    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.

      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!

    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%.

  • @chrisbunney5477

    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.

  • @sp4044

    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 🙌

    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!

  • @heikowallauer
    @heikowallauer ปีที่แล้ว +19

    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

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 👍🏼

    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.

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.

    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.

    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

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

    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?
