@tangerinexsky It was fun but it looked like i had jumped into a pool after

Taking my first soul cycle class today after years of making fun of it, I fear I won't be able to walk up stairs for a while

@tomcoppens_ As much as I want to not like Hyrox, its giving a ton of people a reason to train

For all the shit CrossFit and Hyrox get they are a hugely net positive for the fitness world and you can’t really deny it CrossFit defined fitness as work capacity across broad time and modal domain. It made it measurable and accessible to to the general public while reviving sports like Olympic Weightlifting It redefined how people saw fitness and how concurrent training principles were applied It revolutionised the fitness industry as a whole and created many derivatives in terms of functional training A huge (underrated) aspect as well that for women it shifted from being as small as possible to what their bodies are capable of You can argue CrossFit athletes, especially practitioners of the sport of CrossFit are the true hybrid athletes Obviously there it has its flaws, where intensity can be too much of a focus point or it introduced movements that maybe shouldn’t have seen the light of day but not everything is perfect It led the way for Hyrox, since it’s more accessible than CrossFit due to its simplicity and horrible CrossFit (the company) management during Covid and the death of one of the athletes during the Games Hyrox attracts hundreds of thousands of new participants and is the fastest growing sport nowadays I read a stat that this year alone over 1.000.000 people will have done a Hyrox race. That’s an insane number Which in turn is part of the running boom we’re seeing Like it or not, these ‘functional’ fitness races and events is what lots of people love It’s not just the activity itself but also the community aspect, the competitive nature of man and the variation it brings in training Those sports are here to stay and everything that gets people to move more should be encouraged

@jonnokim I usually just pop in a podcast

not sure if it’s just me but i can’t do long runs if it’s a repeated loop or a course i’m too familiar with. i get bored to easily.

@funisnotenough @svan81 @HankFrank Usually 60 minutes. And they usually end up around 70% MHR but I am not a huge stickler about that, at least not as much as other folks on the plan

@dru_skee @svan81 @HankFrank Congrats! I've read the book. How long are your 70% MHR easy runs? Do you actually do the long runs at 70% MHR as well?

UNFORTUNATELY, the formula for getting faster at running is: 1. Easy pace should feel almost embarrassingly easy. 2. One hard effort a week. Maybe two. Done with intent. 3. Strength train. Twice a week. Every week. 4. Sleep like your training depends on it because it does. 5. Eat enough. Then eat more. 6. Cross train on the bike like it’s part of the plan, not a backup. 7. Show up on the days you don’t feel like it. Nobody wants to hear it. Everybody wants the shortcut.

@svan81 @HankFrank This. Ran a 3 :06 in my first ever marathon over the weekend using NSM

@HankFrank Norwegian Singles, Sub Threshold works for me. 3 x a week. Not too hard. Rest easy.

If you see this tweet please reply the last song you listened to. I’m making a playlist

Successfuly told everyone i encountered today that i ran a marathon over the weekend

@HarryZikosny @Brady_H Exactly!

@Brady_H How else an I gonna have DJ sets playing all +4 hours? 🤣

Absolutely fkn not. Nobody should.

@IntraRunner People think im crazy when I tell them its actually a good feeling 🤣

In a weird way, it’s kind of fun to feel like this for a day or two

Squatting 2.5x your bodyweight is better for your health than running a marathon.

You run but you can’t bench 135 or deadlift 225? You’re not in shape.

Everyone drop their favorite 10+ minute songs im sick of the 3 minute long brainrot music i need an adventure

@coughdropsh Terrapin station medley

The organizer of SantaCon being from New Jersey is the least surprising thing about this whole situation

@26VESEY Giants, mets, rangers, nets here. Literally who cares

i will never understand why me being a mets and rangers fan at the same time trips people up. they’re both new york city teams how does that confuse you

Trump is unfortunately doing everything I would be doing if I were president: 1. Threatening nuclear war for fun 2. Calling other countries pussies 3. Sending astronauts to the moon

Actual jacked dude: “both running and lifting are great. Just focus on one thing at a time 👍.” Actual fast dude: "both are great. Just keep the main thing the main thing 👍." Some account called “Ancient Masculinity”: “Here’s why cardio is slowly turning you into a woman 🧵”
