You’re making a huge mistake in your Hyrox training.

Too much station work.

Not enough running.

I get why it happens.

The stations are more fun.

They feel more “Hyrox.”

They make better content.

But the race still includes 8 kilometers of running.

And your running fitness impacts every station after it.

If your aerobic base is weak:

You arrive at the sleds too fatigued.

Your burpees feel harder than they should.

Your lunges fall apart.

Your wall balls become survival.

That doesn’t mean station work is not important.

You still need to master the mechanics.

You still need to practice race specific skills.

But for most athletes, the foundation should be running.

Build the engine first.

Then use station work to make that engine more efficient on race day.

Don’t let the most exciting part of Hyrox distract you from the most important part.
