Hyrox is not a great event to include in a consistent triathlon training programme. While it does involve running, it’s not really a run. It uses the arms, back and shoulders so could help with the swim but the only thing you’re swimming in is the sweat from the other half naked competitors. It’s a hybrid event but one that requires a couple of days to recover as my legs were still gubbed five days later but at least by then I could at least bend over and pull my socks on. At the start of the week, bending over was painful and stiff on Monday. Then on Tuesday, my forearms became numb and stiff too. I couldn’t work out at first why they were now sore when they were fine on Sunday and Monday. I took me a couple of hours to realise that as both forearms were sore in the same place then it’s likely to be internal bruising from catching the 6kg wall ball 100 times. Hyrox: the sport that keeps on giving… internal injuries.
