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.

I just wanted to share some feedback because these programs have honestly been making a huge difference for me. Even though I’m not following every single session exactly (since I’m programming and competing as well), I consistently use the HYROX running and conditioning days from the app, and I mix them with some of my CrossFit training. The impact has been unreal. My 1km pace went from around 6:00/km to consistently 4:20–4:30/km in just a few months, which is a massive improvement for me. It’s not just me either — I’m also using this structure for some of my athletes, and I’m seeing incredible progress in them too. They’re currently preparing for an upcoming HYROX competition in Iran next month, and honestly… I think they’re going to crush it. Really appreciate the structure, logic, and quality of the programming. Thanks for building something this effective.

Just thought I’d leave some short feedback about my experiance so far . Im only into my first month on this platform an already really enjoying and benefiting from it . Being part of the and loving the amount of great usable information available, along with the explainations to explain the ‘why’ of the sessions and topics not just do this . A big highlight for me is not just the collection of resoursces but the access to the community and everybody’s journey , thoughts , questions and having access to and getting the support and your questions answered personally by Chris , Gus and Rhyss are invaluable ,I highly recommend this platform to other coaches and athletes to invest in upskilling themselves. Great work Guys , looking forward to things to come appricate you 🙌🏻👊🏼

Hey all, just wanted to share some feedback on my experience in here so far. I’ve only been part of the Hybrid Racer platform for a month, but I’ve learned more in that month than I did in the last twelve months of my Hyrox journey. The depth of knowledge from Gus and Chris is unreal, and the support from Rhyss has been top class. Any question I’ve asked has been answered quickly and clearly. I’m in my first full week of training on the main program now after doing the trial and the pre and post race blocks, and I have to say the difference is night and day. The sessions are so well structured and thought out. Every workout has a clear purpose and the feedback you get when you submit your sessions is fast and genuinely helpful. The live calls with Gus and Chris alone are worth the membership. Being able to ask direct questions and get guidance from people operating at that level is something you don’t get anywhere else. Incredible value, highly recommended, and I’m genuinely excited to be here and learning from the best.

Good luck to everyone racing at Hyrox Dublin this week! We’ll see you all out on the dance floor. Just want to say a massive thanks to the crew. I’ve only been here a short time but have learned so much already and I feel great. Wouldn’t normally go near a session the day before a race, but I did the activation running intervals from the FITR Hybrid Racer 5 week prep and honestly felt incredible after. Feeling ready and fired up for tomorrow. Best of luck everyone and thanks again!
