Dated to your race, not week numbers

Your programme counts back from Chicago. Miss a week and Sunday's rebuild absorbs it — the plan bends, the race date doesn't.

Roughly 733 km from Thunder Bay in a straight line, so treat it as a weekend away rather than a day out, and book the room when you book the race. Whichever race you enter, the programme is built backwards from that date.

Where you can train in Thunder Bay.

Enough choice in Thunder Bay to find one that suits the training rather than the other way round. Ring ahead and ask about sled space and a wall you are allowed to throw at, because those two decide more than anything on the membership page.

What a Hyrox build looks like from Thunder Bay.

Where to train in Thunder Bay

Thunder Bay has 9 places to train within reach. Not a wide field, and it means the sensible move is to build the programme around what one or two of them actually have rather than hunting for a perfect fit.

Closest to the centre you have Delaney Arena, Skate park and Heath Park Pool, the nearest of them about 1.2 km out. Ring before you join and ask two questions: is there floor space to push a sled, and can you throw a ball at a wall. Those answers decide more than any membership tier.

Delaney Arena and Skate park are listed as sports centres rather than gyms. Multi-use sites are usually where the floor space is, which tends to be where the sled and carry work ends up happening.

Where to run around Thunder Bay

There is no parkrun close to Thunder Bay, so you will need to measure your own loop. Pick something flat you can repeat, run it every three or four weeks under the same conditions, and treat that time as your benchmark.

Racing from Thunder Bay

600 E Grand Ave is the nearest venue at roughly 733 km, so racing means a weekend away. Enter early, book the room at the same time, and treat the travel as part of the plan rather than an afterthought.

Between the race and the 9 places to train listed here, the constraint is rarely equipment. It is the calendar, which is why the programme is dated to a day rather than numbered by week.
