You completed a hyrox event at 260lbs doing CrossFit exclusively, and yet CrossFit didn’t prepare you to do hyrox? Find another woman who would even fathom doing a hyrox race at that bodyweight. CrossFit is literally the only reason you could do it at all.

It didn’t prepare me *well* no I really struggled with the run. To do a hyrox you need more running than CrossFit gives you. Being able to push myself through something that was tough is just my default. It doesn’t mean I was well prepared for it. But if CrossFit alone is good enough for you, you do you. Yes CrossFit was the only reason I could do it. If I trained specifically for hyrox I could have done it a lot more easily. CrossFit has given me a lot. But it’s not the be all and end all of fitness.

Yes, CrossFit can help you prepare for hyrox, but you have to add running to your workout routine. Hyrox will not prepare you for crossfit

Yeah so CrossFit alone won’t prepare you for hyrox. I guess that’s the problem that it claims to prepare you for anything. No one is claiming that hyrox will prepare you for CrossFit or any other sport for that matter

I did a Hyrox just doing CF training. I also just jumped into an 8 mile Turkey Trot without training specifically for running. CF prepares you for most anything you encounter.

I’m glad it does that for you. I also did a hyrox without specifically training for it (only doing CrossFit) no idea what a turkey trot is but I did a half marathon only doing CrossFit. Being able to do it doesn’t mean I was good though. And it’s definitely not the best level of fitness I’ve ever been at.

Here are the actual, complete guidelines for movement from the NHS by the way…. Adults should aim to: do strengthening activities that work all the major muscle groups (legs, hips, back, abdomen, chest, shoulders and arms) on at least 2 days a week do at least 150 minutes of moderate intensity activity a week or 75 minutes of vigorous intensity activity a week spread exercise evenly over 4 to 5 days a week, or every day reduce time spent sitting or lying down and break up long periods of not moving with some activity You can also achieve your weekly activity target with: several short sessions of very vigorous intensity activity a mix of moderate, vigorous and very vigorous intensity activity In particular, pay attention to the last bit…. ‘You can also achieve your weekly activity target with: several short sessions of very vigorous intensity activity a mix of moderate, vigorous and very vigorous intensity activity’

I guess I am a bit confused on some things here. You are in a class that you have 60 mins. Your warm up should be 5 to 10 ish mins and you want a 30+ metcon? leaving you 20-25 mins for muscle building or other training. Whoop is incredibly inaccurate. Has been proven. Also are you referring to zone 2 training for cardio? I can show you the results of my tracking that shows my HR in zone 2 during the metcon that shows cardio is being improved and we do 10-20 min metcon A typical class should be programming around a 10-20 min metcon at the end of the class. Say avg is 15 mins. You do that 5 days a week that is 75 mins of vigorous training which meets the standard you stated earlier. So is this a crossfit affiliate programming issue or an issue with the athlete training? I guess I am just trying to understand why you would state that crossfit has a cardio problem but there is no supporting material.

I outlined the risk of never doing any long duration steady state cardio. Maybe rewatch the video. 15 monitored isn’t long duration. But it’s enough for you then cool

CrossFit is an all-round methodology, y’all know this. However, Most CrossFitters I know are fit AF. They take accountability for their training to get the results they need. Same as everyone in the rest of the fitness space. Those that don’t, do not progress. If you want to be led to fitter, faster, stronger by someone else, then get a PT rather than solely rely on group workout situations. Or go do cardio outside of CF. Think about this logically..this is a broad brush to paint and this misses the wall entirely. PTs also have their own coaches, and outside programming..this is for a reason. Accountability is key to achieving anything in life. These days everyone seems to look far too much at extrinsic factors to “do the work” for them. I’m not a CrossFitter (hybrid & dabble) but CF does make you fit. There are many facets to CF & if you want to improve one of those, then it’s on you to shoot for the moon. The community will support you. Wish you and everyone here well in your fitness endeavours.

Why would you train crossfit to do hyrox ? That’s stupid. Like saying lets do more tennis to play rugby. Since Hyrox is 70% cardio and CrossFit isn’t , Hyrox will have a greater impact on CV endurance. Just do Hyrox.

Yeah I agree with you, the whole video here basically agrees with your point here. The problem is CrossFit presents itself as the perfect way to get fit for anything and it just isn’t. Hyrox was new back then so I just saw it as another CrossFit-like competition. But you’re right it actually requires a completely different style of training. To answer your question I just did CrossFit before hyrox because I felt so guilty about doing less CrossFit and getting worse at it I didn’t manage to fit in more hyrox specific training. And I entered it quite last minute so I also ran out of time

@@sportybeth I think CrossFit provides enough cardio for say a 5km ParkRun and adequate strength / fitness for a lot of sports. It provides the skills for Hyrox for sure. Things like triathlon , 1/2 marathon, Hyrox etc need specific training. The methodology of CF provides all round strength & fitness and I would argue provides better all round training for women than pure cardio sports. Do like I do perhaps, switch between , for me, pure running / minimal strength for a few months then back to CrossFit. Won’t be huge loss in cardio fitness or strength as you switch between disciplines.

Personally I found that despite walking for an hour a day my cardio-vascular fitness declined rapidly in just 4 months. I was injured and unable to continue running and was able to walk, so I walked everyday for about 1 hour and yet, as I said, my fitness declined so much in that time. Personally walking is not enough to maintain or increase cardio vascular fitness, you have to run/ride/swim/HIIT. Walking just doesn't cut it, even at

I disagree CF will give you a good base line to compete at hyrox. CF principles is also built upon decent nutrition without this people will not see the progression you might expect to see. Having great coaches and programming is also key, I see to many times where athletes don’t embrace the full stimulus of a workout and coaches don’t pull them up on it. P.s throw your whoop in the bin it’s BS had one for 3 years in the end I feel it was giving me crap info/data

Two things, I feel like the starting part of the class counts as low intensity movement, so we might be hitting 30-40 mins towards the low intensity movement health goals in that section. And second I think we do get fitter, but the beauty of the wod is that you constantly push yourself so you don't always realise that you're fitter. For general health goals I think CrossFit is great. I'd have to add some long cardio sessions to do a hyrox though.

If it works for you and you feel like the first part counts enough as steady state cardio then fair enough! It’s not for me but we’re all different!

I did crossfit for about a year and I found I never really got a full workout in, I also didnt see enough progression in the year I was doing it. A 1 hr class and only 30 mins of that was actually working out, either strength work or the wod. The rest was waiting for the coach to show up, warming up, and putting things away to set up for the wod

That sounds like you may have had a bad coach/gym. At no point and time in the hour should you be waiting for the coach to show up. You should have a 5-10 min warm up, weight lifting and then your metcon. If you are cleaning up for the class before you then that is a gym issue.

Yeah and a lot of the technique stuff takes up a lot of time, which is fine when you’re starting out and totally needed. But when you know how to Olympic lift and revising everything every time you do a snatch it wastes a fair amount of time that could be put into the workout. And those people saying “the warm up counts” no one is going to go hard in a warmup when they’re expected to go all out in the workout later on.

@sportybeth I still feel your argument is being directed in the wrong direction. If you know how to do everything already, then maybe you should t be doing class and maybe should be doing an open gym as all gyms have that time. Classes are designed for those who need the training and guidance. Ultimately it isn't a crossfit issue it is the athlete. Crossfit isn't making you only do 15 min metcon. You are choosing to do 15 min metcon.

CrossFit is a cult and this thought was only solidified when I joined. I needed some structured classes as my previous strength and conditioning class had changed time meaning I could no longer attend. If you need to do an event that has specific workouts then you need to train specifically, simple - as a trainer you should know this. I’m not going to solely train on a bike if I need to run a marathon 🤷♀️
