HYROX World Championships: See How Our Athletes Are Preparing for the Competition

Let's see what they've been up to.Jump to:Training & Preparation
With the World Championships coming up, what are you doing to prepare?
I normally prep for the World Championship in the same way that I prep for the rest of the season. I like to be in my normal environment with equipment I know and surround myself with things I am used to.
For me, a routine environment is the most important thing for the preparation. The difference from the rest of the season is that I am even more focused and put more emphasis on every single session of training as well as the recovery.I have been spending some time above 7000' for altitude training, as well as heat training in the sauna. Besides that, just regular peak phase protocol.

Advice from the Pros
What is your best advice for those looking to get into HYROX?
Don't just view the 8 stations and 8 runs as the content of your training. HYROX and the training is very varied and the variation is what makes it so much fun to train for.
Keep it simple, progress things gradually, challenge yourself, and get input from those who have done it before.
