Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

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.
How hard should Hyrox training be?
Q: What is the role of moderate or tempo running in Hyrox rather than simply choosing easy running or threshold work?
Tempo running provides a productive middle ground—it's above LT1 but below max threshold, enabling longer quality runs with less fatigue than pure threshold work and preserving quality for the second session later in the week.
How hard should Hyrox training be?
Q: How much threshold work can a Hyrox athlete productively absorb each week, and should the upper limit be tied to total training volume?
Threshold work should be balanced with overall volume and recovery; for many athletes, 30-40 minutes per threshold session, two to three times per week, is a practical maximum, with total weekly volume guiding adjustments rather than a fixed percentage.
How hard should Hyrox training be?
Q: So the first question is, is the idea that 70 to 80 percent of training should be easy, a useful rule? And what tends to happen when an athlete drifts towards 50-50 split between easy and harder work?
The answer depends on the individual and their total volume; higher intensity work can be beneficial short-term, but long-term, the sustainable approach is to maintain a majority of easy work so athletes can recover and accumulate meaningful aerobic and strength adaptations, with a cap on high-intensity sessions to avoid excessive fatigue.

Q: What's your approach to burpees and your quickness there?
Burpees come from years of plyometric work; I focus on efficient knee-up technique and a smooth, consistent jump to stay fast through the set and keep my run after it strong.
