In the world of elite athletics, injuries are almost inevitable. Whether it’s from pushing the body to its limits or simply from the wear and tear of high-performance training, setbacks are a part of the game. But how an athlete handles these setbacks is what really defines them.

The 2024 HYROX season was a rollercoaster for me. I competed in three Elite 15 Majors and qualified for the World Championships. While that might sound like a successful season on paper, my results were all over the place, leaving me questioning my approach. Reflecting on the year, I pinpointed five key training strategies I used—some worked wonders, while others fell flat.

The sled push: it’s the ultimate make-or-break moment in any HYROX race. Get it right, and you’ll save valuable minutes. Get it wrong, and you could blow up your entire race. Trust me, I’ve been there more times than I’d like to admit.

I’m pulling back the curtain on my final prep workout for HYROX. I’m not just talking about what I did, but why I did it this way, what I was trying to achieve, and how you can use this approach to give yourself an edge on race day.

In the world of high-performance sports like HYROX, the difference between a good performance and a great one often comes down to the fine details of your nutrition, supplement for HYROX, and recovery. I had the opportunity to sit down with Benjamin Burkhardt, CEO and founder of ESN Supplements, to explore how these elements can maximize performance.

When people talk about running, especially in endurance events like HYROX, we often focus on speed. But here’s the truth: speed alone isn’t enough to get you where you want to be.

No matter how you rationalize it, a Hyrox event is more than half running. It’s eight runs and eight stations. The time breakdown will always lean toward running. The top athletes who run under 60 minutes still have a run plus rox zone of over 30 minutes. 

Burpee broad jumps are considered by many to be the most challenging station in HYROX. It requires a combination of explosive power, stamina, and technique. In this article, we will provide four different methods that you can use to make this station a little bit easier. We will also talk about which type of athlete should use which style of Burpee broad jump to maximize their performance.

Creating a Hyrox training program can feel overwhelming. The event is simple, but the demands are incredible. It is easy to overload yourself when preparing for a massive effort like Hyrox.  Training for Hyrox does not have to be a beat down toward overtraining. Take a few simple steps to understand the demands of Hyrox so you can get the best results possible
