Perspectives on the sport. Written by our Athletes, and our Founders.
Learn how to assess your training shorts using a clean, dry home sequence. By performing simple movements like reaches, hinges, and lunges, you can confirm fit and mobility without risking the condition...
A three-tier waistband stays put under load because it spreads pressure across three bonded bands rather than one thin elastic strip, so it grips the hip without digging in or rolling down...
Learn how to manage your training plan by distinguishing between local weekly tweaks, long term key focus adjustments, and full plan updates. Protect your historical data while deliberately refining your future sessions...
Selecting the right athletic top requires understanding the difference between flat garment width and body circumference. Avoid the mistake of confusing these values, which leads to poor fit. By focusing on garment...
Missing a workout is common, but how you react defines your progress. Learn to evaluate the purpose of missed sessions, prioritise recovery over cramming, and use deliberate tweaks to maintain consistency without...
Selecting the right kit requires sizing your upper and lower body independently. Learn how to navigate size selectors and ensure your gear supports your range of motion, providing a stable, distraction-free fit...
Squat-proof fabric matters for women's training shorts because standard fabric goes sheer when stretched over the glutes and thighs during squats, lunges and deep hip hinges, exposing the wearer and undermining confidence....
Waistbands fail on cheap training shorts because thin, single-layer elastic stretches out under repeated squatting, lunging and sled work, then loses its recovery and sags. The fix is a structured, multi-layer or...
The best hoodie for cold-start training sessions is a technical thermo hoodie with a brushed interior for warmth, barbell-proof reinforced seams so it survives strength work, and enough stretch and breathability to...
To find good HYROX coaching in 2026, judge coaches by their reasoning and their coverage of both halves of the race (not their race times or their confidence) and match the format...
To layer a quarter-zip for warm-ups and cool-downs, wear it over a technical tee as an adjustable outer layer: zip it high to trap heat while you raise your temperature, then open...
Software can do the parts of coaching that are systematic (periodising blocks, distributing intensity, adapting load from your data and never forgetting your history) but it cannot read the room, feel your...
Hybrid coaching is a distinct discipline, not a bolt-together of a running plan and a lifting plan, because combining endurance and strength creates interference effects and pacing demands that neither parent sport...
The gap between generic plans and coached athletes shows up most in four places: pacing set to the individual, adaptation when life or fatigue intervenes, weakness-targeting, and race-specific execution like compromised running...
New sports reward analytical coaching because there is no settled dogma to defend, so whoever reads the evidence best gets ahead fastest. In an old sport, decades of trial and error have...
For grip-heavy training blocks you want kit that stays out of the way of your hands and forearms: a fitted top that does not bunch at the sleeve, shorts or half tights...
