I always appreciate the nuance of your channel especially in regards to people at different stages of their fitness goals. A lot of other folks on here have forgotten what it's like to be an over weight beginner. I, like you, would not have been super comfortable being the center of attention at the end like that.

That looks great. I live in Tenerife and was just a gym bro but started crossfit a few months ago. Off the back of this video I literally just signed up for Spartan 10k race this Sunday. Never done one before. Thanks mate!
Great work on completing all 3 events back to back. Great showing as well. This event looks like something I’d like to try, specifically the Deka mile. As a beginner, i don’t think i could go through a Hyrox event entirely….maybe on a stretcher, but this seems more up my speed. Sadly, none scheduled for NYC anytime soon 😩
Very informative. CrossFit never appealed, too much ego, so when you described DekaStrong as "competitive circuit training" that really resonated. The running + fitness station events (Hyrox, Deka Fit) appeal much more and, ironically, fit more with the original (old school, early 2000s) goals of CrossFit (Glassman's 10 aspects of fitness, etc.).
I've been watching for Hyrox events near me in the US, but now that I know Spartan does something similar, this will vastly help me find events that I can go to without having to take a ton of PTO, thanks Mark!
Love that your videos cover educating not just on fitness but things like events - especially when hands on giving true life feedback - great video as always 🤘
I did my first DEKA Mile about a month ago at a local gym here in the US and it was cramped and the run was done outdoors. They did waves of 3 participants about every 15-20 minutes and each of us was assigned a personal coach/marshal which was nice and was intended to make sure there was no cheating. This was my marshals first time so they did get some of the rules and counts wrong which caused me to get in my own head about it but overall it was a great challenge.
You make some great points Mark! Deka is still new so who knows where they will be in a few years. Looking forward to finding out how smooth the Deka world championship will be this weekend!
Loved what you had to say - and the way in which you said it. Thanks. I'm about to do my first DEKA event - DEKA Mile - in Birningham on Feb 18th, 2024 and your video has given me a huge insight into what to expect. I note you point out that DEKA Mile is way more fun than Hyrox, which I'm so happy about as I've done one of those and it was far from fun!
@@MarkLewisfitness They are even more menacing in real life,…., fortunately they don’t row on water … come to think of it I am yet to see one row anywhere….😂
I love your videos, thank you for the inspiration and the advice. I am 51 years old and ran a new 5K PR this morning with a time of 26:06 and I was remembering your video from a while back of how you push yourself harder when racing with faster people. That idea was at the front of my mind. I was over a minute and a half faster than the last time I ran a 5K because of your video. I have my first full marathon on December 11th and will be thinking again of your tips and inspiration. You are doing great things here for a lot of people. Best Regards, Alan
Great job on completing the whole trifecta, just want to tell you that you really inspire us (My wife and I) and are on our way to "Above Average"..! at 53 i am pushing hard to be the best version of myself at this point in my life.! Thanks for your motivational jokes and for willing to expose yourself in all you do so we can see what is possible. I am doing my first Spartan (Super / in Dec.) and i am very excited.!
Loving the content Mark!! Would you ever Zwift again? I’m about 2 years behind you. I’m terrible at running but need some new challenges after competitive bodybuilding. Come out of Zwift retirement for me please 😉
Good video - as someone who is now fully into Hyrox (thanks to this channel!) I'd be up for trying a DekaFit in the UK - they should bring it sooner rather than later as the demand is clearly there
Really enjoy your content, Mark. Stumbled onto your channel when you were doing lots of zwifting. This was when I started my zwifting journey back in 2020 so loved all these videos. I was fluctuating between 85-88kg at 178cm tall. Just over two years later I’m 64.5kg and a cat A rider on zwift for over 12months now. Also joined a great racing team, and captain weekly a team for WTRL’s team time trial events… highly recommend them for a challenge, and you’d be more than welcome to join 👍. I now find myself looking forward to your content on other stuff (Hyrox and ultra endurance running). Huge respect for your attitude toward challenging yourself and competing in things that you’re not built for. Great channel!
What a great sport you are Mark! Those were tidy events. Giving mere mortals the opportunity to test themselves without killing themselves in the process. From a competition perspective, those three Tenerife events, should tune you up nicely for Hyrox this weekend!
@@MarkLewisfitness I always tell this to those nearing their big day. Usually a boxer! There’s little one can do to improve upon their fitness during the week before an important contest? But there’s a lot they can do to mess it up😏 Hope you do well this weekend Mark. I’m not sure if you’re teaming up with Jen? Or going it alone? Best wishes either way👍🏽
@@wildernesstraining1957 doubles again-hoping to get under 75 minutes-so about four minutes faster than last time. As you say, being careful not to mess that up this week!
Used to love running and OCR but can no longer run for a couple of reasons. Have missed doing OCR so DEKA Strong is perfect for me. Going to find one to try. Great video as always. Keep them coming.
I've done my share of both, they're awesome! I will say this, that Hyrox is a polished, professional event, and much harder...much harder! The Deka Series is fun, as challenging as the effort to decide to put forth, but not the big professional production like Hyrox, but I still love it.
I suspect DEKA Tenerife was small because it was on Tenerife at the end of the season. I suspect it's harder to get people to marshall a spartan event in Tenerife than in Toledo, Ohio.
I probably wouldn't ever do one of these events but really enjoyed the video. Both Hyrox and Spartan need to watch this as the criticism was very constructive, excellent in fact.
The RAM is designed and built here in Ireland, I know the guy behind it, that is how I discovered DEKA. Doing my 1st one in August. Next is I'm going to do a trifecta some time next year.
Thanks for the video! I checked it out and there a Deka Strong here in March.. considering giving it a shot..... I'm In the middle of Ironman training and crossfit so this may be a nice change
This was super helpful, Mark, thanks for doing reconnaissance for us all. Yay, cocktails and pizza! ;-) Good work, Jen! (Looking for a Deka Mile near me...)
I completed my first Spartan race (10K) this year. Salt Lake City is one of, if not the, hardest Spartan they offer. I really enjoyed the obstacle aspect of the race. I think next year I'll do their shorter race (5K) instead. I was plenty wiped out by the end of things. This is an interesting version of the race that they have. I'd love to try this sometime.
Last summer I ran a deka mile, then Deka fit this spring, finally graduated to Hyrox this fall. It was great to get to start with the deka mile, but I won’t do it again. It’ll be dekafit and hyrox from here on out for me. I’m also a “big lump”. Weighing in slightly more than you. Wish they had a Clydesdale category!
Ok another great video and breakdown of a Spartan race , you have now very much inspired me to go do one BUT!! the elephant in the room or on the island is Iwatch ultra! Where’s Garmin? Are you going to the dark side? As a watch nut as well as a training nut I have garmin7 , omegas (007) of course, Tudor, etc but haven’t tried ultra I watch, so are you saying you’re keeping it as your go to training watch??? Tks Al
Great video again Mark! But lets talk about one thing. Toss those sunglasses to the nearest bin. You of any people can and need to rock a proper size aviators.
If you have bad enough exercise-induced asthma that it was measurably affecting your breath tests even with the inhaler, you should definitely see if adding something like montelukast can get better control! It might make a huge difference to your performance.
Great content, thanks for this on the latest fitness race, wondered where you were flying to. Had to laugh at the inhaler after lifting the RAM roller. What was the table of rubber bands for by the entrance to the RAM burpees @ 6:30 ?!?
Mark well put together video again. As a side note, your step ups on the box can be massively improved to better your time and efficiency. BTW the DEKA WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS is this weekend in Atlantic City, New Jersey.
Great video! Wanted to ask do you still use the Monkeyfeet for your hip flexors? If so, would you consider doing a follow up video talking about it? Thanks
I admire the effort you take to find an event you're competitive at. Face it, you're 30lbs (at least) too heavy to be a competitive distance runner. If you added 100lbs to the weighted sled, and shortened the run bit to 800m, and added a mountain climb with a heavy pack, you'd knock out most of us skinny types.
No, Hyrox should not worry. I paid for 2x Spartan Trifecta passes ( 6 races total) just before the forst lock-down. Spartan has since disappeared from Sputh Africa. Cool videos, keep them coming
Good review and it's great to have events for all types. 👍 That said, these types of races aren't of interest to me at this stage of my life. If it doesn't have trails, obstacles and mud, it doesn't get my entry fee. Some day maybe, but I've prepaid for another "regular" Spartan trifecta next year. Cheers!
have you ever tried hiking mount tiede? its an active volcano over 12,000ft in altitidude but oxygen level is 50% of whats at sea level, it really tested my fitness, felt like the most unfittest persn
Hyrox and Deka looks and sounds great, very similar to way I tend to train myself. BUT, being a sport from the USA, it takes soooooo many volunteering as marshalls, judges, track monkeys, riggers and what not. I do crossfit, same issue, I go to roller derby events, same issue; so many people are needed for the sport to exist. Huge problem in the long term.
Hyrox must have seen your comments on adjudication. Wall ball standards were savage in London. I had about 30 no reps. Well done both of you in the mixed.
I was all set to rip them apart, if the marshalling was as bad as Birmingham! London was super strict, and in a couple of places, it was an issue, because judges had clearly been told to take no nonsense, but when they weren’t quite sure of the rules some were enforcing things that were wrong (for example, telling people to put their hands to their feet when going down for a Burpee is not the rule) but even so, way better than Birmingham.
Unfortunately the merch is set up with zero profit. We simply cover the cost - as soon as we move into international shipping and taxes we can’t do it without loosing money.
If you are from Ancient Greece or modern Greece alike. Deka meant "Ten" 4000 years ago as much as it means "Ten" today. We Greeks don't like change much :-D. Thanks for another great Video guys
I think such an event can take place on any football play ground. But even if you want to have some infrastructure, there are at least Newcastle, Sunderland, Carlisle, Hartlepool, Middlesbrough. Yes, hyrox hast to worry.
Looks like alot of fun if they removed all the running and made it all using the bike 😜
Just cycling with deadlifts every 1km 😂 You’ve just invented a new sport 😁💪🚲
I second this Greg. I’m following yourself and mark for some ideas on challenges I can set my mind to away from the stage!!
Tenerife is nice
You need a donut box that has Jen’s voice yelling at you when it opens….95Kilo guaranteed! 😂🤣. Deka Fit looked fun. Always a fun ride watching you Mark.

If i was the last guy. I would have been absolutely mortified.
The running distance does seem confusing, especially the Mile event, how are they gonna accurately ensure people are running just 160m between events.
