Episode notes
Avoid Forcing Race Pace
- Avoid forcing goal race pace in workouts with mixed exercises like Hyrox to prevent burnout.
- Focus on sustainable effort to maximize training volume and recovery.
Test and Adjust Pace with Rest
- Begin training at achievable paces with short rest periods to test race pace readiness.
- If pace can’t be sustained with minimal rest, back off and build endurance first.
Set Training Goals by Effort
- Set training goals based on achievable training metrics like duration or volume, rather than fixed pace targets.
- This approach better matches individual progress and avoids frustration during training.
