Training For Hyrox? Do THIS Or Pay The Consequence

A deep dive into what you MUST do to be successful on your next Hyrox race. SO MANY people will blow by this all important aspect to their training and just “hope” they’re going to rise to the occasion on race day. Don’t be that person. Instead, develop a sound base of fitness to fall back on.
For reference, get the written blog version of this discussion right here: suffercityaz.c...
And, if you’re interesting in getting the training program Jason refers to in this video, then just call or text “HYROX” to 480-404-0673

“Train harder then you’ll fight”
Great video & tips!

[@suffercity1]

Oh, we see what you’re quoting here. We think he meant “train harder THAN you fight”.
Good looking out 😊

Really great information! I have a year before I plan to do a Hyrox. After the 60-75 days, How do you recommend intensifying the training? Any recommendations on adding mobility and stretching to the mix?

[@suffercity1]

Great points…
For starters; range of motion (mobility + elasticity) are implicit to any effective program and there are scores of great content of effective mobility continuums. Check out The Supple Leopard and Kelly Starret or “Ben”, the Knee Over Toes Guy. There are countless others, but they’re a great start.
depending on the sport, the program, and the coaching philosophy you can break down a “cycle of training” into different phases, each with their own duration.
Traditionally, phases will increase in volume and intensity whilst building toward a “peak” performance to map onto any race or event. Then, of course, there are training protocols to sustain and even program fitness through a race season while engaging in a good frequency of races.
I plan to do a video on training phase time/energy distribution here soon that better breaks down an approach to each training phase as it relates to HYROX.
Thanks for watching this video and I hope it helped.

Good video but overall volume seems extremely high there are only 7 days in a week

[@suffercity1]

You are correct. For a novice athlete without a solid base, this volume will be overwhelming. However; if you're aiming towards high-output performances, podium finishes, and a world championship bid, then a weekly volume of 12 hours would be a minimum while you'd like to aim at a 15-plus hour a week schedule.
Understand, this would not be 15-plus hours of "hard" training. In fact, upwards of 70 to 80 percent would be considered "easy" training.
True, this type of volume is not for everyone, but is for anyone who has their aim set on being a top performer in the sport.
That's not to say you can't do well in these races on a more reasonable weekly training volume of 7 to 10 hours a week; but the idea when it comes to training for pro-level performance is to expose the athlete to as much volume as they can recover from.

Hi
Going to do a trial tomorrow.
Not in a gym.
So no erg or rower.
What you recommend to replace them. Dumbell thrusters?
