Roughly 82 km from Prestonpans in a straight line, which for most people is an early train rather than a hotel. Whichever race you enter, the programme is built backwards from that date.

Where you can train in Prestonpans.

Prestonpans 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: Bannatyne Health Club. If you already hold one of those memberships, you can start this week without paying anything new.

What training in Prestonpans actually involves.

Where to train in Prestonpans

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

Closest to the centre you have Castle Park Bowling Club, The Mercat Gait Centre and Saltire Team Gymnastics, the nearest of them about 0.3 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.

Castle Park Bowling Club and The Mercat Gait Centre 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.

Bannatyne Health Club has a site 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 Prestonpans

Meadowmill parkrun, roughly 1 km from the centre of Prestonpans, is your nearest measured 5 km. Free, timed, every Saturday, and the single most useful benchmark you have access to.

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.
