Why the Ski Erg is your worst station in Hyrox đ
Itâs probably not because youâre bad at the Ski Erg.
Youâre making two huge mistakes.
1. You go out WAY too hot.
The race starts.
Adrenaline is high.
Music is blasting.
You feel amazing.
So you rip the Ski Erg.
Think about a marathonâŠ
Your second mile should NEVER be your fastest mile of the race.
But in Hyrox, thatâs basically what youâre doing when you crush the Ski Erg.
Youâre spending energy you need for the next 7 runs and 7 stations.
Know your target pace.
Know your strokes per minute.
And have the discipline to stay there.
2. Your technique is suboptimal.
Youâre pulling with your arms.
Youâre standing too tall.
Youâre rushing the recovery.
Youâre leaking energy every single stroke.
Over 1,000 meters, those little energy leaks add up.
The Ski Erg isnât about seeing how fast you can finish 1,000 meters.
Itâs about seeing how efficiently you can finish 1,000 meters and still race the next hour.
Slow down.
