@aaronmark Plus the standardization and ability to compete in it in so many cities is appealing. Kind of like doing marathons/half-marathons in different cities.
@patrick1234 I’ve been doing CrossFit for a year and the idea of training for a Hyrox event is appealing. I look at Hyrox like doing a 10k running race, with some strong man/ CrossFit elements mixed in. I don’t know what the equivalent for CrossFit is for me as a regular person, except for the Open. I could do local comps but I’m just not interested in pushing at that level. The learning curve to get to Rx is huge. I still love CrossFit, but as my regular “gym experience”.
@heavenstudent Funnily enough I’m doing my first hyrox event in April and am looking at it in a similar way. The movements I’ll sail through with my regular CrossFit training.. it’s the 8k of running in between that’s gonna hurt.
@heavenstudent This is exactly it, training for a Hyrox once or twice a year will benefit any CrossFitter who wants a more solid aerobic base. They are entirely complimentary of each other.
@ektar74 There was the boom of Spartans and tough mudders like a decade ago; run for a while, do a thing, run for a while, do a thing. Hyrox seems pretty boring.
