Fuel and Recovery for Your Next Hyrox, Marathon, or Race with Dr Sean Roberts
Signed up for the hyrox in December? Or maybe you’ve got a marathon, triathlon, or other race circled on the calendar? Let’s talk about how your nutrition and recovery should change along with your training!
I’m joined by Sean Roberts, Chiropractor and Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist in Woodinville, Washington. Sean is not only a chiropractor, but also an avid F45 member and has completed many events over the years. He’s been seeing an increase in the number of injuries leading up to competition day in his patients, and hopefully we can help shed some light on how you might need to change your life so you stay healthy!
What HYROX actually is: 1 km runs paired with functional workout stations (sled pushes, farmer carries, wall balls, etc.), repeated eight times. Even if you’re not doing HYROX, these tips apply to other events like marathons, obstacle races, or any big fitness goal where your body is being pushed hard.
Topics Covered:
Changing your movements to avoid injury
The role of protein and carbs in your workouts
Timing your nutrition around your training
Hydration & electrolytes
Race-day nutrition.
Changing your goals: weight loss vs. performance
Recovery strategies: sleep, rest days, and active recovery that actually helps.
