HYROX compound: a 1K run straight into burpee broad jumps, the exact race transition.
HYROX compound: a 1K run straight into a farmers carry, the exact race transition.
HYROX compound: a 1K run straight into the RowErg, the exact race transition.
HYROX compound: a 1K run straight into sandbag lunges, the exact race transition.
HYROX compound: a 1K run straight into the SkiErg, the exact race transition.
HYROX compound: a 1K run straight into a sled pull, the exact race transition.
HYROX compound: a 1K run straight into a sled push, the exact race transition.
HYROX compound: a 1K run straight into wall balls, the exact race transition.
Interval work on the burpee broad jump: repeated distance efforts with rest, building capacity for the 80 m race station.
HYROX station 4: cover distance in chest-to-ground burpees, each finished with a two-footed broad jump.
HYROX station 6: carry two kettlebells for distance.
Repeat carry efforts for grip and postural endurance: fixed-distance farmers carries with short rests, building to the 200 m race standard.
The whole race in training: eight 1 km runs, each followed by one station, in race order.
Twenty minutes of as many rounds as possible, mixing short runs with three stations.
Every minute on the minute for 24 minutes, rotating four stations. Work, then rest for whatever is left of the minute.
A long, steady circuit on the machines and the road, to build the aerobic fitness the whole race runs on.
The run stays the same while the station reps climb and then come back down.
Two of you, one working while the other rests. Good practice for doubles, and more fun than training alone.
Four hard rounds at goal race pace, so the pace you plan to hold stops feeling new.
An easy flush between hard days: lots of movement, very little strain.
Half the race at full effort: four runs and four stations, at race weight.
Heavy stations with short runs in between, to keep your legs strong when they are tired.
Burpee broad jumps between short runs, to get used to the station most people dread.
Grip and posture work for the farmers carry and the sled pull.
The SkiErg and the rower back to back, the two machine stations in the race.
HYROX station 5: 1000 m on the rowing erg.
Rowing intervals for engine building: repeated distance pieces at or below race split with controlled rest.
The Roxzone is the walkway between the running track and the stations. People lose minutes there without noticing. This session practises moving through it.
Race-pace running straight into a station, to practise getting your legs working again after each one.
Run intervals at race pace or faster: the engine work behind the 8 x 1K runs inside a HYROX race.
Repeat lunge efforts under load: fixed-distance sandbag lunges with rest, building to the 100 m race standard.
HYROX station 7: walking lunges under a sandbag for distance.
HYROX station 1: 1000 m on the SkiErg.
SkiErg intervals: repeated distance pieces at race split for upper-body engine capacity.
HYROX station 3: drag a weighted sled for distance.
Repeat sled pull efforts: fixed-distance pulls with rest, building strength endurance toward the 50 m race standard.
HYROX station 2: push a weighted sled for distance.
Repeat sled push efforts: fixed-distance pushes with rest, building leg drive toward the 50 m race standard.
Wall ball intervals: rep blocks with short rest, building capacity toward the 100/75-rep race station.
HYROX station 8, the finisher: squat and throw a medicine ball to a target.
