Hyrox Training FAQs
A Hyrox race is a hybrid fitness competition that combines strength and endurance. Participants complete eight different workout stations, with a one-kilometer run between each. The workouts include functional movements like sled pushes, rowing, farmer’s carries, and wall balls. Think of it as a mix between a traditional 10k and a CrossFit competition, designed to test both strength and cardiovascular endurance.
CrossFit incorporates a variety of bodyweight movements and Olympic lifts that change daily, focusing on building overall strength and fitness levels. HIIT classes typically involve short bursts of intense exercise followed by brief rest periods for an emphasis on aerobic capacity. A Hyrox event combines many of the elements of CrossFit and HIIT to create a unique event format where your endurance and strength will be tested.
It is recommended to start training at least 12-16 weeks before your event. This will allow enough time to build both the endurance and strength capacity while also leaving room for recovery and proper tapering before race day. Traverse members can benefit from expertly-crafted programming that can complement any Hyrox training plan.
- A Hyrox workout program should focus on three key components: conditioning, strength training, and event-specific movements. Proper cardio exercise is important as you will be running 8 kilometers in addition to rowing and using the SkiErg on race day. Then you will want to progressively build your strength and familiarity with functional movements such as burbeeps, lunges, and medicine wall-balls.
- A typical weekly training schedule could include:
- 2 running sessions with intervals and steady-state tempo
- 2 strength training sessions focusing on the specific Hyrox movements
- 2 combination workouts linking runs with stations
- 1 recovery day
