HYROX training can look simple from the outside. Run. Ski. Push a sled. Pull a sled. Do burpees. Row. Carry. Lunge. Wall ball. Repeat. But once you start trying to actually get better, things get complicated fast. How much running is enough? How often should you do compromised running? Should you train the race movements all year? How do you know if a workout is actually working? Why can some athletes get off a sled and run immediately while others feel like their legs got unplugged? In this
HYROX Race Week Mistakes: What NOT to Do Before Your A Race Preparing for a HYROX A race can bring out the best in an athlete. It can also bring out the panic. As race day gets closer, it is common to start questioning everything. Did I do enough training? Should I add more wall balls? Should I do another simulation? Should I cut a little weight? Should I change my fueling? Should I test my fitness one more time? This is where many HYROX athletes make their biggest mistakes. In this episod
Rich Ryan added another major performance to his HYROX resume with a hard-fought victory at HYROX Ottawa, finishing in 55:22 and securing first place by just one second.

Whether you’re racing at HYROX World Championships, flyi
If you want to get better at HYROX, you need to become a better runner. Not just faster in a sprint. Not just capable of surviving the runs. You need to become more efficient, more aerobic, and more durable while running under fatigue. That’s the difference. One of the biggest mistakes athletes make in HYROX training is assuming that traditional running workouts automatically transfer to race performance. But HYROX running is different. You’re not running fresh. You’re running after sled pus
For a long time, endurance sports pushed the idea that athletes peak young. Hit your late 30s? You’re slowing down. Turn 40? You’re just trying to hold on. But HYROX is changing that conversation completely. Athletes like Rich Ryan and Ryan Kent are proving that performance after 40 doesn’t need to decline the way people assume. In many cases, they’re still improving. They’re still experimenting with training. Still finding weaknesses to develop. Still discovering new ways to build fitness, i
HYROX Open vs Pro: The Question Everyone Asks At some point in your HYROX journey, you start thinking: 👉 “Am I ready to go Pro?” And honestly… it’s a great question.
