Yes this is for Elite 15. Qualifying for worlds for age groups happens at every event. Around the top 1% of each age group / division at each event will qualify for Worlds. The actual number of spots available depends on the numbers competing at that event.

Thats not how any sport works though. People do want to see the Elites. The Olympics atthe moment are being watched because its the best of the best. Its Premier League football where the money and TV coverage goes - not Sunday league football. Watching Wimbledon isnt about watching your average club tennis players - its about the best in the world. Thats what the Elite 15 process is too - watching the best.

The money comes from the age group elite… what do you mean? The money comes from mass participation.

Yes age group brings in more money at the stadium, but no one wants to watch live coverage of average athletes racing, the Elite 15 is where the real potential is, watching the fittest Hyrox athletes on earth take each other into the deepest points of exhaustion and seeing who comes out on top, it’s an absolute spectacle

Haaaa!! Thank you!

Yes, I like the Nitro 2 Elite, its good shoe for racing. And I find the non Elite versions are a great training shoe. They have just brought out version 3 - Ive not tried the Elite version yet, just the normal, and thats great (again, I am using it for training, its probably not a racing shoe for me). Hope that helps

Hunter bringing in the $$$

Yeah, she's great, love her mindset too. Inspired by her. Thanks for watching!

🤣🤣🤣

Thanks! On the running volume thing, yeah I agree I noticed that. But its worth adding that not all the Elites are like that. I dont think, on the Womens side for example, that Megan or Lauren would describe themselves as lower volume runners, and (I cant be sure) but I dont think JK (who finished 3rd in the mens race) would either. So Alex and Sandys approach isnt necessarily a trend!

@@roxlyfe That's my sense too. Seems like Rich, Ryan Kent, and Megan are all 80k+, when they discuss their training on their pod. Hope you're able to get JK on the pod and hear more about his racing tactics, the roxzone running seemed really special.

Thanks! And no, sorry I dont. I should have asked for it but for some reason didnt think to! If I had to guess, Id say the average for the guys is around 5'10 but thats just a guess.

@@roxlyfeAlex replied to someone on Instagram last week on his height/weight - 187cm (6’2”) @ 85kg (13st 5lbs)

Yeah such a great guy, and brilliant athlete!

Im not totally sure on how much low intensity work but he's told me in a recent survey that total training hours per week is around 12 hours. Results of that survey are written up here roxlyfe.com/how-fast-and-strong-are-the-hyrox-elite-15/

@@roxlyfe Thanks for sharing. That's a great write up :)

Thanks for watching!

Thank you!

The time that someone gets in the open isnt relevant compared to your time. The places are allocated by division. So there would be X number of qualification spots in the Pro division (based on how many people have entered it). And same in the Open. Its theoretically possible though that someone in the open could be SLOWER than you and qualify, its down to how many in each division on the day, and how fast those competitors are.

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it - I agree, he's great!

The women in the video are all using Pro weights. Since these were taken, HYROX have a new equipment provider (Centr). While the total weight is the same (including sled), because the sled weight is different to what it used to be, the number / weights of the plates used has changed. That said the sleds now weigh 52kg (ish) and the total weight is 152kg, so yes they now use, I think, 4*25kg plates on the sled.

Thanks! Yeah Ive been doing the same! His other vidoes on his channel are well worth checking out too

Thanks for watching!

haaa! Not the first time Ive had that!...along with Frank Ribery, Gareth Southgate, Matt Hancock, Robbie Fowler. The list is endless (and never that complimentary haaa!)

@@roxlyfe funny, in any case you made me discover HYROX. I will look into it in Bordeaux, France

Hope it helps! ha thanks, honestly, the running was a slog for me on Saturday too. Had a hip flexor issue from about the second run so it made things tough. But I too think I can definitely benefit from Fredrik's tips.

ah, the first one is always a learning experience!! Well done for getting it done, hope you enjoyed it!

Thank you! Yeah, must admit when I listened back I thought I should have asked him about the splits. My guess is its the time they spend actually doing the station. Like rowing is an obvious one - the time the Mika data shows for your rowing time includes getting into the rower, out the rower etc as opposed to just time rowing. Same for things like ski, sled push, sled pull, etc. Depending on venues that extra time in a station can differ - a UK course with 50 sled push lanes, for example, can take longer to get in and out of than a smaller venue. And then for what he's tracking, which is the Elites, it can be even more important because they rarely have a roxzone time in the grid races, it all goes on to stations or runs.

It is a lot of splits per length times. For example, how long each length of sled push takes and how much time is spent at forced or normalized stopping points (the ends). I’ll also compare stopping/rest durations between athletes.

@@TheHybridEngine Very cool!

@@TheHybridEngine ah makes sense, interesting, thank you!

You did great! Did you get a penalty at the burpees, we couldn't quite see?

@@roxlyfe Yes, I was leading until Burpees. 3 times I needed to go back, did not understand why. I lost 5-6 places there….

@@fitfansberlin339 Ouch. A great PB though looking at the positives.

Thanks. I think the times shown for the BBJ are wrong, but there is extra time in the roxzone section afterwards. For example, you can see JK spent 01:45 in the roxzone straight after burpees. So overall its correct, and the length (I assume) was correct, but for some reason the timing chip stops timing too early in the station.

Thank you! Yes completely agree, very bright young man. Ive no doubt he'll achieve whatever he sets his mind to!

Yes, the worlds is in age groups - the only thing though to remember is (I think) there is sometimes more than 1 wave for an age group.

@@roxlyfe ah thats quite cool, and yeah a shame they are not all filmed and broadcasted. I think collectively they would get as much interest as the elite 15
