CrossFit Grandview Podcast #197 — Training With a Target

This week, Brandon and Kate dive into their training for their first HYROX race — Mixed Doubles in Boston!We talk about how we approach preparing for an event and why it’s important to identify and protect the big workouts that matter most each week.Right now, that means: Wednesday — HYROX race simulation work Saturday — Long runEverything else during the week has some wiggle room. We still want to train hard, lift, and stay well-rounded — but not at the expense of the sessions that are moving us toward the main goal.We also talk about fall being a common time for training to start slipping. Summer ends, schedules change, the days get shorter, and it becomes easier to miss workouts.Having an event, race, competition, or even a personal challenge on the calendar can be a great anchor for your training and give your weeks some direction.
