Stop only doing hard workouts
If every session feels hard…
You’re doing it wrong.
HYROX isn’t built on constant intensity.
It’s built on layers.
This is what most athletes miss.
They live at the top of the pyramid:
Threshold work
Tempo efforts
Hard intervals
But they skip the foundation.
And without a base, nothing holds.
This is how your training should actually look:
Bottom layer (most important):
Easy aerobic work
Zone 2 running
Longer efforts
→ This builds your engine
Next layer:
Strength & HYROX specific work
→ Build durability and efficiency
Then:
Intervals (VO2)
→ Improve speed and power
Then:
Tempo / race pace work
→ Learn how to sustain effort
Top layer (least frequent):
Threshold / high intensity
→ Push your limits when you’re ready
Most people flip this upside down.
They do the hardest stuff the most…
And ignore what actually makes them better.
A strong base builds a fast finish.
Train accordingly.
