Mouth or nose, a breathing rhythm for the runs, one breath per rep on all eight stations, and what to do in the roxzone — plus why your breathing rate is a better pacing gauge than your heart rate.

Solein is protein grown by a bacterium fed CO₂ and hydrogen. What is actually on the panel, how it compares with whey and pea, whether it beats them — and why you still cannot buy it in Switzerland.

Honey, agave, Birnel, erythritol, stevia and the cyclamate in Assugrin — the three families on the sweetener shelf, what each does to your calories and your gut, and how much you can use before it backfires.

Spelt, wheat, rye and oats compared — when wholegrain is the better call, and when light flour is actually the smarter choice around training. Plus what 405, 550, 630 and 1050 really mean.

Why strong HYROX athletes are more muscular than runners and lighter than bodybuilders, which muscles the eight stations actually ask for, and a six-day and four-day week that builds the performance the physique follows from.

Three home sessions that train what actually transfers to a HYROX race — with an honest station-by-station verdict on what a backpack can replace and what only a sled and an erg can teach.

What zone 2 means in practice, why two apps give you two different answers, when heart rate beats pace, and why "just run zone 2" is only half a training plan.

Three sessions a week for four weeks, from movements almost everyone tolerates back to ordinary strength training — with a green/amber/red rule for deciding each week and the warning signs that mean see a clinician first.

What the WHO and NICE guidelines actually recommend for non-specific low back pain, why pain does not reliably mean damage, how to dose load when your back is sensitive — and when to see a clinician instead.

Same corner of the gym, two very different sports. How Hyrox and CrossFit compare on format, skills, the training week, cost and injury risk — and a straight answer on which one fits your goals.

Learn to read ingredient lists and nutrition tables properly. How to spot hidden sugar, hidden and hydrogenated fats and what E-numbers actually mean — and what claims like sugar-free, light and high protein legally require.

Seven reasons Hyrox athletes plateau — and how to find your real limiter from your own splits. Running, compromised running, the roxzone, pacing and station capacity, with the fix for each.
