How to Prepare for a HYROX Competition

Success in HYROX isn't about being the fittest person in the room, it's also about being the most prepared. The competition requires a combination of strength, endurance, and race strategy or also known as smart pacing, so a structured approach will help you perform at your best on race day.

1. Understand the HYROX Race Format
​

A standard HYROX competition consists of eight 1km runs, each followed by a functional workout station. The exercises include:

• 1km SkiErg
• Sled Push (50m)
• Sled Pull (50m)
• Burpee Broad Jumps (80m)
• 1km Rowing
• Kettlebell Farmer’s Carry (200m)
• Sandbag Lunges (100m)
• Wall Balls (100 reps)

Understanding this structure is essential for building a training plan that prepares your body for the intensity of race day.

2. Develop a Structured Training Plan

A well-rounded HYROX training plan usually includes three pillars:

• Strength Training – Focus on compound exercises such as squats, deadlifts, lunges, and presses to build functional strength for race movements.
• Endurance Work – Include running sessions like interval training and tempo runs to improve cardiovascular fitness and pacing ability.
• Hybrid Workouts – Combine running with strength exercises to mimic race conditions, such as alternating between 1km runs and workout stations.

A mix of these training styles will help you build the necessary power and stamina for a HYROX race.

3. Prioritise Recovery and Nutrition
​

Recovery is just as important as training. Without proper rest and fuel, performance can decline, and injuries become more likely.

• Rest Days – Incorporate at least one to two rest or active recovery days per week to allow muscle repair and prevent overtraining.
• Hydration – Drink enough water throughout the day and ensure proper electrolyte balance, especially before and after training sessions.
• Nutrition – Fuel your workouts with a combination of protein, carbohydrates, and healthy fats to support muscle recovery and maintain energy levels.

4. Build A Strong Mindset
​

HYROX challenges both the body and the mind. A smart mental approach can help you stay calm on the start line and steady through the tougher stations.

• Set Goals – Define clear objectives for your race, whether it’s finishing strong or achieving a personal best.
• Visualise Success – Picture yourself going through the race movements smoothly and confidently.
• Practice Race Day Strategies – Develop a pacing strategy that allows you to conserve energy while maintaining steady progress.

Building mental resilience will help you push through fatigue and complete the race efficiently. 

Benefits of HYROX Training Programs

• Specific Workouts – These programs replicate race conditions, improving performance in each station.
• Guidance from Coaches – Expert trainers provide feedback on technique and pacing strategies.
