Free, measured, timed, every Saturday morning. The simplest way to see whether the programme is working is to run the same 5 km every few weeks and watch the number move.

Close enough to Houston to get there on race morning without staying over, and close enough to walk the venue beforehand if you want to. Whichever race you enter, the programme is built backwards from that date.

Where you can train in Houston.

Enough choice in Houston 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 training in Houston actually involves.

Where to train in Houston

11 gyms and sports centres sit within a few miles of the centre of Houston. That is enough to choose on what the floor actually holds rather than on which is nearest.

Closest to the centre you have Strathgryffe Tennis, Squash & Fitness Club, ON X and Linwood Sports Centre, 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.

Strathgryffe Tennis, Squash & Fitness Club and ON X 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 Houston

You are well served for measured running around Houston. 3 parkrun courses sit within reach: Linwood parkrun, Erskine Waterfront parkrun and Levengrove parkrun are the closest three, Linwood parkrun being about 3.4 km out. Use one as your fixed benchmark and run it in the same conditions each time, or the number tells you nothing.

A Hyrox is eight kilometre runs with a station between each, which means the skill being tested is running on tired legs, not running fresh. Do at least one session a week where the running comes after the hard work rather than before it.

Plenty of people train one town over, whether that is a better gym, a flatter route, or simply the one on the way home from work.
