Avoid doing this in your HYROX training
Too much intensity.
You don’t need 5 HIIT classes a week.
It feels productive.
You’re sweating.
Your heart rate is high.
But it’s not what HYROX requires.
When everything is hard:
You don’t recover
You don’t build your aerobic base
You plateau or burn out
HYROX is a 60–90 minute race.
That demands:
A strong aerobic engine
Consistent pacing
The ability to repeat effort
Not just short bursts of intensity.
A better approach:
2 hard sessions per week
1 HYROX-style workout
More easy cardio
More running
More controlled effort
That’s how you actually improve.
Less chaos.
More structure.
Train for the race… not the sweat.
