Lol :laughing:

Thatā€™s gone over my head

60 wall balls (6Kg) in 2mins 10
40 wall balls in 1min 25
Need to aim for 100 straight in 3mins.
Lungs still the limiting factor

Just did a very easy test run. 6km, 33.10 at 5.30 pace.

Iā€™ll see how the hips are tonight. :crossed_fingers:

That is very fast
If you look at the top age groupers most did it in 4-5 mins ( older ones)

Have you tried those awful jump things yet ?

They are possibly he hardest exercise ive ever done ā€¦ just plain awful

30min run at lunch, first run for 11 days. Took it easy as I didnā€™t want to suck lots of frigid air into my lungs.

Coughed up chunks afterwards, but great to get out.

Iā€™m thinking that each wall ball takes 2 seconds so 100 of them will be 3mins 20. Plus messing about picking the ball up etc and 4 minutes total will probably be a good time. Today it was all I did, much harder when youā€™ve just come off a run (and 7 other strength exercises).

Burpee broad jumps are bound to be painful when I get around to trying them out. May start with just the jump bit. Hopefully I can jump at least 1 metre then Iā€™ll only have to work on being able to do 80 of them! :face_vomiting:

I really really got into this ā€¦
Iā€™m much better at this than triathlon, but the broad jumps were wrecking my back, I donā€™t just mean stiff, I mean I would have really hurt myself if Iā€™d have continued doing them.

Advice from hyrox coaches is to do a burpee chest to the floor, with a small 6? Inch jump at the end
20
30
40 etc

The other half of the session is just the jumps
Obviously 40 2 m jumps is the required distance

Iā€™ve done 100 wall balls three times, but with a 4 kg ball and our ā€œ target ā€œ looks a lot lower than competition standard, I never stopped.

20 per min is 5 min total at the end of that lot ā€¦ Iā€™d take that all day

Most of the people who went well did several
8 x 1 km runs
8 x exercise, obviously row, ski erg carry, lunges at a lower intensity than race day.

Looking at peoples times Most of the huge losses came on both sleds ( paticulary pull) and the lunges also runs either side of these were very slow
One guy went from 4:37 km to 6:18 km and back to 5:20.

Really interested to see how you do and your thoughts
