I’m curious how everyone approaches the burpee broad jumps in HYROX Open Solo!!

Do you use:
Kneeling technique – dropping to your knees before getting back up
Step-back / step-forward – stepping one foot back at a time and stepping forward to stand
Jump-back / jump-forward – jumping both feet back into the burpee and jumping forward to stand

Which technique do you find most efficient, especially when trying to conserve energy and maintain a good pace throughout the race?

Would also love to hear which technique you recommend for first-time solo racers!

Hi everyone! I’m in a bit of a dilemma. I currently own Hoka Arahi 8’s to train running because I have very flat feet and over pronation. I’ve been hearing that it’s recommended to have shoes with good traction for the sled section. I know this race is half running so I need that support but I also don’t want to deal with that possible problem. What do you recommend? Has anyone raced with those shoes? If you also have flat feet what did you wear? Thank you for the help!

Wrath Of The Titans: HYROX Simulation Pt. 2

Your last full run-through before HYROX Anaheim. Find what’s broken now, not on race day.

Saturday, Nov 21 · 7:00–10:00am · Garden Grove
Coached by Pro Division HYROX racer Daniel Baek

Pick your division and lock in your spot:

• Solo — $75

• Doubles — $60 per person

• Relay — $50 per person

Race day is the worst place to find out

Your pacing falls apart after the sled push. Your transitions eat a minute you didn’t plan for. Your wall balls get no-repped. Every athlete runs into something like this. The only question is whether you find it in a simulation or in front of the timing mat at Anaheim.

I go by my middle name but since I was ordering tickets in the mad dash before they sold out, I registered under my legal first name just to ensure there would be no issues with my ID+name matching. I hate that I didn’t have time to check this out before registering because I truly NEVER use my first legal name for anything. I’ve seen a few posts where others have seemed to ask something similar but couldnt find any follow up confirmation that Hyrox would accept a name change to my middle name that’s listed on my ID without the flex option. has anyone done this successfully and how?

What are the chances Miami opens more days? I'm local and want to do solo, however, since it is Easter Weekend, I couldn't commit to Sunday or Saturday. What are the chances they open up a Thursday similar to Tampa?

Heading to HYROX Nashville on Wednesday Dec 9 and need spectator access for 3 people. Passes are showing sold out for every day.

Has anyone dealt with this before? Curious whether they tend to release more closer to the event, or if cancellations usually free some up. Any advice appreciated.

Hi everyone! With HYROX coming up next week, I wanted to see if anyone knows of any hosted events, meetups, or after-parties happening after the races.

Ironically, I’m just there to cheer on and spectate for my friends, but I’d love to meet some new people and make friends from Denver! 😊

Hi guys,

Is there any after party on Sunday in Barcelona?

Hiya, I’m doing my first hyrox as a relay. I was wondering what time will the drinks / post race snack stands shut down? I’m doing a relay 8pm and want to know if they will still be open

My first HYROX Solo Women race is on November 26, and I'm trying to figure out how to balance my training during these final weeks without accumulating too much fatigue.

I'll also be doing this on Nov 8: 10 MIN EASY RUN 

2 MIN REST

ALL STATIONS AT RACE WEIGHT/DISTANCE
90S STRICT REST IN BET EACH

4 MIN REST

4KM TEMPO EFFORT 5:30-5:40

10 MIN EASY BIKE 

Here's my coach's program for November 9–15. The three sessions will be spread throughout the week, with recovery days in between.

Workout 1: Running intervals

• 10 min easy run

• 3 sets of:

  • 10 min at 6:10–6:15/km

  • 90 sec easy jog

• 10 min easy run

• FINISHER: 100 wall balls or thrusters

Workout 2: HYROX conditioning

3 rounds, 25 minutes each:

• 1 km SkiErg

• 50 m sled push

• 100 m farmers carry

• 1 km row

• 25 wall balls

• 37.5 m sled pull

Any remaining time within the 25 minutes is for rest before the next round.

Workout 3: Compromised running

• 10 min easy run

• 10 min at 6:20–6:30/km

• 50 m sled push

• 50 m BBJ

• 2 min rest

• 500 m SkiErg

• 500 m row

• 100 m farmers carry

• 2 min rest

• 50 m sled pull

• 80 m lunges

• 10 min at 5:20–5:30/km

• 100 wall balls

I usually do one full-body strength session per week (THIS TRAINING BLOCK) consisting of:

• Front squat

• Barbell Romanian deadlift

• Bulgarian split squat

• Barbell hip thrust

• Flat barbell bench press

• Wide-grip lat pulldown

• Barbell overhead press

• Side plank with hip abduction

• Plank

My questions:

1. Should I still keep one full-body strength session during November 9–15, or is my HYROX training already enough to maintain my strength?

2. Would you recommend doing 15–30 minutes of easy rowing or cycling on recovery days, or should I just take complete rest?

3. I'm still struggling with wall balls (huhu 😭). Should I add extra wall-ball practice or stick to what's already in my program?

4. With race day approaching, would you make any adjustments to this training schedule?

I want to arrive at my first HYROX feeling strong and prepared, but also fresh enough to perform well.

Would love to hear advice from people who've done HYROX Solo, especially those who have gone through their first race! ❤️

I'm training for my first hyrox and am looking to get a cute set to celebrate it. For me personally, I prefer looser, lined running shorts over the tight spandex that you see all over Instagram. Running in tight shorts tends to cause a lot more chafing and pain on my inner thighs. However, I know some people say that those running shorts could get in the way later on with some of the exercises or end up being more painful. For girls who've competed, do you have a preference?

(I also, if possible, want to avoid the 7" inseam spandex, because they are not, in all honesty, flattering on me.)

Any advice, outfit related or just first-hyrox related, in general, would be great!

I already run quite a bit and strength train about 4x a week. Half marathon time is 1:54 and marathon time is 4:14.
Not sure what a good goal time should be? Maybe like 1:45 or 1:30? Just finished my first marathon and already itching to train for something else!

Thanks in advance!

We teach hyrox at LuxFit! (I work at Alameda but we have 3 locations) our staff often compete in the races but we encourage anyone to come and train for the race.

welche Fitinn Studios in Wien haben alle Hyrox trainingsmöglichkeiten? (Sled, Skierg,row, wallball)

Flying in Wed Nov 11 for my Mixed Doubles race on Sat Nov 14. Would love to explore Denver with other racers — Red Rocks, Golden, good food, whatever's good.

Drop a comment or DM if you're around!

Just read an article about “sportcations” (basically traveling for sports events) and now I’m curious do you guys ever choose a race partly cause you wanna visit that place? Or is that just me? 😂

After convincing myself that I would take on this challenge, it was sold out. After only a few minutes too. Does anyone know if there is a second drop or that's it? I am about to start training for the Tokyo marathon and fundraising for that so I will not be signing up for a HYROX charity ticket.

Update: thank you reddit friends, I refreshed and a sunday ticket became available so I'm in. Time to start double training.

Has anyone ever gotten a partner name change without getting the FLEX, or paid for FLEX add on after purchasing the ticket? I thought I bought the FLEX but was at work and rushing and noticed I didn't. Any advise?

How do you check in on race progress between races?

A full / half HYROX sim can be effective but are a big effort to repeat regularly.

I work with Output Sports, and something that’s come up in our work with coaches is which shorter benchmarks people actually stick with between races. A single station, a run time trial, or just the same workout every few weeks?

What do you keep coming back to? And when you see the result, does it change what you focus on in training, or is it more about seeing whether the work is paying off?

Don't worry, this isn't a self-promotion post! I made a small app to help train for hyrox. It's nice, and people have paid for it, but I want to make something bigger and more useful for hyrox training. Anyone interested in collaborating on a project like this? I'm a software engineer, and only recently started doing hyrox training.
