“You will not be the oIdest person there or the slowest person there or the heaviest person there, although three of you will be”😂
I have my first HYROX next Saturday and found this video SO valuable. Thank you pal, beyond grateful. Youve got yourself a new subscriber 👊
Your previous upload got me from a 10 day slump to a 7 mile, 13.5 mile and 8 miler on subsequent days. Feeling great again
Can definitely attest to the 'look at everybody else' part. Growing up a swimmer, i started my first triathlon at 17 alongside the pros. Then while i was putting on socks and cycling shorts, every other competitor overtook me with theit pointy helmets. Didnt see anyone else the rest of the event, and they'd packed up the finish line by the time i finished 😅 I was so embarassed. ...anyway, never be consumed by where you are to anyone else in your start group. Turns out i finished in the top 25%.
I am 54 and 45lbs overweight. Which is depressing considering I ran a marathon in 2017. I am now determined to run a half marathon on my 55th birthday in May despite not running for at least 4 years. Wish I had someone to film the process. Maybe I will try myself. I really enjoy your videos. Thank you for the inspiration.
Nice, where are you running your marathon?
Lets Go!
Good luck!
Hello John, I cannot DM you directly, but I would like to discuss how I can help you with weight loss and getting ready for your marathon. How can we get to have a chat?
I am 52, endurance athlete (not to Marks caliber) but I have been where you are and trying to drop weight while training for a medium to long distance event comes with challenges. While on the face of it, a race seems like a good motivator, statistically you will gain back after the event. Ask me how I know, I have years of data to show lol. Also, running heavy, especially at our age, is hard on our body, especially the knees. My advice, find a different mindset. Like “I want to be in shape to be able to start training for an event. When I finally turned the corner and stopped being. “The worlds fattest endurance athlete” is when the “ability” was more important than an event. I love cycling and when I am not fit, I can’t enjoy it as much. The feeling of hitting a hill hard and at the top thinking “omg I can do that at 52” is a different mindset, and more sustainable than finishing an event. Best of luck to you!
Awesome advice. Thanks, Mark. The best, most sensible, grounding, realistic tips I have seen. Doing my first HYROX in Melbourne next Saturday. I am 55yo and used to be that skinny distance runner but I have focussed on all the other exercises over the last 6 months and completely changed my body shape. I love it.
Great advice as always, heel lock something I hadn't considered for Sled push but 100% utilising that for training and event in Brum. Keep up the good work
Thanks for taking the time to make such a great video. We too have signed up because of your videos. Looking forward to London in November 😱
The way you share your knowledge with regular drops of humour is just brilliant - "always happy to answer your questions, unless you're in my age group" 😂. I must have watched this vid three times (before my first hyrox in Nov) and pick up something new every time. Thank you 🙌
Great guide Mark, signed up for my 1st Hyrox in Birmingham and will be using many of the tips you mention here, thanks.
Thanks - I have my first race coming up and this is helpful!
This was the video I was looking for…tips and debrief from a regular participant. I have been on the fence about signing up for my first event as a regular gym goer…your video gave me what I needed to sign up knowing I what to expect and I can get through it - Thanks so much!
Excellent video - thanks Mark. Doing Hyrox Sydney in August and these tips are invaluable (especially tip 4 re water)
Once again, brilliant video and advice
6:25 - wait… there’s calories in toothpaste?!?!?!
Great Video! I’ve got my first Hyrox in London November 19th I’m so excited!
Came for the tips, stayed for the one liners!
Thanks, Mark. Looking forward to my first Hyrox in Birmingham in October!
Ditto this ^^. I'm also doing my first Hyrox in October in Birmingham after finding about Hyrox on this channel. I might be all three 🤣🤣
Yep, same here! First Hyrox in Birmingham after watching Marks channel. Most people still have never heard of it so they should probably pay Mark for advertising 😀 Great tips for a newbie so thank you!
Doing my first in birmingham with a mate of mine, it will be his first too
Thanks for this Martin. I signed up to this years London event so this is super helpful
Love the humour. Thanks for the hints!
Thanks for another great video!
Thank you! Really helpful 🙏🏻
You are soooooo funny. I never want your videos to finish 😄
My partner and I signed up for the mixed doubles as our first in Hamburg this November, just for fun, after stumbling across your channel. He’s an all-round sporty generalist, and I’m a devout distance athlete. In other words, he’ll be fine, and I’m probably going to end up a seize-y, crampy mess of forgotten high-intensity anaerobic training. But I’m looking forward to it. If nothing else, I’ve enjoyed the variety it’s brought to my training!
Good luck for the 100km!!
Another brilliant and motivating post. Cheers. M.
All the best for the 100K today! I would go as far as to say that these 10 tips are valid for every conpetition event, be it Hyrox, a running event or a triathlon. For me it's "preparation wins battles, not bravery"😉 I feel most confident when I know my gear is 100% working and in place. Then I walk through the location and almost enter a meditative state. My wife is completely different. For her, it's enough to be at the location 15 minutes before the starting signal, drop off her sports bag and then go straight to the start section 😉 No seconds wasted
love your humour! and this video made me less anxious for the upcoming hyrox!
Great content as always! My favourite fitness RUclipsr by far. I’m very much the same, I like to be able to do a bit of everything and focus my training onto the specific event a few months before. Currently training for my first marathon around kielder then after that it’s time to focus on hyrox for January! Keep up the good work 👍🏼
My wife and I are about to book our first Hyrox event, and this was brilliant information, thanks Mark! We're really excited to have something to focus on, and train for together. Love your tongue-in-cheek jokes, too 😉
Going to watch the London Hyrox today, Nov 19th, with a view to compete there next April. Your excellent video will give me a good insight into the event as a spectator and an athlete. Point no.10 was well balanced. Thanks for doing this Mark.
Great video Mark very helpful video for first timer
Got my sub just on that basis 🎉
Oh my gosh, I am listening while running and almost peed my pants laughing multiple times. Best tips ever!!!
This was an excellent video prep for Hyrox!
I have my first HYROX this coming Sunday (5th May), thanks for the tips & tricks! Can't wait to get started! Not looking forward to the sweaty commute home 😆
"And somebody shout: you look so young". I love you jokes :)
Thanks for smile on my face on Monday!
Nice one Mark!!
solid advice - thanks.
First timer, needed this
Thank you so much. I will be starting in New York in June 23 for the first time. Besides the water bottle I am trying to do all you said.
This made me laugh. Some very dry delivery of some funny lines!! And helpful too. 🙌
Thanks for the video Mark, first Hyrox coming up in Singapore!
Great video... cant wait for my first Hyrox!
Love it, hope i can see you in Barcelona in March, its gonna be my first, but you dont have to worry about me, Im 53 and a Crossfiter, no threath at all!!
Break that 15 hour goal on the 100Km run! Get after it Mark. It’s who you are. Good advice for Hyrox.
All the best with the 100km Legend! Happy pacing!
Nice video. I have some friends doing hyrox events regularly. I didn't think I was fit enough, but I might give a now.
I love the CrossFit jabs. This is a really cool video. I'm a trainer and a long distance runner.
these tips are the business for anyone that's not experienced in competitions. Nice job.
" Unless he's a CrossFit-er" Insert Michael Jordan "I took that personally!!!"
Excellent info.
I plan on being at least the 2nd person to have a water pack when I do Manchester in January 😀
My first one…can’t wait, and my gym has as recently as last week become affiliated with hyrox so that’ll be handy for prepping!
Mark really been enjoying watching your videos about Hyrox and learing about it. Hyrox as far as i can tell has not come to Australia yet. Make's me wish i had some money to bring it here. Anyway. Keep up the great work look forward to watching how you go and of course your continued cycling on zwift. I am a runner on zwift. Will do we need someone to give you a treadmill to review to get you running on zwift as well. Or do you like running out side more.
Good man delivering with humour ✅
Looks like fun!
Was just about to ask your advice then realised we will be in the same age group at London in November so thought better of it as don't want to trip over my laces. Joking aside great video and some really good advice. Looking forward to my 1st Hyrox event in November.
See you there!
lots of services and truck parks have showers too, probably worth checking if they're open beforehand
Your mix and match band on your Garmin makes it look like an 1980s Swatch. Ah, sweet memories.
Looking forward to Birmingham in a couple of weeks time! No idea on time so going full send from lap one and see what happens 🤣
Great video
My first Hyrox next month - this was invaluable thank you ❤
How did you go?
Love this haha!
Just signed up for London May 2023. Can’t wait!
Haha!! That comment at 11:09 almost made me spit out my coffee!!
Thanks Mark. With the previous videos about Hyrox, I assumed it was a UK thing. But today I made the effort and went to the website, and surprise surprise, it's happening in many countries, including Germany. Now, I'm tempted for a debut in Frankfut on Dec 10.
It was invented in Germany ! 😁
See you there ;-)
Good luck with the TPC today, Mark. Thames Path Challenge is flat, sign up for the Jurassic Coast challenge next year.... beautiful scenery and tough course
Brilliant , very witty
“I sucked what I needed, when I needed it” - I know a few girls who live life with that approach too Mark 😂
First hyrox next month. Very helpful info!! Doing something the first time can be nerve wracking.
Best tip for your first time is to arrive, and just take 5/10 minutes carefully watching all the runners going past. You will fast realise that it is not all jacked athletes and there are a lot of normal people.
Great stuff. No matter what the event, I always take a water pack with me.
First one this May
Great video, thanks Mark 🙌🙌
Superb advice for first timers like me. Even if I don't ever do an event I can now talk a good Hyrox in the Squat Rack area 🤣
Thanks for the video - I’m doing a Hyrox in Melbourne in about 4 weeks. Aim is to just finish. Already wasted 1.5 weeks with the flu!
The humor and jokes are ultra-quality Mark 😂 "counting calories in toothpaste"
prediction- 1 million subs jul 2024. keep up the amazing clips, mate
Great video Mark, 1st time finding Hyrox! How do they decide which weight you should be pushing/pulling (sled) or the kettlebell weight for the farmers carry?
I will never do this event but that was a superb one-liner in the opening seconds.
😂 thanks.
All the best for the 100km Mark 👍
I signed up for Hyrox Houston, Feb 25. Your video is very helpful. You talk about hydration, how about nutrition? If this takes me 90-120 minutes (as I am guessing it will), I think I'm going to want gels or something simple to eat.
😂😂😂😂😂 nailed it!
Going to my first HYROX in November, the original Hamburg event. Already nervous about it 😂
Thanks for the tips. None related but curious how you got videos of yourself during the event.
My wife films - and when she runs with me in the doubles, one of my kids films.
“For me it’s the skinny runner on the sled” 😂
"You might be all three..." I'm trying to imagine a 70 year old 30st man trying Hyrox.
This is literally my target for my one. Anything better than that would be a win for me
Well done mate! Love the balance in mentality you practice and the fitness to go along without. Solid channel. Cheers.
On the topic of running a wrong number of laps, I participated in my first hyrox race last year as a relay. We were 5 teams that were wrongly sent off on an extra round of running due to miscommunication between the officials themselves. Counting laps on your own usually isn't too bad, especially as a relay
Thank you Mark!
Is it possible to come early to watch the previous events? More to see how it works, not to look at muscle-bound men, promise.
Mark, have you tried using a belt instead of the vest ? I use a Salomon Pulse belt for runs up to 2 hours. Holds a 500ml soft flask, gels a phone and a light jacket which you don't need for hyrox but now you know lol. I find it much cooler than wearing a vest, heat wise not I'm too cool for school cool
Got Hyrox Manchester in Jan 23....this vid is needed!!!!!!!!!!!!!
How much of your training do you spend in zone 2 Mark? What's your opinion on Peter Attia's longevity focus?
On the wall balls can you opt to have the box to use for depth or do you get given it if you’ve missed reps?
Hi Mark, any Live chats in the work? Would be nice to be able to pick your brain on a few fitness related topics
Thank you so much for this helpful video! I am trying to get the courage to run the Hyrox In NY... Wondering if someone can tell me what time the races start? Can you somewhat start at your own time that morning? Hearing it's very hot knocked me back a few pegs😢 I hope there's some air on.
Just signed up!
Hi Mark ..What trainers are you using for these events ..Thanks
Keep on working hard Mark!!
Dude i’m 54 years old and you got me addicted before I even did my first hyrox event (Rotterdam, April 2024). 😂💪🏼👍🇳🇱
I'm in my early 40s and run 3x a week and I still run at 7 minute/km. I just CANNOT seem to get my heartrate down. I really want to get into this as a good friend does it in his 50s and is in fantastic shape.
Hi Mark,
One question;
I have a Garmin Epix Gen2, which activity is best for the HYROX?
I was thinking about obstacle running myself, which one do you recommend?
Thanks, and great tips!
Hi Mark. Another great video which really helps me prepare for my first Hyrox event. I'm keen on your water pack tip but my biggest problem is sweat. I'll easily completely soak through 2 tops during a 1hr training session. So ideally I would look to swap tops during the actual event (assuming that's allowed/possible) but I can't see that happening whilst wearing a water pack. Do you think I should just take the wet discomfort as a trade off for better water supply?
Take the discomfort and drip. 😁
Very funny 🤣 👍🏼👍🏼
Mark looking for shoe recommendations for Hyrox. Thoughts?
That Crossfit clip though 🤣🤣🤣
