As I get ready for HYROX with my twin sis (9/3/26 DC), I’m working around not having access to rower, SkiErg, sandbags, or wall balls. I still want to train the same energy systems and movement patterns, so I’m subbing smart. Thinking things like treadmill intervals or assault bike for engine work, DB thrusters or med ball slams for wall balls, heavy lunges or carries for sandbags, and banded pulls or high-rep pull variations for SkiErg. For those who’ve trained HYROX without full equipment, what substitutions have worked best for you that actually carry over on race day?

Just wanted to share a quick note of gratitude with you all. Massive thanks to @Gustavo Vaz Tostes , @Chris Hinshaw and @Rhyss Murty I’m genuinely grateful to be part of this group and for everything I’ve learned over the past few months. I’ve gone from an 82 minute racer to sub 75 in just over three months, and that’s come down to the guidance, the structure, and actually applying what’s here. This is a seriously good platform. If you put the work in, go through the material properly and commit to it, the results will come. Appreciate you all.

A MASSIVE SHOUT OUT TO OUR MEMBER AND HYBRID RACER ATHLETE @Alexis Bernier WHO HAS JUST STAMPED HIS TICKET TO THE HYROX WORLDS CHAMPIONSHIP ELITE 15 DOUBLES!! What an amazing performance tonight Alexis. You and big Marko showed up and smashed it. Not to mention a new PB 49:02. Amazing to see all the hard work you are putting in, and how much you are trusting the process! So much yet to come buddy!! LET'S GOOOOO!! The work continues from Monday. #HybridRacerProgram

So I won’t be racing again until December. I would have liked to in June but Sydney race is one while I am in Canada watching the World Cup. Brisbane didn’t go as I wanted to but in all honesty went as well as expected. Due to my last 8 weeks of training being inconsistent after starting my football season My question is, this far out what is the best place to start? Do I try to rebuild raw strength, am I better doing longer steady state run and conditioning a couple of times a week? My main issue was pushing too hard first half and not having the capacity to back it up second half
