Last week I had an absolute disaster at HYROX London. It was my first Pro race in almost two years. I figured that, since I was going to have this conversation with my coach, Paddy Maher, it might be interesting for you guys to listen in on the sorts of things we chat about when looking to improve HYROX times.We took a deep dive into the different stations, weaknesses, strengths, and stats from the day. We looked at what exactly went wrong, whether my approach to pacing with heart rate was optimal, and whether it was a good idea or not to go to the cinema beforehand. We also talked about whether I’m simply fighting genetics with HYROX Pro and if I should even continue in this weight class.We explored why, despite feeling the strongest I’ve ever felt going into a competition, I struggled so much on the sled pull, and what we’ll do differently next time. Plus, we discussed some of the strategies we’re going to put in place to improve for my next HYROX Pro race.I’m hoping that, if you’re in a similar position to me and looking to improve your HYROX time, you’ll take some insights from this chat and hopefully feel a bit less alone if you’ve been struggling with similar things.Please enjoy this conversation with Paddy Maher.#hyrox #coaching #hyroxlondon Sign up to indiip for free at indiip.com/podcastIf you liked this episode, I’ve curated a list of episodes similar here:https://studio.youtube.com/playlist/PLMebuClQRf0-w8w31XGwd4r2JIkuq-Vw9/videosFully Timestamped Chapter List00:00:00 Intro & Pre-Race Expectations00:00:45 Race Plan, Warm-Up & Heart-Rate Strategy00:06:22 Splits Review & Pacing Across Stations00:10:30 Lunges Hamstring Tweak & Wall Balls Struggle00:15:36 Priority Fixes: Sled Pull, Lunges, Wall Balls & Burpees00:19:51 Pro vs Open: Motivation & Goals00:26:10 Training–Life Balance, Recovery & Late Race Timing00:33:21 Season Timing, Redemption & Heart-Rate Strategy00:45:59 Aerobic Base: Bike & Building Volume00:50:03 Run Volume, Social Runs & Weekly Structure (Stockholm Plans)00:53:13 Closing & Coach Links***LINKS***Paddy’s Websitehttps://bit.ly/4g55IvPPaddy’s Instagramhttps://bit.ly/4g9AXGchttps://www.instagram.com/industry13sf/?hl=enJoin the indiip beta:indiip.com/beta15% Off Bare Bar (CODE: JASE):https://bit.ly/barejaseMY STUFF:awakenoutofcontext.comAwaken Out Of Context Podcast (YouTube & Podcast Links):https://bit.ly/3tk8FVvFollow Me On Instagram (@awakenoutofjason):https://bit.ly/3RAkKQj
