When Hyrox came to Dublin’s RDS last November, it was a completely sold out event. The tickets for the fitness race were snapped up in minutes of going on sale, with organisers adding extra dates just to meet demand. But one person who was able to get their hands on a ticket was Irish Times sports writer Gordon Manning. The only problem? He'd never tried Hyrox before and hadn’t done any training for the event.
Manning - who isn’t even a member of a gym - decided to take on the gruelling challenge to find out why this fitness craze has become so popular in Ireland and around the world. But with so little preparation, did he survive the race? And what does it involve anyway?
In today’s episode, we’ll hear all about Manning's Hyrox experience, whether he’d do it again and whether you should do it too.
Presented by Bernice Harrison, produced by Suzanne Brennan.
