Top Tips for HYROX Success: Running and Strength Training

Want to excel in HYROX? Our physiotherapist, Simon Brouwer, the first runner-up in the Men’s DOUBLES in May 2024 in Taiwan, dives into the crucial aspects of training, emphasising running techniques and strength-building exercises. From interval training to compound movements.

 

Simon shares his experience in HYROX.

“The number one thing I encourage everyone to focus on is running. Literally, run, run, run! It’s essential for preparing for HYROX.”

 

As Simon trained for HYROX, he made significant adjustments to his routine:

• Shifted Focus: Moved from traditional bodybuilding to compound movements.
• Interval Training: Transitioned from long-distance runs to shorter, faster intervals to boost speed and aerobic capacity.
• Track Workouts: Concentrated on sharp workouts since HYROX involves running 1 km segments.
• Incorporated movement-based exercises: like lunges and squats
