Hi!
Which Athletica running plan should I choose for a HYROX competition? I’d also like tips on how to combine the plan with other training without it having too much of a negative impact.
HYROX is a fitness race that combines endurance and strength. It consists of 8 x 1 km runs, each followed by a functional workout station, such as sled pushes, rowing, burpee broad jumps, and sandbag lunges.
Hi @Mlindberg. Recommend you go with the 5k run plan and use daily availability to intermix rowing and S&C into your plan in accordance with your schedule. Use your plan as a base foundation and then modify using some of the ideas in our recent podcast with Martin and Dan here: HYROX Solved?! The HYBRID Athlete Puzzles Becomes Clearer?! - with Dr Dan Plews & Dr Martin Buchheit - HiitScience
@Prof thank you, great stuff! My guess would have been the half marathon plan since the pace is similar in hyrox (as mentioned in the podcast). Also the duration is about the same. So, it would be interesting to hear why you beleive in the 5k plan? The 5k plan looks great though and I think I would supplement with some rowing as you suggest and maybe a longer bike ride in Z1 or low Z2 as suggested in the podcast.
