Hi everyone, I wanted to share a short reflection after racing HYROX this past weekend, in case it’s useful for others going through a similar process. I returned to HYROX almost two years after my last race, coming off a not-so-fun period that included a complete ankle ligament rupture and a bone contusion. I only started running with minimal pain about four months ago, so at the beginning of the 12-week prep my expectations were… let’s say carefully optimistic. As the weeks went by, confidence slowly built and the idea of a PB stopped feeling crazy and started feeling possible. In the end, I took almost 4 minutes off my previous best and had one of the most controlled races I can remember. Apart from the first run — where adrenaline still convinces me I’m fitter than I really am — four of my run segments were identical to the second. The gap between my fastest and slowest was just 16 seconds, which for me felt like a small miracle. The workouts were solid, but also gave me a clear lesson. In a few stations I was probably too cautious. Lack of confidence and aggression meant I left some time on the table. Ironically, some of the workouts I thought were strengths ended up being weaker on race day — most likely because I’d got a bit too comfortable with them in training. A good reminder that comfort can quietly become complacency. What really stood out to me was how clean the overall strategy felt. The guidance and discussions within this community helped me race with much more clarity and intention. The programming made complete sense, the taper felt spot on, and I arrived on the start line full of energy and motivation — exactly how you want to feel. I’m now shifting focus into a longer development phase with the Hybrid Racer Program and aiming toward a race in July. The goal is to keep building on this foundation, especially by improving execution and confidence within the workouts. Taking another few minutes off of PB might be to ambitious — but that’s part of the fun.

Hi everyone — I’ve got a question that’s been coming up more and more as I look back at races. No matter how well the rest of the race goes, the first run loop often feels the most chaotic: higher anxiety, breathing that won’t settle, and heart rate that feels disconnected from what I can hold later in the race. I’ve experimented with short, intense warm-ups as well as longer, more progressive ones with changes in intensity, but I still haven’t quite found the right focus. As I get older, I definitely feel like I need more time to “warm the engine” 😄 — but how much is enough, and when does more become too much? From your experience, how do you approach pre-race warm-up to reduce that first-loop disruption? • What key elements do you prioritise (physical, respiratory, psychological)? • How close to race start do you like athletes to finish warming up? • And how much of this is solved by the warm-up itself versus an intentional strategy for the first minutes of the race? What principles help athletes arrive at the start line calmer, more settled, focused on the task, and able to find rhythm early? Curious to hear your thoughts.

Hey Guys...there is something new coming to skool this Feb... Each month inside Hybrid Racer, we will: - Pick ONE HYROX station - Spend a full month training it properly - Build from test → progress → retest No random workouts No junk volume No guessing Just a structured progression designed to make that station feel manageable on race day. How it works: - You start with a baseline test - You train the station through daily posted sessions in the classroom - You finish with a retest - Leaderboard updated monthly This isn’t just about getting better at the station. It carries over to: - Fatigue resistance - Transitions - Running after the station - Overall race confidence Who this is for? If you’ve ever thought: “Everything was fine… until that station.” This is for you. It is also going to consist of quick add-on drills that you can add to your current program no problem! February 👀 February will be the first Station Challenge. I already got the stations you struggle with in a previous post last week so we will announce the first station soon! Why we’re doing this? HYROX isn’t about being good at everything, it's about not falling apart at the wrong moment. This challenge is about fixing the exact moments that cost you time, places and confidence. More details coming soon 💪🏽🔥 Are you going to join the challenge in Feb?? Let us know in the comments below!
