HYROX Training Essentials: Build Strength, Endurance & Prevent Injuries (by Sportsperformance Physiotherapy)

HYROX is a unique hybrid event that combines running and strength workouts. Prepare for the hybrid challenge of HYROX!

 

Our physiotherapist, Tim Lam, the first runner-up in the Men’s DOUBLES in May 2024 in Taiwan, shares essential training strategies for HYROX, focusing on building strength and endurance while avoiding common injuries. Learn effective techniques for running, grip strength, and injury prevention to maximize your performance in this hybrid event.

 

Tim shares his journey from a strength athlete to preparing for HYROX.
“I wasn't exposed to a lot of running, so I had to build my mileage. HYROX requires you to run while compromised, which is quite different from long-distance running!”

 

Key Exercises:

  • Split Squats: Perfect for building leg strength and stability.
  • Lunges: Mimic the split stance needed for various HYROX challenges.
