HYROX Race Pace Circuit

Four hard rounds at goal race pace, so the pace you plan to hold stops feeling new.

Three minutes of easy walking between rounds.

RoundWork
11 km run at race pace + 1,000 m SkiErg
21 km run at race pace + 100 wall balls, or 50 if you are building up

41 km run at race pace + 100 m sandbag lunges

Pacing

Race pace means the pace you want to hold for all eight runs on the day, not your best 1 km.

Where people go wrong

Running each 1 km faster than race pace because you know there is rest coming.
