Close enough to Longdendale 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 Longdendale.

Longdendale 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.

What training in Longdendale actually involves.

Where to train in Longdendale

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

Closest to the centre you have Glossop Padel, Tintwistle Cricket Club and Longdendale Recreation Centre, the nearest of them about 1.3 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.

Glossop Padel and Tintwistle Cricket Club 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 Longdendale

You are well served for measured running around Longdendale. 4 parkrun courses sit within reach: Glossop parkrun, Stamford Park parkrun and Hyde parkrun are the closest three, Glossop parkrun being about 4.6 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.
