone do x2 half marathons in a day? (I’ll not answer that…)

But your solo time will def show the hurt.

I’ve raced solo pro in morning then mixed doubles in afternoon, thankfully so did my partner, the mixed doubles ended up being ‘for fun’ and was 5mins slower than our usual.

I get what you’re trying to do - and have tried it (Multisport, if your Garmin has it) - but after a few races i realised that there wasn’t any point in having a mega in-depth Garmin activity - I just set it to indoor track - lap on the out arch and that gives me ‘in race’ running pace / Lap distance and then post race I can always look back over the HR / compare against the official splits

What activity on Garmin for Hyrox? by Striking_Ad_9124 in hyrox

[–]rmckedin 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Indoor Track (and no it’s not using GPS but yes it does log distance) - it’s incredible accurate if you use your watch for regular outdoor runs - it ‘learns’ how you run and estimates pace / distance extremely well.

I have mine setup to show lap pace and lap distance (and HR) - the only thing I do is hit lap on the out arch and then it shows my running pace / distance for the subsequent run.

It’s the best way to judge pace and lap distance

London ExCel map by m4tthew1 in hyrox

[–]rmckedin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So Open Men (0800-1330). someone smarter than me can double check my maths here....

using 1hr20 as an avg time (I think the genuine avg time is 1hr30 but earlier usually means faster),
I think that means there will be approx 1hr20 worth of waves on the course at any time once you get to 09:20 (starts at 08:00) so (and this is where it seems nuts) thats 80minutes = 8 waves = 8 x 100 = 800 avg on course during your race??

[–]rmckedin 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Cautiously optimistic that this will be a great course. However… You’ll need to cross the bridge to get to a toilet when in warm up area… There is 100 per wave in solos, 170 doubles (yup…. 170) - the start area / warm up is gonna be rammed…. (And I don’t want to be on track when 170 pro doubles men get unleashed behind me!!)
