Hyrox Training and Racing articles

One of the biggest mistakes people make in HYROX is assuming that the hardest part of the race must also be the most important part of the race. It's understandable. Nobody crosses the finish line talking about how well their aerobic system performed. They talk about the sled push that nearly folded them in half, the lunges that turned their legs to concrete, or the wall balls that felt like they would never end. The stations are the memorable parts because they're where most

Mobility and Flexibility Are Not the Same Thing Mobility and flexibility get lumped together constantly in fitness. Same way people talk about “cardio” like jogging, rowing and getting chased by a dog are all the same physiological experience. But they’re not the same thing, and for sport performance the difference actually matters. Flexibility is passive range of motion. Basically, how far a joint or muscle can move when something else is pushing or pulling you there. Touchi

The closer people get to a HYROX race, the stranger they become. Three weeks out everything is normally fine. Training’s ticking along, sessions are going well, confidence is decent enough. Then race week starts creeping in and people suddenly lose their minds because they don’t feel completely exhausted anymore. Their resting heart rate’s up three beats. Their calf feels “tight”. Someone on Instagram has posted themselves doing a ridiculous pre-race sled workout with techno

HYROX Nutrition: What Actually Matters For Performance?

Strength clearly matters in HYROX. You don’t get very far if you can’t move the sled, control your positions under fatigue, or hold it together through lunges and wall balls when everything is already starting to slip. That part isn’t controversial. Where things start to get a bit messy is how people interpret that. The moment they see heavy loads in the race, the natural reaction is to assume it must be a strength problem, and that the solution is to get stronger in the trad

PBs don't make you happier! One of the biggest mistakes people make in HYROX is treating every race like it should be the race. Every event becomes a must-hit PB, every training block becomes a rush to feel sharp, and every result gets judged purely by the number on the clock. That works for about five minutes. At some point, if you want to keep improving, you need to stop thinking race to race and start thinking season to season. You need to know what you are building toward

Hyrox Running Pace: How Fast Should You Run the 1km Runs?

If you’ve raced Hyrox before you’ll recognise this. The first run feels fine. The sled push is heavy but manageable. The second run still feels fairly controlled. Then somewhere around the middle of the race things start to change. Your breathing becomes harder to control, the runs slow down, and suddenly every station feels like it costs far more than it should. Most of the time this isn’t a strength problem. It’s a running pacing problem. Hyrox is essentially a 8 - 9km of r
