HCP #36 - Big Surprise, Training with Age, Overtraining, Farmer Carry Tips, & Guess the athlete game
Anthony and JK discuss the big surprise they have for next week's episode that both are really excited about, then address some questions that came in about addressing training and programming as you age and where do you start to reduce the weights, then another question about overtraining and its signs. They continue their tips on specific stations of a HYROX race with the Farmer Carry, and finish the episode with a "Guess the Athlete game"! Let us know below how you scored on the trivia game, did you beat JK's score of 2 out of 9?
How the stats of the trivia game were compiled:
All World, European, and US (later renamed North American) Championship race placements since the inception of HYROX were gathered. There were 14 Championship races someone could have been a part of up to this point:
6 World Championships (2019 - Oberhausen, 2020 - Hamburg, 2021 - Leipzig, 2022 - Las Vegas, 2023 - Manchester, 2024 - Nice)
4 US/NA Championships (2021-2023 - Chicago , 2024 - DC)
4 European Championships (2021 - Hamburg, 2022-2023 - Maastricht, 2024 - Vienna)
Most Championships attended: Lauren Weeks & Viola Oberlander (11)
Most Total Championships: Lauren Weeks (8), Hunter McIntyre (4), Alex Roncevic/Tobias Lautwein (t-3), all other athletes have at most 1.
The Victory points were calculated as 3 points for a 1st place in a championship, 2 points for 2nd place, 1 point for 3rd place, 0 points for no podium (I also did a system where I awarded 5 points for 1st, 3 for 2nd, 2 for 3rd, and 1 for attending but no podium and gave 0 points for not attending and had everyone's total be the same value but the results were nearly identical to the other system so I left it as 3-2-1).
For evolution of the sport, I also included a post-2022 win percentage using the point system. If you'd like a screenshot of the spreadsheet, message me and let me know! It covers the first 6 seasons of HYROX since there are no longer US/NA or European Championship races associated with the Elite field.
