Perfect HYROX nutrition
Your nutrition can absolutely change your race.
Not just what you eat during the race…
But what you do the days leading into it too.
2–3 days before race day:
Increase carbohydrates
Hydrate aggressively
Add electrolytes daily
Don’t under eat trying to stay “lean”
Night before:
Simple high carb dinner
Low fiber
Low fat
Nothing super heavy or experimental
Race morning:
2–4 hours before race:
Easy to digest carbs + protein
Examples:
Bagel + banana + protein shake
Oatmeal + honey + fruit
Rice + eggs
Pre race supplements I like:
Caffeine
Beet root powder
Sodium bicarbonate
Beta alanine
Electrolytes
BUT…
Nothing new on race day.
Practice all of this in training first.
During the race:
Your fueling should depend on your expected finish time.
Under 75 min:
Usually no gels or maybe 1
75–90 min:
1 gel around halfway
90–120+ min:
2–3 gels throughout the race

Most athletes under fuel…
