Always refreshing to hear someone on RUclips who doesn't profess to know everything. Makes the advice you feel you are able to give all the more valuable. Thanks Dan
I’m doing my first Hyrox in February in Las Vegas. I’m 47 years old. One cool feature category in Hyrox is mixed doubles (male/female). I think my wife and I may team up next year and do it together.
@ thanks Dan. I decided to do Hyrox because I seeking a new fitness challenge. It has been great. I went from doing no running, and have ramped up to 20 miles per week. I’ll let you know how it goes.
Hi all, greetings from the Netherlands, I am doing now four years Hyrox races after stopping from OCR racing. next weekend my 14th race in Frankfurt mix doubles age-group 50-59 (my age 57) , best time so far 1:06:03 now hoping under 1:03:00. As Dan metioned i am a IKKF kettlebell trainer and train mostly with kettlebells for my Hyrox races, also with my clients. Works well , also the compromised running (learned that from my OCR training), Lifting and then running . Love it
I did the Hyrox in Houston last year. I think you could definitely simplify training (just running and KB). But I think it would be worth your while to find and at least try some of the equipment. The concept2 ski erg, for instance, benefits from a bit of technique. And that sled push and pull are brutal. Dan, I don’t know what the current US schedule is, but there have been Hyrox events here. Spartan also has a series of indoor events with a similar format called DEKA.
Thank you I didn’t know anything about it but the question about using Kettlebells to prep for it. I thought it was kind of interesting. Thank you for sharing all that wonderful information with us.
In my opinion, the side rule goes from left to right with hyrox for those who prefer more running and crossfit for those prefer less, and strong man on the right as King. :D
Personally, I would avoid doing this in a gym, especially if it was air-conditioned. From my experience, you need to acclimatise to the conditions you will be in. There's no point in training in a climate controlled environment i.e.20°c low humidity conditions when you will then try and compete out doors where ambient temps and humidity changes year round. I do similar style of training for my general fitness outdoors, but, with a mix of brisk walking, body weight and kettlebells, and I can tell you the difference between doing this in cool low humidy conditions VS hot high humidity is huge even when walking between stations 😮😮 Train hard, fight easy, rain, hail, or shine (well maybe not big hail.....😂)
@DanJohnStrengthCoach Sorry if my ramblings were confusing, but basically, train in the conditions you compete in, not in an artificially regulated environment that doesn't match the location and conditions of competition

That's a good point and I will remind myself of this...

Good luck. I'm impressed that you two can team up for this...

Fantastic explanation. Thank you sir.
Thank you so much!

Never heard of this... Sounds fun! Similar to the GoRuck challenges with a competitive time element - running instead of rucking, obviously.
I know very little about it. But I thought the concept was solid.
Now it's been mentioned - kettlebells are a great way to train for Hyrox without all the other equipment.
That was the question and I thought it would be a good part of the toolkit.
👍💪
Thank you.
8000 kilometres race that’s one HELL of a race✅
My mistake has been pointed out before on this section.
Sorry Dan, always enjoy your take on things though 😊
"kilometrage" is fine (in plain french) :-)
It is, isn't it?

Not completely certain about your point, but thank you for posting this
