HYROX combines running and functional training which opens it up to a broad audience of fitness enthusiasts. Everyone can do it, even if you haven’t trained, though we don’t recommend that – you’ll be sore for days afterwards. For example, it takes people roughly four or five minutes to do the SkiErg section. So that means for five minutes, you would have to do something that targets your heart rate, and then also your arms. So I would do burpees with double press-ups. Be creative. Do you need to consider how you fuel for a HYROX event? Most importantly we'll provide you with a reason to keep going because you'll know that you're helping improve the lives of people living with cancer. Donations make up 98% of our annual income so we simply couldn't do what we do without you. How best to train for HYROX depends a little on where you’re coming from. If we were to start with a beginner or someone who’s not familiar with HYROX, the best thing to do is build their base fitness, building endurance and strength. If you’re committed and you do three to four workouts a week, then eight weeks is enough, but if you really want to be well prepared, I would recommend 12 weeks. How should you structure that training?
If you aren’t used to lots of running, it normally makes sense to increase the amount that you run gradually, as many running related injuries can be caused by running too much, too soon. You need to get your body used to pounding the pavement. This all said, there is a time and place for HYROX simulations, or metcons that incorporate the required HYROX movements. Something to bear in mind when doing these is understanding what you are trying to achieve out of the session. For example, you may want to specifically work on your upper body one day, and give your lower body more of a rest, so include more upper body based exercises that day. Alternatively, you may be aware of specific weaknesses (perhaps based on previous races) that you want to focus on, and so would do these more regularly than other exercises. For example, I knew that sled pulls and farmers carries were a weakness for me, so once a week I included a session that looked like this:HYROX events can have as many as 3,000 competitors. (Image credit: HYROX) How long does it take to train for a HYROX? It is an important station where there is a large variability in the times that athletes complete it in. But, unlike with other stations where that applies, you can push yourself to your absolute limit to get them done because it’s the end of the race. This is where leaving something in the tank goes out the window – by the time you reach the wall balls your tank will likely be almost empty, and you should use the wall balls to fully empty it! HYROX is a fitness race for Every Body, no matter your fitness level. The race starts with a 1 km run, followed by 1 functional movement. This whole circuit repeats 8 times, taking place in large indoor venues, creating a unique stadium like atmosphere for all participants.
When training for wall balls in isolation, there are obviously a variety of options in terms of sets, reps, and weight of ball you could use. Periodisation and progression in your training is important. An example session might be to do 4 sets of 20 reps with the heaviest ball you can manage that for (unbroken each set), with a 2-minute rest between each set. This can then progress (perhaps in terms of rep, sets, or less rest) over time. In terms of what sort of running workouts to do, a mixture of slow, steady state running (in heart rate zone 2), combined with other sessions of high speed, shorter distance, intervals, can normally work very well. You will also want to do some interval sessions at your expected race pace, especially as you get closer to the event. Exactly what, how often, and how far you run will depend on you, your history, and existing capabilities.HiiROC’s process is called Thermal Plasma Electrolysis, we often get likened to Methane Pyrolysis. Here’s why we are different: Similarly, you might want to practice farmers carries along with rowing, a portion of the race that will test your grip strength to a greater extent than other parts. Or working on your running after the lunges – something that can be especially difficult. You can design the session with specific elements of the HYROX race in mind. My wall ball exercises are almost always at the end of my training sessions because they are the final part of a HYROX race. Therefore, I will be fatigued when doing them, but I also don’t need to do anything afterwards (except collapse at the finishing line!). How Long Do You Need to Train for a HYROX? To reiterate, I’m not saying it’s a bad idea to occasionally replicate a HYROX race in your training; I would just be careful of falling into the trap of doing it too often.
