You’ve done the work. All those training sessions and it’s the day before your HYROX race. So all we need to do now is the shake out run which should be very controlled, super easy, conversational pace just to blow off the cobwebs. Light movement is a good way to wake up the system without anything excessive. Hydration is intentional, meals are familiar and that’s exactly how it should be. Now is not the time to experiment with new supplements or drastically change your carbo

There is a moment in every HYROX race when fitness alone is not enough. If you’re reading this and have already completed a Hyrox, you’ll understand exactly what I mean. If you haven’t, maybe this blog will give you an idea of what’s to come! High heartrate, heavy legs from the sleds, running that feels harder than normal, and potential cramping shows up. This too, is where compromised fitness shows up. When training for a HYROX race, we are not looking at it as eight fresh 1

Most athletes misunderstand threshold training. Normally, they go one of two ways about this: they either avoid it because it feels too uncomfortable, or they do all their running sessions in it because it feels more “productive”. The truth lays somewhere in between. When you improve your lactate threshold, you increase the pace or power you can hold without fully exhausting yourself. In simple terms, you become faster at the same effort. But threshold training only works wh

Alot of athletes have a tendency to believe that the only way to improve in your fitness, is if we consistently put ourselves in the pain cave that leaves us flat on our backs at the end of every session. If a session doesn’t leave you breathless, athletes will make comments such as “that was too easy”, “I think I’ll just do one more round” etc. This mindset is understandable, but it is also one of the main reasons athletes stop seeing improvements. Research into elite endura

There comes a point in training where effort alone stops being enough. You’re consistent, you show up, you keep pushing yourself but deep down, you know there’s even more in you. You think to yourself that your race times could be faster. You could maximise your strength more. Your engine could or should be better when you feel under pressure. So let me tell you this; having some direction in your training is probably the most likely necessity for you more so than work ethic.

Most people don’t give up their goals because they aren’t working hard enough. It’s normally because their training never changes. Same weights. Same runs. Same effort. Week after week. At first, it feels productive with all the sweaty sessions and laying on the floor after every single workout because you absolutely went 100% in. You keep showing up, but slowly, progress stalls. Paces stop improving, strength levels stay the same, niggles creep in, and yes, that's where the
