How to structure your Hyrox running training
If you want to perform well in Hyrox…
You can’t just run like you’re training for a race.
You need a smarter approach.
Here’s how to structure it:
✅ 60–70% Easy Running
This is your foundation.
Most of your running should feel controlled and sustainable.
You should be able to hold a conversation.
This builds:
• Aerobic capacity
• Recovery ability
• Durability for race day
✅ Hyrox-Specific Running
This is where things get more targeted.
Think:
• Running after fatigue
• Compromised efforts
• Practicing pacing between stations
Examples:
• 1km run → workout → repeat
• Broken intervals with short rest
• Running on tired legs
✅ Tempo Runs
These help you hold a strong, steady pace.
Not all-out.
Not easy.
Just below your threshold.
This improves:
• Race pace control
• Efficiency
• Mental toughness
The key thing to remember:
You’re not just training to run.
You’re training to run well under fatigue.
Think long term.
