MY HYROX JOURNEY
I discovered Hyrox in 2024 and joined my current Hyrox gym in September 2024. I have since completed 2 Hyrox simulations, and 1 Hyrox Competition – both doubles.

HOW DID WE SHAVE 5 MINUTES OFF OUR TIME?
Consistency. Working to our strengths. Working on our weaknesses.

We knew we were strong on the stations but could definitely improve our running, and so we knew which training should take priority. Committing to a short fast run, a long run, and a session of interval training per week allowed us to improve our cardiovascular fitness so we could complete those 1km runs between stations at a faster pace, and with higher recovery.
