#Hyrox #London #Marklewis
I was doing a 100km run on Saturday in North Wales and was talking to a guy at the start about motivation and training and your name came up pretty quickly! No real message, just thought you'd like to know that your influence is reaching a lot of people and giving them a chance to connect with others. Keep it up Mark!
That is awesome! One day being mini famous may be a hassle......right now I love it 🤣
Was nice running with you Kane!
@@MarkLewisfitness This was me! Missed out on getting in the top half but still pleased to get it finished. Your ethos on fitness helped shape my training for it so thankyou!
@@Adam-lv9ns Hey Adam! Yes, was nice to meet you, hopefully bump into you again in the future 🙂
Cool video. Great insight into your early Hyrox experience. I’ve just entered Manchester’23 as my first. Unfortunately’Open’ was full, so ‘Pro’ it was. Still, go hard, or go home as they say, and Cornwall is a long way from Manchester …
Big respect on your gains too! 💪
I was in the last group of men & finished 97th out of 97 people… I wanted to quit so many times (I hate running with a passion) but I kept going. Booked November’s one yesterday with the hope of knocking 30 minutes of my time. Hopefully will see you there 💪🏼
Best comment here. 💪
That text from your kid had me in stitches. Worth it now living under a bridge :) And of course, great effort, even greater result, and an awesome video.
I'm 45, 6' 2", 290lbs. I found your channel last week and have watched several videos since. My girlfriend, 13 years younger than me, started running a about a year and a half ago. I do walk with her sometimes, but found that I hated walking, it hurt my feet and back and just wasn't pleasant. I half ass the gym a few times a week. But when I watched your videos last weekend, it struck a chord, I went to the local shoe expert store where they scanned my feet for fitting proper shoes and found I have a high arched right foot and am a heel striker, which explained the cause of the discomfort with walking. I now have a proper pair of shoes and a desire to be better. I walked 5 out of 7 days last week for 10 miles total, and plan to keep that up, increasing my distance weekly, and ultimately breaking a 10 minute mile, and further from there. I'm currently at about 16 minutes per mile. At any rate, thank you for the inspiration, love what you're doing, I'll stop rambling now. 😎 Cheers from the USA, Kevin.
Born to run? :)
@tom Elliot I thought the same thing that book is great! Wish this guy would get some barefoot shoes.
I used to do 13 min/ mile 2 months ago but now run comfortably at a 7:30 min/ mile.
Just trust the process and put in the miles everyday. If it’s at the gym, the road or a hike. Whatever it is. Put in the work.
I’m doing an Ironman in 7 months. Something that I had always dreamed about. Set yourself an unachievable goal and work until it becomes achievable. Best of luck on your journey.
Yo Kev, did you keep up with improving your fitness?
@@PersononYT56 I did but switched to weight lifting with my 20 year old son since it was winter in Ohio. It's just now warming up, so I'll start mixing in walking and bicycling as well.
Awesome video. Love the breakdown of the event and Jenna's shouting 🤣
She's like that at home "PUT OUT THE BINNNNNNS" 😁
So excited to see Jen’s training and progress for Hyrox. As a woman following you for the motivation, jokes and dog content, having some female training content is going to make your channel even more cool!
I love how much Jen is screaming at you constantly to ‘run, run, run’. 🤣
Awesome to hear 😁 Only sticking Jen in for the extra views 😂😜
Just came across your channel. As a female, I might just subscribe to watch Jen's progress for motivation. You are also very much encouraging in every video. Thanks!
Crazy to think there's only a three month span between the first and second Hyrox! You really got after it in this training cycle Mark, cue the Charlie Sheen Navy Seals smash cut!
Amazing work Mark! I'm at the beginning of my journey... 38 and 18 stone. I did Hyrox in Manchester, tore my meniscus on the farmers' walk and finished 10th from bottom (2hs 12 mins)! I have set my sights on Manchester next year to be recovered and improve my time (I'm thinking 105mins). So pleased for you that you got on the podium. Your videos are a huge inspiration and it's such a great message to hear that we only have to be above average!
38! Youngster :))) Say Hi in Manchester!!! I expect you to be fighting fit by then!!
Good luck for next year!
Doing my first hyrox in april 2024 and your advice is great mark. Im 54 yrs old and very apprehensive
Jenna shouting RUN!! and "i want to get out of here" at the end 🤣🤣 make sure to cheer for her just as hard when she competes.
Hahaha your kid's text had me cracking up! Great race mate well done
love this channel. For many years I have just lifted weights 4 times a week with not much cardio. I have started training for the Hyrox Manchester event next year thanks to this channel.
I had a lot of work that had to be done, and I remembered the thumbnail of this video. I thought the "don't stop when your tired, stop when you are done" was such a powerful mindset in the right context and it made me highly motivated. Just wanted to share that even how you make thumbnail can make difference in someones day. Cheers!
I just signed up for my first Hyrox purely because of this video. Thankyou.
Your videos inspire me so much. My Parkrun PB yesterday was 27:53. Today, at a pacer event I obliterated it and came in at 26:08. At the 1.5km mark I was thinking to myself, "this is too fast." But I hunkered in and just kept going, hanging onto the back (about 5 metres away) of the 26 minute pacer. My goal was to get sub 27 minutes. The pacer stopped with 1km to go just before the slight hill, I think he injured himself. But I understood the pace and my watch said 21 something. I got about 200 metres out and looked down at my watch at saw it said 25 something. I was far too gassed to notice what the actual time was, but I thought to myself, "I might be able to get sub 26 here!" So I picked up the pace and absolutely caned it, overtaking about 15 people (my fastest pace recorded at 2:30/km). I honestly don't know where I pulled it out from, but my efforts meant that not only did I reach my goal of a sub 27, I absolutely smashed it and nearly got sub 26!
I wouldn't have even started running 4 months ago if it wasn't for you, let alone trying to set PBs. All I want to say is thank you 🙂.
Huge congratulations on taking that podium spot! And sincerest thanks to you for inspiring me to run my first actual race, a year after I decided it was time to finally get off the couch. I'm your age and managed a 10k in just under 55:00 (7th in AG), which I think is just this side of above average. Wouldn't have done it without this channel.
Dear Mark, I rarely comment on YT videos but I have to admit that I love your approach on how to improve in different disciplines, the journey and your scientific breakdown of the actual events. Keep going
Well done Mark. And not just for the achievements here. Well done for combining humour, fitness, filming & editing, scripting, motivating others, and putting it all together into a package that works. Extremely well.
Having the influential and gorgeous Mrs Mark bellowing at you across the hall is an added bonus 😀🍩
I am so appreciative of this video for a few reasons:
1. Your honesty with feeling defeated and trying to stay motivated when you knew you were going to fall short. Why? This weekend I had a goal to beat my co-worker’s 2019 half-marathon time. My theory was: maintain an 8:50 pace on my Garmin. Start with the 1:50 pace group, and if I never got passed by 1:55 group, I have succeeded. I did both of those, however my overall time on course measurement was an 8:56 pace, putting me at 1:56:58. Still OK but far off my goal of sub 1:55:30. Beating myself up now even though I wasn’t even sure I could COMPLETE a half back in January. 2. Bringing Jenna on as a “project”. I have ofter thought “I wish Mark would have recorded his progression”. It will be fun and helpful to watch someone in “real time” even though she has already done some pretty Above Average activities. 3. Lastly, don’t feel “guilty” to those who feel you have climbed too high. We must always look for something to aspire to. I believe your early struggles and I see your current heights as a bar to reach for. After all, I am 42 and doing half-marathons. By the time I reach your age, who knows😜
Very impressive. Pity about the burpees, but your son's sense of humour made up for that.
Crazy improvement in only three months! Fantastic tea towel too!
Also Jenna's shouts must have given you at least a minute and a half in total, well played!
LOL Mark!!! Firstly, Jenna is LEGEND. Can't wait to see her pull off the inevitable phoenix.
I think you performed great at Hyrox. Your training was dialed in. You had a very motivational goal. And based on Jenna's footage, and that bit of B-Roll at the end, you literally wrecked yourself and keep a fire lit. Absolutely fantastic job!! I don't know if this will help your running, but I'll offer it anyway; instead of having your arms at an L shape, and sort of swinging low with open hands, try a slightly V shaped arm, have your hands in a very relaxed, but open "fist" shape, and place your thumbnail between your first and middle finger. Then swing your arms to a height that places your thumbs just below your nipple line, and have your arm swing at an angle, so that your hands wind up (in the forward-most part of the swing) about inline with your ears/cheek bones. Hopefully that all makes sense. It's a more natural, relaxed, and much more efficient arm movement, and of course your hands are made to swing up higher on your body, the faster you are attempting to run. Your current arm swing is pretty stiff, not helping with knee lift, knee drive, and using muscle energy for not much benefit.
Please don't listen to the people crying because you're different from their mediocre, lazy asses. The same "noise" is heard here, all over the US, and it starts in the grade schools, with children putting other children down, who are better at something, be it art, music, athletics, scholastics, etc. It's magnified 10 fold in the high schools, and oh look...here it is on YT as well. Clearly, you have absolutely worked your ass off, in all manner of what it takes to transition from where you were, to where you are. You've been beating on yourself mentally and physically for over a decade, and you clearly are not dialing it back any time soon. You don't owe ANYONE an explanation for your success. I wish you WOULD go to Vegas-Baby, and just hit it hard. I think that would be a great finale to this current stage of fitness, and with a slight break/taper in training, and freshly schooled in how you can do the coarse better, I think you may legitimately hit a 67.
One last thing; If you haven't tried Liquid I.V. Energy Multiplier, and drop a couple magnesium tablets into it, you may find it worthy.
Been a few weeks since I watched it, but I still love the “empty classrooms” speech.
Bravo Mark - "no pain . . . run run run . . . " - if looks could kill . . .
Hi Mark, you are awesome. I’m currently 103.1kg up from 92kg this time last year. My last park run was also one year ago and I did it in 32mins. You inspired me to get out this morning and run 2.15miles and did that in 29mins. I nearly died. Thank you keep up the good work please.
I'm just pausing at 22:37 to congratulate you on a superb result. I don't care if someone beats you in the remaining time, you are truly inspirational. Your story has many parallels of my own and you inspire me to take it to the next level. Rock on dude.
PS Go Jen, you got this, whip his donut 🍩 ass 😁. exciting as I love going on this journey with my partner Charlotte.
From now on, I’ll have Jen’s voice shouting NO PAIN in the back of my head, when things start hurting 😅
Great video, huge inspiration! 🏋️♀️👍
Congrats Mark! Great content as always. Super excited to see the Jen 2.0 transformation as well! Will do my first Hyrox in Hamburg, all thanks to you. Will see you at the London event next year! NO PAIN! 🤣
Say Hi when you're there!
Same as me, i am looking forward to my first hyrox in hamburg
Dude, absolutely love your videos. You're such an inspiration to this 105kg, 50 year old! Enjoy your presenting & video style. And fair play to you for attempting the pro section later in the year. I used to be a competitive ballroom dancer (yes, I was a lot lighter then), and it was always annoying when the same people would turn up in the same category, winning, when they should have moved up to next category to allow others a chance.
Oh, and I understood all of your film references, and I say, go Will Smith! Also, love your jokes which make me smile.
As someone who has a concept 2 at home and has a decent grasp of the correct rowing technique, it's astonishing how many people completely botch any chance of being effective with their energy on the rowing machines. So many of those folks would do giant leaps in their time if they only watch one video on how to hold a proper form on the rower.
Good stuff, as always. What I enjoy most is the tactical discussions and post-mortem on what worked and didn't. Don't get too hung up on remaining true to the "above average" motto. Your fundamental point is just that to be at the pinnacle of a sport, you have to focus on it to the detriment of others, (apart from the ludicrous time commitment etc.) You are vastly above average at almost anything physical -- and still getting faster -- but this doesn't invalidate the point of your UA-cam videos. You still inspire people to compete, to compete seriously, and to be smart about it.
You know what? When I started watching your channel I thought 🤔. However the more I watch you the more I've come to realise that there's no shame in wanting to be above average. Not just on my fitness journey but in life generally! So thanks for the motivation! Keep up the good work!
'I'm a ok rower'... Might be the biggest understatement I've heard in a while. Well done big fella, super impressive numbers.
Nothing in this video that I don't like.... very well done. Can't wait to see Jen's progress too.
Anyone else run in London? Do your legs still hurt too? 😂 Bloody wall balls 🤮 To follow Jen's progress check out her BRAND NEW IG instagram.com/jenlewispics/
Not this time, but now thinking about racing next time in London. Any concerns about not having the specific equipment to train with, like ski erg, sled, rower?
"that kid is gone" love it :D great effort mark
Dude, the volunteering a time code to jump past for loyal viewers: love it. Wish more would do that.
Great video Mark, glad i got to share the Rower with you haha!
Great effort, thanks for the inspiration for us more "mature" people to get after it!
I had a coach yell: 'eye of the tiger' at me during a erg test...it was very confusing as he was Romanian, I was Irish and we were not boxing.
More importantly amazing work! Outstanding!
I do somewhat agree that you might be well above average. But more in the sense of preparation: you do some very specific things to prepare that most people wouldn't do. When I think of the average person I think of someone who does not put much thought into their triathlon transition for example. Whereas you (and myself too) are more the type of person to look up what people who are good at it, and try to get some gains there: open up your running shoes, mount shoes to bike, lay helmet down on its top .. etc.
Man, you are an inspiration! Funny, strong and humble! You are my second online "sport-guru". Thank you for all these videos you do. Peace!
Properly laughed at your sons text. 🤣🤣🤣 Great video! Loved this.
5'10" 260+
Been running for a few weeks. I watch your videos after every run. Thanks for the motivation.
Love that Jen’s getting involved. I was heading towards a 30min Parkrun but then got out of the habit of running- should be some good motivation to get back at it.
So happy the hydration pack worked out for you! My attempt at using one at HYROX NYC was an absolute disaster! Was worried when you said you were going for it! Great work man! Keep continuing to inspire! Sad I have to miss the second HYROX NYC this year because I’m opting to take on the spartan ultra instead. Next year tho!
What happened when you attempted to use it at NYC?
@@crackerbarreIkid55 I think my problem was I didn’t train with it. Just tried to use it in the race and it ended up getting in my way. I tossed it to my wife in my crowd at about a third of the way through. Was also a cheaper vest. Now I have a Solomon which I think would have made a huge difference because it doesn’t move or bounce and just hugs your body
Great video, looking forward to seeing the Mrs getting stuck in. Best wishes to her. 👍👏👏
Yesss!!! I’m excited to see Jenna’s journey, I’ve never been able to crack 30mins, I’m always about 30seconds off. Can’t wait to watch!!! Congrats on the tea towel!!!
So half way through this video I thought sod it, and signed myself up for Manchester 28/1/23.
I, like you, am a former “plump” individual, and now revel in being a sweaty mess after a good, honest workout - as opposed to my larger days where I would revel in…well…a bag of revels…. - but I’ve never done an event like this before, so I’m looking forward to testing myself. Thank you for all the work you do. Your videos are inspiring, motivating and realistic.
Only annoying thing is I got carried away in excitement when I booked it, and completely forgot to use the discount code - oh well 😒
As a fellow tall dude (6’7” / 2 Meters) you’re inspiring me to get out there and do more races/events that aren’t ideal for those with our size. (And hopefully I can drop the extra 20lbs I’m carrying around in the process).
Thanks for the great content, honesty, and inspiration.
Cheers
Always been relatively fit. Had surgery 10 years ago leaving me with a new Aorta and a mechanical heart value. Carried on but lately been missing something. Found and followed your channel. Watched this and have signed up for Hydrox Manchester and picking out a Limitless Trails. So thank you Mark.
Congratulations! Awesome idea switching the narrative to Jen. Can’t wait to watch that content.
So excited to see Jennas journey!
Congrats on the podium finish! Come on Jen 2.0!
I loved this video!!! I think it was the best Hyrox video that I've seen for those, like me who are 46+ and will be doing it for the first time. Great Job! Keep it up, you look great.
Earned a sub for me this was entertaining. Well done on the 2nd place!!
Epic rundown of the event Mark! My mate was competing in the same wave as you so I was shouting some encouragement towards both of you as you ran past. You looked smooth and controlled the whole way round, great work 👍🏼👍🏼
Thanks for the inspiration! I got a Wahoo Kickr Bike in February because of you (also I'm a runner in Canada a was getting annoyed with running outside in the winter). I'm going to do a vEveresting attempt this Friday. I will be watching some more of your videos then to pass the time. Thanks for the encouragement!!!!
I did a 12hr mountain bike yesterday starting at 0200am. Your ‘this is our classroom’ comment on 4x4x48 got me out of bed and through most of the day. This video - great effort you looked and sounded genuinely excited for the next adventure!!
Congratulations Mark! What a result with 2nd place and 5 minute improvement. 💪👍
You have totally inspired me. Just booked for London in November!
This video is sooo helpfull for anyone who want to do a hyrox as well! Thank you!
Great job Mark. Let's just not notice that will Mark is above average at a lot of fitness thing... he's only a tick or two below elite for a rower at his age group. Holy cow! Strong Rower.
Thank you so much. I'm doing my first Hyrox in Chicago in November. This was the best video and the most informative for my first race. Nice work by the way!!!!
Great stuff, looking forward to seeing Jen's journey.
Started watching your channel a couple of months ago, initially by chance - we took in a stray dog and somehow UA-cam realized we now had a dog and suggested a video of one of your Nixon park runs. It inspired me to take up running again after about 10 years of being pretty inactive, and I also switched to a vegan diet 6 weeks ago after seeing your take on it.
Love the content, great mix of straightforward info (without taking things too seriously), plus excellent parenting advice!
At least you didn't go from Robocop to Robocop 2! Great video as always guys
Your kid’s joke absolutely got me. Hilarious.
I started training 2 years ago when i started getting out of breathe just walking up the stairs in my house. I join a crossfit gym 6 weeks ago and now I've decided to give hyrox a go. I didn't know when to sign up for it because I didn't think id be fit enough. After watching this video I think I'll target the November event in England. Your advice on here is great and will take it on board. Thank you
Love ya content mate, 10-12km max runner here, motivated me this Monday to not look at distance and just run to a time, going to start pushing my distance outside my comfort zone. Thanks pal from Australia
I’ve been looking forward to this, seeing how you get. You did absolutely bloody brilliant, can’t wait for chapter 3 of the hyrox series, well done 👍👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Jenna’s encouragements at the end is the best. Legend! :)
Running my first Hyrox in 5 days, about 140 days after learning what Hyrox even is. Won't come even close to your times but I'm crossing that damned finish line.
Bloody brilliant. Love it Mark keep smashing it.
Great video, the narration is on point. The highlight by far is the message from your kid, that boy is going places.
Whoo-hoo, family domination time! Congrats on your commitment, Jen, all the best for your journey!!!
Nice work my dude! I love your message, it keeps me coming back and watching every video you make. Today I reached a milestone on my fitness journey, I was “category enforced” on Zwift, I am now a solid C category rider. Next is getting restricted from C group.
congrats on your achievement, looking forward to your next race
The points about you being above above average only suggest that they haven’t been following you for a long time. You consistently put yourself out of your comfort zone and train accordingly. Great to see that your fitness levels are improving dramatically.
Signed up for my first hyrox in London in May thanks to your vids ❤
My dad linked me one of ur videos the other week, and I was like ah yes I watch his stuff, good choice!
congrats on the podium finish, im doing my first park run this saturday at albert park in melbourne. one day im going to get on that podium
Great recap and pointers! Gratitude!
Mark, your videos are easily up there with the most interesting fitness content on UA-cam. Well done and keep going, loving the content and bad jokes.
Great working. On it and think you did good on saving the energy and the water.
Super excited to follow Jenna's journey! The Mountain trail race with her was really inspiring and relatable. Grats on 2nd!
Congratulations Mark. Job well done and great video.
What a fantastic overview of the event! Moreover, as someone who has just completed his 3rd training session in the gym after a 30 year break LOL It was inspirational to watch this video, not to mention the others over the last few years. Keep up the great work, as will I. Bye for now, Alex :)
Well done Mark, I think you set a really good example for people to aspire to work towards. Very inspiring 🙌🏻
Well done Mark. Hopefully see you at MCR and LON 2022 at the end of the year, early next
Mark your channel is significantly above average in many ways. I had been looking forward to this video and it didn't disappoint. Superb. Thanks.
Great to hear!
Congrats Mark, brilliant run. My friend Adam was the guy who came in ahead of you and it shows why hyrox is so good imho, all his runs were sub-4 mins but his exercises were slow, and yet you were within a few seconds at the end. Great event! See you at Birmingham.
You’re normally always honest but nooooooo way you’re happy with 2nd by 20 seconds 😂 outstanding effort. 👏👏
Wow! Incredible work Mark! Your pacing was perfection and the temptation of that first place must be biting your heals.
Jenna was absolutely gold, having your other half cheering you on makes such a difference.
Really can't wait for the pairs events. Very exciting times ahead.
Enjoy those podium doughnuts mate.
Fantastic result Mark. All your hard work paid off . Congratulations.
This is awesome Mark. Well deserved podium. 👍
I did my first triathlon last week (Olympic distance) and have turned to some of your past videos for inspiration. I am planning to do a half Ironman in February and full Ironman in May 2023. 😊
I’m glad I found your channel. It was originally for an Apple Watch review but I saw your Hyrox content and kept watching. The Miami competition is in October and I am hoping I will be in attendance.
Really like your positive message of trying to do better for yourself via fitness and sharing your journey. I've done various sports throughout my life and always struggled with weight. I'm now down 55lbs since last August and 2 half marathons into the year with lots of goals this year and the coming years. Your journey and message is inspiring as someone who has renewed enthusiasm for fitness again. Cheers!
Also love the dog content! May need to add a dedicated channel 😜😂🐶
Way to go Mark, again this video showcases what average people can do with training and the right mindset.
Great and motivating closing remarks about 'above average'. Keep on going!
This is so helpful and relatable, thank you! Doing my first Hyrox in Birmingham next month.
