After a great HYROX race, I expected sore muscles.
I didn’t expect the nausea, upset stomach, loss of appetite, heartburn, and feeling completely wiped out.
The challenging part?
I have another race tomorrow.
Recovery isn’t just about your muscles.
It’s your nervous system.
It’s your digestive system.
It’s your entire body trying to find balance again after giving everything you have on the course.
Even though I’m in a new city and want to be out exploring, today I’m focusing on hydration, electrolytes, rest, and giving my body what it needs.
At this point, I’m already here and tomorrow I’ll do what I have to do.
But I’m curious…
Has anyone else experienced a post-race hangover after HYROX, a marathon, Spartan, or another endurance event?
Tell me I’m not the only one.
