We’re going to do a Triathalon?? AND Hattie is locked in for Birmingham Hyrox

In Episode 6 of the Gregor and Hattie Podcast, the pair catch up after another packed week of Hyrox events, travel, training, and building Race the Frame.

Gregor shares stories from Berlin, where he spent 24 hours creating content at one of the biggest Hyrox events in the world, while Hattie reveals she's officially signed up for Hyrox Birmingham with her friend Emily. That means the start of a brand-new training journey, complete with testing sessions, coaching plans, and Gregor's questionable workout programming.

They also rank every Hyrox station from best to worst, debate the toughest challenges on race day, and discuss how Hattie plans to transform herself into a fully-fledged "hybrid athlete" over the next five months.

Plus, they tease a special guest for next week's episode - someone obsessed with performance, recovery, sleep optimisation, and every fitness hack imaginable.

Whether you're training for your first Hyrox, already addicted to endurance events, or just enjoy listening to two people navigate fitness, business, and life together, this episode has something for you.

No, that's still quite hot.

SPEAKER_01 1:36

Do they stand outside or not?

SPEAKER_00 1:37

Yeah, yeah. No, you're all in and out. So like the indoor bit where the stations are, that feels like a bit of a greenhouse.

SPEAKER_01 1:43

I think I'd just be watching you run outside and I was spectating that.

SPEAKER_00 1:46

Yeah. It's it's a really cool venue. So it's basically like in a hangar, but like uh You said that, I don't know what that is. Like an airport hanger. So like the stations like a where the planes get kept. Hangar.

SPEAKER_01 1:59

Oh, is it?

SPEAKER_00 2:00

Yeah. I think that's what it's called anyway. Hope so. Otherwise I'm wrong.

SPEAKER_01 2:04

Um Did someone else tell you that and you just look on with it? No!

SPEAKER_00 2:08

I just knew that. Okay. Um yeah, so the runs are outside and then the stations are inside the hangar, and then you But like when you check in and stuff, like you're actually like checking in for your phone. That looked cool. It's pretty cool. That did look cool. But you're not, you're just checking in to like send it around a track. Yeah. That's really cool. Was it busy? Yeah. 35,000 people over the whole time.

SPEAKER_01 2:32

Is that a busier weekend or was there just two weekends?

SPEAKER_00 2:35

Don't know. I guess it would have been the bank holiday. So the one that's just gone. Because a lot of the lot of UK people go there. What days was it? Friday, Saturday. Friday, Saturday, Sunday.

SPEAKER_01 2:45

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 2:46

SPEAKER_01 2:51

Oh, so it's actually just both weekends?

SPEAKER_00 2:52

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 2:53

So you're just there every single day, it's on.

SPEAKER_00 2:56

Yeah. But that was really cool. Made content for Race to Frame. Um, found a guy. He actually came up to me and he was just like, oh, he like recognises me from Race to Frame. And I was like, I had a good chat with him. He turned around and his bag was like the most impressive bag. But I already said to him, I was like, if you come find us, because my mate's about to race, if you come find us, I'll give you a key ring. But when he turned around, I was like in awe of his bag. Like his bag was like he had like 21 patches on there.

SPEAKER_01 3:23

Well, like five. Didn't you have loads of um was it like the wool ball? Yeah. Unbroken.

SPEAKER_00 3:28

The unbroken wall balls, you had like five of them. You just asked for one. I haven't got one of them. I know, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 3:35

Well, thing is, if you don't Do you have to be in singles though to get unbroken?

SPEAKER_00 3:38

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 3:39

Yeah, see that's that's hard.

SPEAKER_00 3:41

Brutal. So to get unbroken.

SPEAKER_01 3:42

I was doing 20 wool balls yesterday and I I think I broke.

SPEAKER_00 3:46

When? After five?

SPEAKER_01 3:47

No, no, did we? One of them I did do all 20, but then after one, like towards the end, I did ten and then I did ten.

SPEAKER_00 3:53

Yeah, fair. That's good though. Also, my coach gave me a savage workout to do. It was gonna be like in all in in all with like the warm-up, it would have been two hours long. But I I gave it to sort of like I was like, Hattie, do this.

SPEAKER_01 4:08

Because it looked it didn't look that bad, but then I then you put repeat ten times.

SPEAKER_00 4:13

It would have taken you, but we did obviously reduce the the weight and we reduced the distance of everything. I think you were doing like um I remixed what you gave me anyway. You remixed it again. Yeah, you know, fair. I mean it was pretty brutal. I did a remix, so that was fun. Um then what else have we got up to?

SPEAKER_01 4:32

This week. Yeah. So you got back from Berlin Friday, yeah, Saturday, we went to a triathlon.

SPEAKER_00 4:40

Oh yeah. First ever triathlon.

SPEAKER_01 4:43

Not to do it.

SPEAKER_00 4:43

No, we didn't do it. But I wish I I honestly wish I did, but just I liked the look of the relay. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 4:49

Because that was like 20 minutes per person. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 4:52

Team of four.

SPEAKER_01 4:52

Team of four.

SPEAKER_00 4:53

You have to swim, bike, and run. Everyone has to do that. Yeah. But once you've done all three, you come off the run and you tag the next person. Yeah. And then the person just like runs down the slope, dives into the water.

SPEAKER_01 5:03

Yeah, it doesn't. And I think it was a the day made it look nicer, probably to do that. It was a sunny day. Like I think I would be a a good weather triathlete.

SPEAKER_00 5:11

Yeah, definitely. Oh, dunno. I do want to do that. I just need to get in the water. That's all I need to do.

SPEAKER_01 5:16

We are gonna give it a go though, aren't we?

SPEAKER_00 5:18

Like, because they were even saying like open water swim, right? So compared to the pool, you obviously have your lanes, you stay in your lanes, but apparently, open water you can just kind of drift off to the right and like kind of not notice. Yeah. And the next thing you know, you're just going in the complete wrong direction. Yeah. It's just so like normal to happen.

SPEAKER_01 5:33

See how that happens though? Because when they were doing it, they did their one lap and then they started coming to the wrong exit, and everyone was shouting at them, like go there, go there, go there, and they couldn't hear it, they just carried on.

SPEAKER_00 5:43

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 5:43

It's like you're just I don't know what you see when you're doing it.

SPEAKER_00 5:46

Yeah, yeah. But we're definitely gonna do that. So we actually um worked at an ATW event. Um they do loads. I'm pretty sure they even do like Well, you did their 10K Yeah, in St. Orbans. Um really, really cool events. I absolutely love them. So we're doing we're gonna have our race of the frame stall there now, which is exciting. Um, so we're gonna be able to print photos when the people f um the athletes finish, and then we can also put it in a frame with their medal.

SPEAKER_02 6:10

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 6:10

They look really cool, the medal frames, don't they?

SPEAKER_01 6:12

They did look cool, yeah.

SPEAKER_00 6:13

And the medal that they were offering them all their medals look really good. So that's gonna be very, very exciting. That's a new venture for us.

SPEAKER_01 6:20

Yeah, that is exciting. It's nice to be outside doing it actually.

SPEAKER_00 6:23

Yeah, we had good weather though.

SPEAKER_01 6:25

We did have good weather.

SPEAKER_00 6:26

Anything we had is a t-shirt tan. That's a bit funny.

SPEAKER_01 6:30

Yeah. You had a worse one than me, actually, because you were all you were outside taking the pictures.

SPEAKER_00 6:35

I know. But that was really fun. And then we then had to sort our t-shirt tan out, didn't we?

SPEAKER_01 6:42

Yeah, so came back Sunday night.

SPEAKER_00 6:44

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 6:44

And then went to the room.

SPEAKER_00 6:46

Knacker, there is a l- it's it's a lot of work, isn't it?

SPEAKER_01 6:48

I feel like we did something in the afternoon on Sunday. Did we just go to the gym maybe?

SPEAKER_00 6:53

Yeah, we trained.

SPEAKER_01 6:54

Oh, you went to the gym, I was locked out of the house.

SPEAKER_00 6:57

So you I dropped myself. That's what happened. We drove to David Lloyd straight away because I was like, Oh, I just want to just train. I need to train, because obviously we didn't I went for a run in the morning, but I I needed to train again. So I went to David Lloyd and then Hattie's on our way home.

SPEAKER_01 7:12

So we dri I drove Greg, it was like a two-hour drive back, and I was I drove for an hour, and Greg we were gonna split the drive. So Greg was like, I'll drive now if you want, I'll drive now. And I was like, Oh, it's alright, I'll keep going for a bit. I went and there was about 30 minutes left.

SPEAKER_00 7:28

40.

SPEAKER_01 7:29

No, that was about 30 by the time we actually swapped. And Greg was like, Yeah, yeah, I'll drive, I'll drive. And I was thinking, it was only 30 minutes left, and I could probably just do it. But we swapped, and then he like 10 minutes into it, he goes, I'm just gonna drive straight to David Lloyd's, and then you can just drive home from there. I was like, You've definitely just switched so that you could drive straight there.

SPEAKER_00 7:48

I did, I did, yeah, because I just said that to me, I'd go, absolutely not, yeah, and you'd be like, No, I'm not doing that, and I'd be like, Oh, but let me go. Yeah. So I just thought, I just dropped him off.

SPEAKER_01 7:57

So I took him there, dropped him off, drove back home. He's double we so we've got like two locks on our front door. He's double locked the door and kept the the double locker key with him, and I've got the other key, so I couldn't get in the house. Yeah, and then I'd have to drive. It was like a 20-minute drive back.

SPEAKER_00 8:12

And yeah, we were both like, Yeah, that would have really like done my head in.

SPEAKER_01 8:16

Yeah, especially as I I had flip-flops on and I wanted to go to the gym.

SPEAKER_00 8:20

Yeah, you plumber. So I didn't go to the phone. Your plum was to go to the gym, wasn't it? Yeah, but you you just couldn't because you're locked in. Sorry about that. I do feel quite bad.

SPEAKER_01 8:28

You didn't.

SPEAKER_00 8:29

I did.

SPEAKER_01 8:29

Did you?

SPEAKER_00 8:30

Oh yeah, I did. I actually felt really terrible, but there's not much I could do because I had the key.

SPEAKER_01 8:33

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 8:34

It's one of them.

SPEAKER_01 8:34

So that was that, and I just went to your mum's. Went to my mum's and which was nice, I bet. Yeah, it was nice, but I did want to go to the gym.

SPEAKER_00 8:42

Fair. So yeah, that was Sunday anyway. And then anyway, I took you to David Lloyd, didn't I? And you sunbathed to make up for it because that was the day after, because you weren't.

SPEAKER_01 8:51

That was on Monday, sorting our timelines out.

SPEAKER_00 8:52

Yeah, and we sorted them out, alright. Can I just say as well, if you have a David Lloyd membership, they are insanely busy in the summer. Like that pool area, it was like fight for a sunbed.

SPEAKER_01 9:07

Oh, yeah, I was lying on the floor for half the day.

SPEAKER_00 9:08

Yeah, crazy. Like, I I mean it's always gonna be like that. I think the scene, even like the Lido, I bet it's like that.

SPEAKER_01 9:15

Yeah. Well, the Lido, it is just floor, I think.

SPEAKER_00 9:17

Yeah. Because we just don't have pools in this country. Yeah. So as soon as we everyone's gonna go there. Everyone's gonna go there. Like, even when I invited you as a guest in the morning, luckily I did it because an hour later, cut off, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 9:31

I did think it was gonna be a bit more chill. There was a lot of noodle fights going on in the pool.

SPEAKER_00 9:35

Not noodle fights for the kids. I know, yeah. And a lot of bobbing. I was sleeping, and then all of a sudden I just had this girl just keep like jumping in and just getting me wet. Jumping in and getting me wet. Jumping in and getting me wet. And then I ended up waking up and I was just soaked.

SPEAKER_01 9:47

Yeah. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 9:48

Then she's like, come out. She was really pleasant, she was really cute though. She was like, sorry for getting you wet. Um I'm gonna continue. I'm gonna continue. I was like, fair. Lisa said sorry. Yeah. That was quite funny.

SPEAKER_01 9:59

She's really we've got gorgeous tans.

SPEAKER_00 10:02

SPEAKER_00 10:09

So we're gonna be working today in the flat. In the heat.

SPEAKER_01 10:13

Yeah, it's really nice in here actually.

SPEAKER_00 10:14

Yeah, I like I like Aircon. Yeah, it's good.

SPEAKER_01 10:17

Probably, yeah.

SPEAKER_00 10:18

Do you know what if we just have a let's just have a conversation all day?

SPEAKER_01 10:22

Yeah, just chat. As long as we keep talking, we're allowed in here.

SPEAKER_00 10:24

SPEAKER_01 10:26

Let's add some more to our notes.

SPEAKER_00 10:28

Yeah. Then what else did we do? Yes, that was our week. That was our week. And then let me have a look. Why am I holding my phone?

SPEAKER_01 10:35

And then guess what? This week we've got another crazy week.

SPEAKER_00 10:37

Yeah. But we'll tell you about that next week. Because it's always crazy.

SPEAKER_01 10:41

Yeah, tune in next week.

SPEAKER_00 10:42

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 10:43

Yeah, let's make this one about me.

SPEAKER_00 10:44

Okay, we'll talk about you. Go on then, ask me a question. What have you booked last week?

SPEAKER_01 10:50

What have I booked?

SPEAKER_00 10:51

What have you booked last week?

SPEAKER_01 10:52

I have booked drum roll. Hi Rox!

SPEAKER_00 10:56

In Birmingham. Birmingham. It's exciting.

SPEAKER_01 10:59

Yeah, that is really exciting. I am actually really excited.

SPEAKER_00 11:01

And it's not with me.

SPEAKER_01 11:02

And it's not with you.

SPEAKER_00 11:03

Girl, your best mate.

SPEAKER_01 11:05

Yeah, it's with my friend Emily, who I was saying, I think it was last week that I was gonna try and convince her.

SPEAKER_00 11:11

I didn't think she needed to be a good one.

SPEAKER_01 11:12

I didn't actually convince her, I didn't actually need to. She messaged me the night before saying, by the way, are we doing it? I really actually do want to do the high rock. So I was like, okay, perfect, I'll book it then tomorrow. That's gonna be good. I've got it.

SPEAKER_00 11:21

That's gonna be good for really easily.

SPEAKER_01 11:23

I I was in there within two minutes, I think, to get the tickets.

SPEAKER_00 11:26

You are gonna love that. It's way nicer. It'll be good when it's like similar ability.

SPEAKER_01 11:32

Yeah. I think it's gonna be way, way better than doing it with you.

SPEAKER_00 11:35

Hopefully you'll hopefully you'll come out of that and be like, you'll see like how much of achievement it is when it you are similar ability because you've actually got to dig deep.

SPEAKER_01 11:46

I digged deep in ours.

SPEAKER_00 11:49

Okay, the first one I 100% agree with.

SPEAKER_01 11:52

Yeah, the second one I was I was injured.

SPEAKER_00 11:54

I don't know what you were doing on the second one.

SPEAKER_01 11:55

I was injured and I didn't want to be there.

SPEAKER_00 11:57

You know, it's one of them, like you've paid money to be there.

SPEAKER_01 11:59

Like we booked it the week before, I had no training.

SPEAKER_00 12:02

What a waste of money.

SPEAKER_01 12:03

But anyway, yeah, so this is exciting, this one.

SPEAKER_00 12:06

But can't we say on the second one we got a way worse time?

SPEAKER_01 12:09

Yeah, because I was in I had a I rolled my ankle the night before.

SPEAKER_00 12:12

Oh yeah. Of course you do.

SPEAKER_01 12:14

I walked most of it.

SPEAKER_00 12:16

Yeah, fair. That's why, yeah. Yeah, I kept walking. Okay, I'll let you off.

SPEAKER_01 12:21

Fair. Yeah, thank you.

SPEAKER_00 12:22

But we yeah.

SPEAKER_01 12:23

It was only four minutes left as I do you think time-wise you're gonna get with Emily.

SPEAKER_00 12:28

What's your goal? What would what would you like to have? We got an hour fifteen, and then we got an hour eleven.

SPEAKER_01 12:33

No, we got an hour eleven, and then we got an hour fifteen. Yeah. So we got worse actually.

unknown 12:38

I know.

SPEAKER_01 12:39

Um I don't I don't honestly, I don't mind. I just want to do it. What do you think?

SPEAKER_00 12:46

I think sub one hour thirty would be wicked for you both.

SPEAKER_01 12:50

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 12:51

That'd be really, really good.

SPEAKER_01 12:53

Yeah. I think I'm gonna be doing more of the stations because I've spoken to Emily about it and she said she struggles with wall balls hitting the target.

SPEAKER_00 13:03

That's gonna hurt you.

SPEAKER_01 13:04

Yeah, that's gonna hurt. You've got to do the maturity of the wall balls and slap like she struggles with the weights.

SPEAKER_00 13:10

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 13:10

But she's got five months to train.

SPEAKER_00 13:12

Yeah, you've got a long time. So we're basically gonna get Hattie to use pro weight from the from the get-go. Yeah. But like just not that many reps and not that many meters of everything. We're just gonna start low and we're gonna build it up for you.

SPEAKER_01 13:27

Um this is my coach talking.

SPEAKER_00 13:29

Yeah, so we're basically just gonna kind of go in because if you are gonna do the majority of the exercises, we're gonna go in with the heavier stuff. So then we're, you know, maybe like three weeks to a month out, we're then put the lighter weights in that you're actually gonna be using.

SPEAKER_01 13:43

Well, what weights was I using yesterday?

SPEAKER_00 13:44

Six kg ball. You were using men's sled push as well.

SPEAKER_01 13:50

Yeah, so that is pro weight then. Yes, pro weight, yeah. So that was fine. Yeah. I think I'm actually quite good at sled push.

SPEAKER_00 13:56

But and you found the six kg ball ball, you've like not too bad.

SPEAKER_01 14:00

I think I've only ever done it with six kilograms.

SPEAKER_00 14:02

Yeah, fair. Because when obviously we've done it together. So yeah, that four or that's what I mean. You train harder, it just will be easier.

SPEAKER_01 14:09

Yeah, I don't think I've actually ever done women's weights.

SPEAKER_00 14:11

No. But yeah, I think it is important to like come back to.

SPEAKER_01 14:15

Maybe I'll train with men's pro.

SPEAKER_00 14:17

What nine? Wait, that nine.

SPEAKER_01 14:20

No, I picked that up by accident yesterday. And I think that's a good one. Because we're doing the wall balls in the same area, weren't we?

SPEAKER_00 14:24

Yeah, you're split it and gone.

SPEAKER_01 14:26

And a six and a nine looks quite similar, so I kicked I picked it up and I was like That's not right. That's not me.

SPEAKER_00 14:32

It's heavy, isn't it?

SPEAKER_01 14:33

That is heavy, like disgustingly heavy. Yeah, but for you in comparison, I feel like that's fine.

SPEAKER_00 14:37

Yeah, but it's still like a huge step up. It's even oh I mean six for you is a huge step up. Yeah, it's a similar four, five, six. So that's a two kg increase. And then six, seven, eight, nine. Ours is a three kg in uh increase. Right. Obviously, yours is I don't know, one kg more, buddy. Heavy.

SPEAKER_01 14:57

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 14:57

So yeah, we're gonna get you to just train heavier but not like long sessions. Then we're just gonna build it up.

SPEAKER_01 15:04

Well, I just think the main thing I need to do is running, to be honest.

SPEAKER_00 15:08

Yeah. So what are we doing?

SPEAKER_01 15:10

But even since the the the first tie rocks we did, my running has improved since then, even though I haven't done it recently, but it has definitely improved since then, because that Gymshark run that Gymshark um thing we did, yeah. My running was fine in that.

SPEAKER_00 15:26

Mate, wicked.

SPEAKER_01 15:27

Felt fine.

SPEAKER_00 15:27

Kind of dumb my head in a bit. I was like, why couldn't you run like that?

SPEAKER_01 15:30

Yeah, I was ahead of you.

SPEAKER_00 15:31

Mate, you were flying.

SPEAKER_01 15:32

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 15:33

But anyway, that was that.

SPEAKER_01 15:36

Um then today we're doing sounds awful what we're doing today. Testing. Yeah, sounds absolutely horrendous.

SPEAKER_00 15:42

So we're gonna put Hattie through various tests. You've done your 5k. What did you get in your 5k?

SPEAKER_01 15:47

25 minutes something.

So can I have a Hyrux workout to do? Just like get me into it, like ease me in. He went, Yeah, yeah, of course. You can just do what me and Jordan are doing, but like a little bit more adapted to you. So I thought, okay, fine, he knows what he's doing, he'll ease me into it, whatever. It was a 600 meter run, ski erg 250 metres. What after that? Woolbulls 20, said push one length, ski erg again for some reason, 250 metres.

I didn't realise, I kept going back to the run and I thought I'd supposed to rest now.

SPEAKER_00 17:24

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 17:24

So mate, I'm like this is where the remix came in, because sometimes I did the run and then I rested.

SPEAKER_00 17:30

Oh right, that's when you remix.

SPEAKER_01 17:31

So I remixed it like that because I forgot and I forgot to do the said push a couple times.

SPEAKER_00 17:35

How would you forget to rest like that's my goal is like to get to the rest of it?

SPEAKER_01 17:40

Yeah, I just kept forgetting. But anyway, so it was that, and then he went, so that so you'll do that, just do it ten times. I was like, Oh, just do it ten times then. I got to my fifth round.

SPEAKER_00 17:48

But when I was doing when I was doing our workout with my friend, it I was like, Oh my god, we've just done one round and it's taken ten minutes.

SPEAKER_01 17:55

I got to my fifth round and I'd been doing it for like an hour and twenty minutes. I thought this is gonna be a good one. I'm not doing it, I'm not doing another five. So I kept it.

SPEAKER_00 18:02

SPEAKER_00 20:10

SPEAKER_01 20:12

Because that's exactly what you're like. We're getting ready in the morning and I'm stressed about something, you go, Hattie, this day's not about you, it's about me.

SPEAKER_00 20:18

Yeah, but you do make the you do try and start the day, like you try and cause an issue, and it's like no, I do. I don't need this today. I'm trying to I'm trying to get zoned in.

SPEAKER_01 20:26

Yeah. And we'll get there and I'll say, Oh, I just need to go to the toilet quick. Hattie, no, we need to go here because it's not about you.

SPEAKER_00 20:31

No, no, you're making me sound terrible right now. That's not what I do. You have started having a sissy fit in the morning.

SPEAKER_01 20:37

A sissy fit?

SPEAKER_00 20:38

Yeah, about some random stuff maybe to do with your eyebrows aren't right, or some or some annoying. It's just annoying. So I'm just like, it's not about you, it's about me. Just let me get into that.

SPEAKER_01 20:47

Or I'll say, uh Greg, I just need to do my makeup quickly. I can't make your lunch for you. It's about me.

SPEAKER_00 20:55

This has never happened. You're making away.

SPEAKER_01 20:57

What would you put in a high rock starter pack if you for like so for me? I've obviously got a few things, but if I was just going straight into Hyrux now, doing my first race, I didn't have anything. What would you say are the essentials that I should buy? I would say Xamily's gonna need this.

SPEAKER_00 21:12

Electrolytes. I would say race fit, because you want to feel good.

SPEAKER_01 21:18

New outfit. New outfit. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 21:20

You want to feel good. Trust me, if you feel good on that start line, you'll be flying.

SPEAKER_01 21:23

Oh yeah. And a good outfit makes you train harder.

SPEAKER_00 21:26

Gels. I love a gel. I take mine after the pool.

SPEAKER_01 21:30

Pool?

SPEAKER_00 21:31

Yeah, the pool. And also the row. Take two. Yeah. Um, I would also say.

SPEAKER_01 21:38

I struggle to open the gels.

SPEAKER_00 21:40

Yeah, when you're sweaty, it's actually a mission. You have to use your teeth.

SPEAKER_01 21:43

Yeah, and I don't want to break my teeth.

SPEAKER_00 21:44

Um, I would also say lots of water. I would say if you can, and it's not too expensive, get a coach.

SPEAKER_01 21:52

I would also say you need to be running Oh my god, this is a long starter back.

SPEAKER_00 21:57

Um I'm trying to help you out.

SPEAKER_01 21:59

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 22:00

Uh I'd say you need to be running three times a week? Minimum.

SPEAKER_01 22:02

No, I mean a start pack of things to get. Like trainers, like you're obviously an outfit.

SPEAKER_00 22:08

Oh.

SPEAKER_01 22:09

You're giving me a whole training plan here.

SPEAKER_00 22:13

Trainers, that's a good one.

SPEAKER_01 22:14

So trainers, electrolytes, outfit. Yeah. Anything else?

SPEAKER_00 22:20

Uh an easy pair of run shoes, if you can. And then a carbon plated pair for your fast session. So like your high rock sessions and your race day. You don't want to be doing loads of training in your race day shoes because the carbon, like I've made that mistake. I've had really tight calves, shin splints. You just want an easy pair, no carbon. Um training that a lot. But there's like so many different shoes you can get, but then it just gets really, really expensive. So just one carbon, one easy. Yeah. Start with that, then you can get into it a bit more. You can get like tempo shoes and stuff like that. Anyway, I do that. Um that's pretty much it. Yeah, you don't need a crazy amount of stuff.

SPEAKER_01 23:05

No.

SPEAKER_00 23:06

No.

SPEAKER_01 23:07

Just just get this the essentials and send it.

SPEAKER_00 23:10

Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_01 23:12

And then just like Maybe if you're a girl, some slickerback hair gel.

SPEAKER_00 23:16

Yeah. Keep your hair out of your hand. I don't know, just reminded me of like when Home Alone like does his hair and then I've never watched Home Alone. Have you not? No. You haven't lived, mate.

SPEAKER_01 23:29

You haven't lived, mate. No, I've never watched him.

SPEAKER_00 23:32

He's like getting ready and he's like, and then he goes and he goes, ah.

SPEAKER_01 23:35

I like it when Alvis Presley gets does his little thing.

SPEAKER_00 23:39

Oh yeah.

SPEAKER_01 23:40

Whatever he does.

SPEAKER_00 23:41

Very cool.

SPEAKER_01 23:41

Yeah. How many carbon shoes do you own? Is my next question.

SPEAKER_00 23:45

Do you know what? Too many.

SPEAKER_01 23:47

Too many. How many easy shoes do you own?

SPEAKER_00 23:50

Can I just put something into the uh the atmosphere? Why are shoe companies like really pushing carbon plates shoes? That's all they push. It's all I keep seeing.

SPEAKER_01 24:00

So there's no cool shoes that all.

SPEAKER_00 24:02

They advertise, there is, but like they don't push it out. It's like all the cool shoes that I like the look of, that probably everyone else as well, they're all carbon. So you're everyone's like rocking them, people are like posting them on their story, like advertisement, like promoting promoting it.

SPEAKER_01 24:19

People think the more expensive ones are better as well.

SPEAKER_00 24:21

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 24:22

Like they're just they need to start more in demand.

SPEAKER_00 24:25

Yeah, they need to start pushing the tempo shoes that you need for your track, your track days, your threshold runs. Yeah. But then people are like doing.

SPEAKER_01 24:32

Well, I got ones that aren't carbon. Just my ons.

SPEAKER_00 24:35

Just your ons, yeah. But that that is the problem. And that's why I keep buying loads of carbon plates shoes, because that's all we get that gets. Yeah. Sort it out.

SPEAKER_01 24:44

Yeah. But I do you have a lot of carbon shoes. But I always see you wear the same pair.

SPEAKER_00 24:52

Yeah, because I like the look of them. That's the problem. Uh you buy outfits, right? If you're into high-rights, if you're into running, it's a fashion show as well. I'll be real. It is. You want to look good when you're running, you want to feel good when you're running. So all the nice shoes are carbon plated. So you, when you want to do your easy run, I end up putting the carbon plated on, and it's really bad to do that for your body.

SPEAKER_01 25:11

So just don't do that. It's my advice for you.

SPEAKER_00 25:16

Thanks for that advice. Very helpful.

SPEAKER_01 25:19

Yeah. It's not all about how you look.

SPEAKER_00 25:22

Noted. Thank you for that.

SPEAKER_01 25:23

That's alright.

SPEAKER_00 25:24

Now we'll go on to you.

SPEAKER_01 25:26

Me? Huh? What about me?

SPEAKER_00 25:28

About you. I think that when you start getting into this, you will understand because it is a bit of a fashion show.

SPEAKER_01 25:35

Yeah, but I wouldn't wear things that are gonna make me get injured.

SPEAKER_00 25:38

Okay, we'll see about that. In the next video, all I wear at the moment is my carbon ones, to be fair. Exactly.

SPEAKER_01 25:43

But I find every session's like so far apart, they're fine.

SPEAKER_00 25:48

I mean, you do at the moment you do like one every month.

SPEAKER_01 25:52

Yeah, so that's fine at the moment.

SPEAKER_00 25:53

Yeah, you'll be fine.

SPEAKER_01 25:54

So when you're doing like I put my shoes on yesterday, didn't I? And you said, look how fresh they are.

SPEAKER_00 25:58

They do look fresh.

SPEAKER_01 25:59

Compared to yours.

SPEAKER_00 26:00

Honestly, they look brand spanking.

SPEAKER_01 26:02

Yeah, they they pretty much are.

SPEAKER_00 26:03

No, the 247 black.

SPEAKER_01 26:05

Had them since January.

SPEAKER_00 26:06

Bought you them, but was like, oh I know what I'll do. I'll buy Hattie some brand new running shoes, pristine, best looking shoes out there. Hopefully, she'll start running and get into high rocks. She's done two running sessions probably since. And one high rocks.

SPEAKER_01 26:22

But I've got a bit now, so that's all good. Ooh in the past.

SPEAKER_00 26:25

But now you've got high rocks but it's gonna be all systems go. Um what's next? You got any more questions for me?

SPEAKER_01 26:33

SPEAKER_01 26:40

Yeah, okay. Number one, best station.

SPEAKER_00 26:42

Mm-hmm. Ten's the eight's the worst, because there's eight stations.

SPEAKER_00 26:52

Okay.

SPEAKER_01 26:53

We're gonna rank Actually, I think, yeah, you go, sorry, go.

SPEAKER_00 26:56

Let's rank the high rock stations. Yeah. One is obviously being the best, eight being the worst. I'm gonna say the best is sled pool.

I was gonna say sled push.

SPEAKER_00 27:08

Oh yeah.

SPEAKER_01 27:09

Why?

SPEAKER_01 27:11

SPEAKER_01 27:12

But the only thing is I didn't like it last time. No, but I think the floor was harder.

SPEAKER_00 27:19

Yeah. You wait.

SPEAKER_01 27:21

Yeah. I think and on the day it's harder, isn't it?

SPEAKER_00 27:24

The turf. That turf. Yeah. One day it could be good, one day it could be good.

SPEAKER_01 27:29

But I'm on the Wednesday. Does that make a difference?

SPEAKER_00 27:31

Um you should be quite nice. Okay.

SPEAKER_01 27:33
