discover The race
At GYMRACE, it's about challenging yourself to test your fitness and having a great day. Check out your race day's 'to do list' and the various solo and buddy categories below.
discover the categories
The average finish time is 1 hour 20 minutes. You can race solo or with your buddy. With your buddy, you run from start to finish together, and distribute the work at the stations. There are different weights for women, men and... there is the heavy category. In the heavy category, the power stations are heavier. Choose a category that suits you and challenges you. You can do more than you think.
Training tips
For most athletes, the workload is comparable to multiple workouts stringed together and mixed in a blender with chili peppers.
So make sure you show up at the start trained.
Do you need help with your training? Let your trainer help you, or if you don't have a trainer yet, find one and go to the gym.
You run 5,000 meters at pace. That's not a marathon, but don't neglect running when training. This way, you can recover (even) better between stations.
Game plan
Start fast, accelerate halfway and sprint across the finish line... or not?
The pitfall in racing is starting too fast. The adrenaline and the starting gun launch you onto the track. As a result, you usually start (too) fast. This does not work out well for everyone. It can make your race unforgettably tough and epic, but not necessarily faster.
We recommend that you do not go full throttle in the first half of the race. If you still feel strong halfway, you can accelerate slowly.
Take your foot off the gas in your training the last week before the event. Take care of yourself. Eat, drink and sleep well and enough, and don't plan your “PR weightlifting” right before the event.
Make sure you show up at the start with a full tank, ready to go!
