I used to think Hyrox training was all about intensity.
The harder I trained…
The faster I’d race.
At least that’s what I believed.
So every workout became a competition.
Every session had to hurt.
Every Hyrox workout had to leave me exhausted.
Then I broke an hour.
And something surprised me.
It felt…
Smooth.
Not easy.
But controlled.
I wasn’t sprinting every run.
I wasn’t redlining every station.
I was moving efficiently.
My pacing was dialed in.
My technique held together.
I knew exactly when to push and when to back off.
That’s when I realized…
The best Hyrox athletes don’t look like they’re trying the hardest.
They look like they’re wasting the least amount of energy.
Today, I don’t chase intensity.
I chase efficiency.
Because when you master the mechanics, build your aerobic engine, and race with a plan…
Fast starts to feel smooth.
And that’s when your biggest PRs happen.
