301: I’m training for HYROX, and I’m not overhauling my entire life to do it

So you may be wondering, what is a high rocks and why am I doing it? So a high rocks race is a fitness race that combines running and functional strength training and conditioning.

So there are going to be several stations throughout the workout.

And so I will run and then immediately go into a work station.

The stations are going to be varied from sled pushes to sled pulls to burpee broad jumps, rowing machine, farmer's carry, wall ball.

There's a couple of other stations too, but I just wanted you to understand like the layout of this race.

You can always look it up as well.

I inspire you to do that because this may be something that you want to compete in.

So you're going to do a run and then you're going to complete a station.

And the reps are pretty high, my friend.

So the first time, this is my first time doing this.

I'm actually signing up with my husband.

We're going to be a team together and I'm super excited about that.

So we get to strategize and split up some of the stations.

Yes, that does make it easier.

So if you're worried about something like this, and maybe you're considering the high rocks race as well, I would say pay close attention to if you're signing up for singles, if you're signing up for doubles, and you can have a teammate, a partner, join along with you and make it easier.

Because if you are doing singles, that means you will have to complete all the stations and the runs by yourself.

Now, from my understanding, and I may be wrong on this, I still do need to verify it for 100%.

we will complete all the runs together, which I think averages out to be about five miles over the course of the workout.

And then we can break up the stations together.

So there are certain things I'm strong on that I will be able to maybe do a little bit more certain things he's stronger on that he can do a little bit more.

And then there's just certain things that's equally as challenging and we may have to just break them up equally.

I feel pretty good about the overall design and all of the exercises.

So for those of you that haven't followed along with my journey, I've been in this industry for two decades.

I actually spent over half of my career working with clients in person as a personal trainer and a nutrition coach at the wellness and boutique fitness center that I worked at.

We only worked with clients one-on-one.
