Video

This is quite an old video for me now but I'll break down a couple of ways you can approach the rest periods. 1) if you want get more powerful, hit your reps harder and take longer rests (like 2-3mins) 2) if you want to work on cardio, hit your reps comfortably hard and take shorter rests (60-90secs) 3) if you train by Heart rate (using a chest strap) you can gauge your rest period by recovery HR. For example pause until you get back to zone 2.

@@NikRunTheHills super helpful bro

I did my usual mix of running and strength training too. I post all my training to Strava (and soon to NRTH)

Agreed. Check the long format to see why I omitted the jump.

Thanks for the comment. I'm 6ft tall, was 91kg when filming this. I recently cut my weight down to 83kg and have been documenting it for the members only section (if you fancy following along click join - I made it members only because weight loss can be triggering and is full of a lot of conflicting info these days). I've found the whole process immensely empowering and have seen improvements not just in my sporting performance but in other areas of my life too. Happy to chat more about it

Do it!!

@@NikRunTheHills I actually started the day I made this comment, so I'm now 6 days in. Today will be my 7th day and I'm already getting better at them.

Awesome stuff! Well done

Totally! The going out hard wasn't working, but enjoying it is working well - still progressing time wise too, but everything feels more positive and less pressured. Awesome man! See you in Birmingham. If you wana chat about running stuff, just let me know - learnt a fair old bit this season that might save you some time and help you get more bang for your buck in training

😂 Grumpy Gremlin, love that 🧌100% I've been there too. Pacing is a big one, riding that thin line of optimal intensity. Mindset shift - Once you take the pressure off and lock in to what you're doing, you can celebrate the moments more. But fundamentally it's a pacing thing - I used to always suffer by the time I got to the row and regress through and hate the rest of the race.

It's been such a year of big lessons, very grateful to have landed on the right side of things! Great to have you here and share the journey with you.

🙏 It's all for the love in the end. Hopefully see you in Birmingham!

Wow no shit 😂 although if you do the maths, if Kipchoges relative VO2 max is 90ml/kg/min and he weighs 52kg, his absolute vo2 max would be 4.7L. but I couldn't even get to his marathon pace, let alone do it for 2 hours.

@@NikRunTheHills you think you have a higher vo2 max than kipchoge lmao ? 🤡

I think you're not understanding the difference between relative and absolute VO2 max 🤡😂

@@NikRunTheHills you think you are fitter than kipchoge lmao. You're a weekend warrior who does hyrox thinking he's an athlete lmao

The difference here is I'm using maths and science, you're using opinion. I'm not claiming to be fitter than kipchoge, are you out of your mind? I'm saying I literally had my Vo2 max tested in a lab and I can intake 5.3L of oxygen per minute. But to calculate relative v02 max; the value that people use as a measure of fitness, you divide this (absolute VO2) by your bodyweight - this essentially creates a measurement of how effectively you can use the oxygen. Kipchoge has at least double the efficiency and that's not even taking into account his lactate threshold. The problem is with people like you on the internet - you type before you think. Do some reading on the subject - you'll see.

💯 jumps - look a little closer, I started the challenge with a jump, but then stopped jumping to let my ankle heal from a niggle

💪💪

I did a bit of intermittent fasting, but didn't really have a clue about diet. It's something I've really dialled in the last couple of months

What about Burpees?

Go again tomorrow

@@NikRunTheHills can I do 10 sets of 10? Wait about 30 seconds rest between the sets until I get fitter? Also do you do cal the nics after ?? Or is that enough?

@@frankiestephenson7157 yeah of course. Just commit to doing the Burpees - so don't go off an do other things is your rests, commit that moment to getting it done. Didn't understand your last question, what did you mean?

@@NikRunTheHills I mean apart from the 100 burpees do you do like press ups dips squats and pull ups too?

@@frankiestephenson7157 yeah man, all sorts. I would do gym and running as usual. But find what works for you!

Man Burpees never get any easier 😂 it's such a mental thing with them though - they don't getting any easier but you get more used to them sucking

@@NikRunTheHills ''they don't getting any easier but you get more used to them sucking'' ... that gave me a chuckle !! ; ]

Sorry, but you're defienietly not in good shape if u cant breathe after 10 burpees, or you just set urself a mental limit

@@Mariusz-mq2tg “It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.”

@@user-kv1lp8ih8g I got it, you think i am not into burpees myself? 😂 “The trouble with most of us is that we would rather be ruined by praise than saved by criticism.” -Norman Vincent Peale

Thank you!

Thanks for stopping by and showing some love! Really appreciate it and glad you enjoyed the video. It's a small snapshot into what was such an epic adventure

💪💪

Hell yeah, it's half the race. If running is the key, then fitness is the lock. It all comes back to fitness

❤️🐶

💪💪

Ah thank you! Haha maybe :)

Work up to it 💪

The number is only relevant to you. Pick a number you can stick to every day, but pushes you outside your comfort zone. For me that was 100 X 100 but for you maybe 30 x 30 is the first step. It's about commitment to the consistency rather than the numbers 💪

Mainly running, and some strength work for Hyrox

@@NikRunTheHills oh great. I'm running as well but I just started incorporating burpees. It's really a battle of the mind and body

@@blaqmermaiid 100% there's nothing quite like the Burpees good luck with the running

Hyrox

@@NikRunTheHills hyrox?

@@NikRunTheHills ok just checked out the site. I see. Good site!

@@Seegie16 I started this whole challenge to get better at burpees in Hyrox. The movement standards for that are closer to my style of burpees in day 101. If you check out the other 100 days, you'll see they all involve a press up and the plank you're referring to.

@@NikRunTheHills I looked into hyrox. It looks really cool actually and I like the athletic aspect of it. Sometimes the military burpee gets to rigid and starts to lack plyo and agility work. Good stuff. Im definitely going to try them. Im open minded, I do military, sapatee, prison, crossfit and now hyrox!

That's awesome! So stoked for you heading into your first Hyrox. That was around the same time I was going for on my first Hyrox! I'm all in on Hyrox training right now so will get back on the daily challenges after May 👀

Good effort 💪
