If you’ve ever walked into a HYROX race thinking the SkiErg would be a “nice little warm-up,” only to have it punch you in the throat… welcome to the club. Most athletes ski too heavy, row too proud, and burn matches they can’t afford before the real suffering even starts.

HYROX isn’t just about who can suffer the most on race day — it’s about who can be the most intentional every day leading up to it. In this episode of the RMR Training Podcast, Coach Ryan sits down with Colin Steeper and Jack Driscoll to unpack what it really takes to go from “decent” to Elite 15 territory

Ever wondered if running a half marathon will actually make you better at HYROX — or just more tired? In this episode of the RMR Training Podcast, Rich Ryan and Meg Jacoby break down Meg’s recent 1:18 half PR, why she was less sore than after a HYROX, and what that tells us about pacing, intensity, and smart race planning.

They dive into how to time a half within your HYROX season, why a full marathon is a different beast altogether, and how dialing in your fueling and shoe game can be the difference between cramping on the rower and closing strong.

HYROX isn’t about guessing—it’s about building broadly, then sharpening precisely. In this post I share the 6-week reset that actually moved the needle for me: velocity-based strength that carries to race day, low-impact Zone 2 that doesn’t cook your legs, and long Zone 4 sessions that mimic the grind. If you’re ready to train with intent—and finally see it on the leaderboard—dive in.

Deka VS Hyrox

If you’ve ever stared down a SkiErg, RowErg, or BikeErg and thought, “How bad can it be?”—then learned the hard way 40 seconds later—you’re not alone. Ergs are sneaky. They look simple. But if you’re not using them right, you’re either wasting time or wrecking your race.
