Your Hyrox race can be ruined in the first 10 minutes.
Not because you’re unfit.
Because you get emotional.
The race starts.
The crowd is loud.
Everyone around you is moving fast.
You feel amazing.
So you run the first kilometer too hard.
Then you get on the Ski Erg and go even harder.
And now you’re spending the rest of the race trying to recover from the first 10 minutes.
That’s the mistake.
The beginning of a Hyrox race should feel controlled.
You should know:
Your first run pace.
Your Ski Erg pace.
Your target strokes per minute.
And you should have the discipline to stick to them.
Think about a marathon.
You wouldn’t try to make mile two your fastest mile of the race.
Hyrox is no different.
The goal is not to feel like a hero in the first 10 minutes.
The goal is to still be racing well 50 minutes later.
Control the start and you give yourself a chance to control the whole race.
