Hyrox · Over 50 · Real Life

Documenting the Hyrox journey, one honest week at a time.

Not a full-time athlete. Not a fitness influencer. Just a disciplined engine rebuilding capacity for Hyrox races while balancing real life.

Why I’m sharing this journey

Hyrox can look intense from the outside. My goal is to show what it really takes for someone in their 50s with a normal life and responsibilities to train, recover, and show up on race day. No secrets — just consistent work, smart adjustments, and transparent metrics.

Everyday athletes

If you’re juggling work, family, stress, travel, and still want a real challenge, this journey is meant to reflect your reality — not a sponsored influencer’s schedule.

Hyrox-curious

If you’ve seen Hyrox clips and thought “there’s no way I could do that” — the weekly breakdowns and metrics here are designed to show how you actually build up to it.

Experienced racers

If you already race, you might enjoy seeing how someone in their 50s structures training, manages recovery, and tracks progress over a full season.
