Three tips to dominate the SkiErg in your next HYROX 1. Pull to your pockets Do not pull down to the floor. Finishing at your pockets keeps the movement efficient and prevents the overreach that spikes your heart rate. This also keeps your cadence smooth and your upper body relaxed. 2. Know your pace The SkiErg is the first station which makes it the easiest place to go too fast. The problem is you will pay for that effort on the sleds. Set a target pace before the race and hold it. The SkiErg is a rhythm station, not a power station. 3. Focus on your breathing Your breath should match your pull cycle. Inhale as the handles rise, exhale as you drive down. If you lose your breath here it becomes very difficult to settle once you start running. Keeping your respiratory rate steady lowers the cost of the next few stations. Master the SkiErg and you control the first part of the race. #HYROX #HYROXTraining #HybridAthlete #SkiErg #LiveBetterCo #HYROXAcademy #RaceDay #HybridRacing
