With the HYROX season about to kick off we've decided to share exclusive advice from the Master Trainer himself, Jake Dearden. Here are some top tips to improve your running for HYROX.
Regular Training
Develop your running speed and efficiency leading up to Hyrox by running at least 2-3 times a week.
Intervals
Build speed with the incorporation of intervals into your training, on either a treadmill or track.
Hill Runs
Get used to running on fatigued legs by running hills to increase strength and power.
Strength Training
Commit plenty of gym time to working on your legs, as strong leg muscles will help get you through the many challenges of Hyrox.
Endurance
Hyrox is 60–90-minute event, so get accustomed to running for a long period by completing long runs.
Rest
Incorporate regular breaks in your training — you can’t keep going at 100% every day.
