Great Hyrox training podcast
This podcast is where you want to come if you’re interested in the science behind effective Hyrox training. It’s got the right balance of technical detail with real-world application, to both top-end athletes and novices alike. I’m sure it’ll continue to develop as it’s made a very strong start. Can fully recommend.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

HYROX Specificity: Compromised Running, Race Pacing & Sims

Q: What do you think is the real value of a full and partial racing, particularly for athletes who race only once or twice a year?

A simulation can work as an occasional, sub-race-effort rehearsal for kit, nutrition, transitions, and tactics, especially for athletes who rarely race. The hosts caution that a full race-intensity simulation has a high recovery cost, and doubles partners can often prepare more efficiently through discussion and communication practice.

HYROX Specificity: Compromised Running, Race Pacing & Sims

Q: Does every HYROX athlete need a compromise run in session each week, or should the frequency depend on experience, training phase, and the athlete's main limit?

They say most athletes who take racing seriously can benefit from practicing compromised running, but it need not be hard or weekly for everyone. Very novice athletes may be better served by prioritizing straightforward running, while experienced athletes can use compromised work for race-specific practice or capacity building.

The Science of HYROX Performance with Gommaar D’Hulst

Q: Where are athletes running relative to VT2 or LT2 during a HYROX race, and who can run closest to threshold?

Research discussed in the episode found that running speed falls as athletes progress through the race, even while accumulated station fatigue keeps physiological strain high. D'Hulst says trained athletes may hold race pace close to their measured threshold speed, while less-developed athletes often have a larger gap.

The Science of HYROX Performance with Gommaar D’Hulst

Q: Can you take us through the full HYROX ramp test and what it is designed to tell coaches and researchers?

The test alternates burpee broad jumps, wall balls and running in progressive five-minute blocks, increasing repetitions and treadmill speed until the athlete cannot continue. It can measure physiological variables such as VO2 max and thresholds, then classify athlete profiles and inform individualized training.

How hard should Hyrox training be?

Q: How frequently should athletes train clearly above threshold, and when does pushing harder help rather than simply add fatigue?

Periodically include VO2-focused work in the buildup, especially 1-2 weeks out from a race, but avoid excessive high-intensity volume early in the plan; near race day, shorter, higher-intensity blocks can be useful if the athlete can recover and maintain race-specific performance.
