Race-Specific Plan

Why a Race-Specific Plan

The general HYROX guide gets you trained. A race-specific plan turns that training into a finish-line strategy. Here's what's inside the downloadable PDF — click any section to expand.

All 8 HYROX Workouts Decoded

Sled Push, Sled Pull, Burpee Broad Jumps, Rowing, Farmers Carry, Sandbag Lunges, Wall Balls, plus the running segments between stations. For each: technique cues, common mistakes, and the rep/weight targets that separate an average finish from a competitive one.

Pacing Strategy by Division

Segment-by-segment pacing model for Open, Pro, Doubles, and Relay. Tells you exactly how hard to push each of the 8 stations and the run splits so you don’t blow up in station 4.

Race-Day Tips & Mental Prep

The warm-up protocol coaches use, what to eat 90 minutes before the gun, the grip-saving tricks between stations, and the mental framing that holds up across 8 rounds of work.
