First Hyrax coming up in Glasgow in early 2023. Loving the training so far!

really liked your take on motivation, and the use of word humbled, i was massively humbled in london this year, but boy has that motivated me to train smarter and better. its the first video on hyrox that addresses those points, great work!

Great video Greg. As someone new to the HYROX world, I'm equal parts nervous about performance and nervous about the unknown. Can I suggest a future video that's like a walkthrough of the day?

Take us through London. What happened when you checked in. How long was your wait? How helpful was the support team at getting you in place for the start? Was the atmosphere big, and geared to get you going? Or was it quite flat if you were just kicking about beforehand.

And then the race. Treat me like an idiot. How is the run worked out? How long do you spend in the Roxzone getting water etc before the next station. How much do you drink? How did you find the sleds etc.

I mean, there's a movie length video here! But hopefully you get what I mean. Imagine you had the eyes of a new-born child. What did they see and experience?

Great video mate. Thanks for all the info. I’d like to see maybe a sign off each time with a milestone being met or an achievement from you or a subscriber and/or a target someone’s aiming for too. Could help to develop the RoxLyfe community because I think you’ve created something really good here. 👍🏻💪🏻

So, is every race/event always the same 8 functional excercises? 😊
