It’s official. Received the email from HYROX this morning. It’s funny cause 10 months ago I could barely do 3 miles running 7:30+ miles. I remember I was DYING zone 5 the whole time. Mind you this was only running 3 miles not the 5.4 miles between stations in HYROX. I thought to myself I think I can actually be decent at this and even if I’m not gonna be that good I’ll still do it anyway cause I just love the feeling of progression and waking up with purpose. HYROX gives me the purpose to train and work on myself to get better not only in fitness but as a person. It gives me discipline, structure, and accountability to become a better me. I’m going to workout everyday till I die regardless, so it might as well be chasing podiums and worlds championships. 💯 with that being said I’d like to mention my partner Jared who I met through NETWORKING at local HYROX sims. I remember thinking this kids a freak lol he’s super fit and durable under fatigue. It’s funny cause that day I was deciding whether or not I should go to that event and I’m glad I did. ✅

This ride improves three things that directly help your HYROX running:

1️⃣ Capillary density
More oxygen delivery to the working muscles.

2️⃣ Lactate clearance ability
Your body gets better at clearing lactate while moving.

3️⃣ Fat oxidation
Which spares glycogen during races.

This is why the long aerobic work is mandatory for hybrid athletes.

This got rid of my lower back pain. After running 40 miles per week and heavy sleds and weight lifting my lower back and hips were paying the price. Adding these mobility exercises 4-5x per week has strengthened the muscles around my lower back and hips. Now I’m pain free and ready. Hope these help you.
