You’re ruining your Hyrox workouts.

And it might have nothing to do with your training.

You’re just not fueling them properly.

I see athletes show up to a hard Hyrox workout with barely any carbohydrates in their system and then wonder why they:

Feel flat.

Can’t hold their run pace.

Fall apart halfway through.

And struggle to hit the intensity the workout actually calls for.

Then they think they need to get fitter.

You might just need to eat more carbs.

Carbohydrates are your body’s primary fuel source for the type of higher intensity work we do in Hyrox.

So before a hard session, fuel for the work you’re about to do.

Depending on the timing and length of the workout, that could be:

A bagel.

Oatmeal.

Rice.

Bananas.

Toast with honey.

Sports drink.

Or another easy to digest carbohydrate source that you know works for you.

Your hard workouts are where you’re asking your body to perform.

Stop showing up with an empty gas tank and expecting a full gas pedal.
