Decided to focus on threshold work today instead of chasing sub-19 5 K race pace — that’s still my secondary goal for this build, but not the priority right now.

I mixed in some incline variations during the sets, since that really spooked me during last week’s parkrun 5 K TT.

Evening kettlebell session was solid — good quality work all around.

Hyrox Melbourne Build - Week 4, Day 6

I ran the same parkrun slower than last month. Is this a setback? Well, it is one of the indicators, and I partially put my pride on it. It didn't happen, but a few things to celebrate - I felt the same runs are easier on treadmill workouts. - My ranking has progressed from 9th to 8th (don't take it seriously tho I know many people doing their Parkrun at their tempo pace). - I felt easier in the first few KMs. I don't really know what I could have done differently for the last 4 weeks. But here are what would change AFTER the Hyrox Melbourne - More running outside on the actual track. - More Hills and threshold. Let's see and learn

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.
