Super fun weekend in NYC! Improved from last year, but definitely have some work to do. I’ve decided to lean into Hyrox specific training a bit more over the next 4-6 months.
Next up, October 9th…in Geneva, Switzerland
If you’re someone like me who wants to get better at Hyrox, but wants to maintain performance in other disciplines and training styles, I cannot stress the importance of periodized training enough.
Periodization allows you have an emphasis on the specific qualities that you aim to improve, while maintaining a minimum effective dose for everything else you care about. Trying to get better at something without placing an emphasis on it will only take you so far.
Here are the sessions I’ll be prioritizing each week, over the next 4 months:
- Interval Running
- Tempo/threshold runs
- Long/easy runs/ergs
- Hyrox Specific Sessions (stations + compromised running)
- Sprints, Jumps, Lower Body Strength
- Upper Body Strength/Med Ball Throws (likely paired with a run on same day)
- 1 to 2 Crossfit style metcons per week (I like to keep some flexibility in my schedule so I can still take class, compete, and workout with others at the gym).
This program format will undoubtedly allow me to progress qualities that are key for Hyrox performance, while holding on to as much strength and athleticism as possible !

Following a sensible, practical plan, and staying healthy are the most important factors for improvement. I help people with both!
