An athlete training for a half Ironman with her boyfriend explains the shift to running-focused workouts with less joint impact. She's still planning to compete in a HYROX event in February while balancing both goals.
Yeah, you mentioned you're gonna do a triathlon, which is awesome. Um, are you gonna go back to CrossFit, do you think?
Yeah, I think I will. Um, I'm planning— I did some HYROX-type workouts, um, probably more in the springtime or so. Um, but my, my boyfriend and I are currently training for a half Ironman, and so kind of pivoting to try that out. And it's a little bit less impact. I mean, there's a lot of running, but a little bit less impact. So Um, that's been a nice transition and just a change of mentals, but I'm planning on doing a HYROX in February as long as all goes well too.
