Two energy drinks in, after 9 p.m. Not a decision I’m proud of, but I flowed through this quality session.

I’m happy that the sled push and pull after the run felt manageable, and I’m more confident about the race.

This week’s sessions were a bit skewed due to work, but from a progression standpoint, this one shows I can sustain power output and threshold pace for 30 minutes under fatigue — longer than last week.

Trust the process.

7 Weeks Hyrox Build: Week 2 Sunday

In my opinion, it’s just not nice to leave your family duties for too long — for me, two hours is probably the max. I broke my long run this Sunday — 16 km in the morning and 7.5 km later in the day — to stack mileage without disappearing from home for too long. The 16 km segment felt a lot easier than the last one. I’m counting it as solid progress, even if my watch and Strava don’t completely agree. I also listened to the RMR Training Podcast (https://youtu.be/Ugvtpl59a9w?si=v0T0n9R3ceeWpSJh), which made me rethink what I said just a day ago — that with lower mileage, you need more mixed-intensity days instead of pure Zone 2. I’m back to the initial plan: Keep easy days easy and hard days hard. In reflection, this alone has helped me run a much faster 5 K than a few friends who train with higher volume or push the pace on their “easy” runs. (Sorry for the trash talk.) Life’s been busy this week. A few things at work have thrown off my training schedule, but I still hit the key sessions. Flow with life (and with the help of energy drinks, plus being a night owl— sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do) and trust the process.

7 Week Hyrox Build: Week 2 Thursday

##When life gets in the way, the biggest enemy is your guilt. I missed the designated training time for the day and had to finish a meeting at 11 p.m. Work has been stressful as well. I gave myself this decision framework to combat it: 1. Go back and think about the goal of each session throughout the week. 2. Have a clear priority for the key adaptations — protect them. Another secret weapon — a quick guilt-slasher workout: Something that hits your system just enough to calm your nerves about missing the session. For me, it’s a quick kettlebell EMOM, metcon style, because strength endurance is a key adaptation I want to bank this week. Regrouped. Consistency above all.

7 Weeks Hyrox Build: Week 2 Wednesday

I struggled to find rhythm on the row erg — my hips felt disconnected and my biceps were burning. What’s annoying is that just last week, rowing at a lower pace felt much easier, even in a more intense session. But what matters most is that I got the workout in the bank — I rowed non-stop. There’s nothing more important than trusting the process and staying consistent.
