Dated to your race, not week numbers
Your programme counts back from London. Miss a week and Sunday's rebuild absorbs it — the plan bends, the race date doesn't.

Where you can train in Wood Green.
Wood Green has plenty of choice, which means you can be picky. The thing to look for is not a Hyrox sticker on the door, it is a sled lane long enough to push on, a spare wall for wall balls, and a rower nobody queues for at 6pm.
Chains with a site here: The Gym, CrossFit, YMCA. If you already hold one of those memberships, you can start this week without paying anything new.

What a Hyrox build looks like from Wood Green.
Where to train in Wood Green
20 gyms and sports centres sit within a few miles of the centre of Wood Green. That is enough to choose on what the floor actually holds rather than on which is nearest.
Closest to the centre you have Wood Green Common Multi Use Game Area, Flex PT and The Gym, the nearest of them about 0.4 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.
Wood Green Common Multi Use Game Area and Myddleton Road Outdoor Gym 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.
The Gym, CrossFit and YMCA have sites here, so an existing membership may already cover you. If you are joining from scratch, a rolling monthly contract is worth the few extra pounds while you work out which sessions you actually turn up for.
Where to run around Wood Green
You are well served for measured running around Wood Green. 8 parkrun courses sit within reach: Ally Pally parkrun, Lordship Recreation Ground parkrun and Finsbury parkrun are the closest three, Ally Pally parkrun being about 0.6 km out. Use one as your fixed benchmark and run it in the same conditions each time, or the number tells you nothing.
They spread from roughly 1 km out to 6 km, so pick one as the benchmark rather than running whichever is convenient — a different course is a different number.
Racing from Wood Green
Wood Green hosts a race, which is a bigger advantage than most people use. You can walk the venue, you will train alongside people on the same start list, and you have no travel to plan on the morning.
Having both a race and 8 measured 5 km courses on the doorstep is the combination that makes a season easy to plan: benchmark locally through the build, then race without travelling.
