How Much Training Do You Really Need to Do Hyrox?
The article discusses the upcoming Hyrox doubles race that two Lifehacker writers will compete in, exploring how little training is necessary to participate. Hyrox is a unique competition that combines running with functional workout stations, requiring both endurance and strength. The writers plan to leverage their individual strengths to navigate the challenges of the event while examining proper training methods.
- ▪Hyrox is a competition that involves running 1 km followed by a functional workout station, repeated eight times.
- ▪Competitors can participate solo, in doubles, or as part of a relay team, with strategies varying based on the format.
- ▪A dedicated training plan for Hyrox should ideally start 12 to 16 weeks before the event to build endurance and strength.

It's something of a joint experiment to see just how little training you can get away with before showing up to one of these things. Hopefully, we will each bring our respective strengths to the competition, cover for the other's weaknesses, and survive.
