In today’s episode Eoin goes through his prep for his Hyrox competition this weekend in New York.

Hyrox is a fitness competition combining cardio based exercises with resistance and high intensity style workouts. It consists of 8 x 1km runs, and 8 exercise stations; ski, sled push, sled pull, burpees, rowing, farmer carries, lunges and wall ball squats.

While training for the physical side of the competition, Eoin needs to pay attention to how his blood sugar is going to “behave” throughout the event.

In this episode, Eoin talks about his strategies around:

• Reducing basal insulin.

• “Carb loading” in the days prior.

• Adjusting fast acting insulin.

• Carbohydrate intake and timing on the day of the competition.
