Rhys Harries Fitness Coaching

Felt like two hambons hitting London and trying to navigate everything to do a fitness race we qualified for called deadly dozen. Twelve 400m runs, and twelve exercises. 40mins of focus and intensity. A global event so this was their version of a world championships.

We were in the 40+ category and surprised ourselves with a third place finish. Back in January I told one of the boys whilst sitting in Greggs, drinking A star coffee, that I had a goal to pick up one of these flags. Today the collection begins 🙂

Thanks to all who came to do the summer fitness competition. Grateful for those who helped out with some judging and to those who came to support, and finally thanks you Jake EV Wales who made the medals.

Time to move on from the hot box so it was a fitting way to end with massive efforts and some drinks to end a great day 🙂

More Hyrox yesterday. Position was 4th. Absolutely loving racing, even with young kids and mediocre expectations because no one really cares how good you are. It’s good to remember that. I’ve spent twenty years racing and I still love it. I’ve enjoyed longer endurance challenges but they feel “too much” with young kids. This has filled my void immensely and I’m enjoying meeting new people from different sporting backgrounds. I train 30-60mins 5-6 days a week. Sounds a lot to some but it isn’t a lot when you’ve spent years doing long distance events, as it used to be double that. Don’t really miss that I’ll be honest. There’s too many other good things happening in life for me to be overly detailed or committed to training. Don’t let that fool you to think I’ll give you an easy time mind!

When are we racing again 😆💪

We are having a little summer competition at RHFC. I have about four spaces remaining. If it takes your interest send me a message

Yes, the poster is chat gbt 😜

Special shout out to Sara who raced in the European age group championships in duathlon today. She picked up a silver medal. Absolutely fantastic to see reward for a lot of work 🙂💪

Hyrox full send. These races are going from strength to strength. The level keeps improving. Had a good blast on Saturday then Sunday with the event offering half the run it opened more doors for opportunity. Great to see some people getting stuck in and some others doing it for the first time. My wife was our man of the match 😂 getting another competition done to good level not long after having our second child.

Noa just wanted to go on the bouncy castle or play race then after his first Fanta experience he was popping out burpee broad jumps and lunges and wanted to take his top off. I said “don’t start that last one boy” 😆

Maybe Fanta is the secret performance weapon 😆❤️

Da iawn pawb, great weekend and it was great to see a couple doing the long course weekend and a big hike called the mighty hike.
Love events, love all events. Monster ones, short ones, multiport whatever, but love these gym ones like Hyrox . They are accessible, you can do them paired if you want, you can do events without running and it gives some purpose to strength work at times, and you don’t need to do extreme amounts of training to complete. To win is like any other sport . It takes a lot, but you can come last and technically win if you look at it in the right way 🙂
