3 hacks for your next Hyrox race

1. Use performance supplements

A few supplements have actual research behind them for improving performance:

Beet root powder
Beta alanine
Caffeine
Sodium bicarbonate

These can help with:
Endurance
Repeat efforts
Fatigue resistance
Race-day performance

But remember:

Nothing new on race day.

Practice all of them in training first.

2. Wear a nasal strip

This is one of the simplest race-day upgrades.

Many athletes find nasal strips help improve airflow, make breathing feel easier, and reduce the feeling of being air hungry late in the race.

Small improvement.
Big difference over 60–90 minutes.

3. Wear gloves for the sled pull and Farmers Carry

Grip fatigue is real.

If your grip starts to go:
Your sled pull slows down
Your carries become more difficult
Your confidence drops

A good pair of gloves can improve comfort, reduce slipping, and help preserve your grip for later stations.

None of these replace training.

But if your fitness is already there, these small details can help you get more out of it on race day.
