I\u2019ve been training in running and at the gym for several years, and I needed a new challenge, some variety in my workouts while still keeping my passion for running and physical training. That\u2019s how I decided to sign up for a double HYROX<\/a> in Toronto.<\/p>\n

HYROX: what is it?<\/h2>\n

It\u2019s a hybrid competition that combines 8 kilometers of running and 8 functional workout stations. The idea is to alternate 1 km of running with one workout station and repeat that 8 times. It\u2019s an intense sport that tests your endurance, strength and strategy. What I love about this event is that it\u2019s really accessible to everyone thanks to the different participation formats: individual, doubles, relay and different divisions.<\/p>\n

Lo\u00efka\u2019s tips<\/h2>\n

Don\u2019t underestimate the running<\/h3>\n

The running portion makes up 80% of the competition. If I had only one tip to give, it would be to train your running to the point where it feels \u201ceasy\u201d. We tend to tell ourselves that \u201c1 km at a time isn\u2019t so bad\u201d, but remember that it\u2019s a total of 8 km, ON TOP of the 8 workout stations. You can\u2019t afford to be exhausted just from the laps of running. Oh, and make sure you count your laps correctly\u2026 it would be a shame to do one too many by mistake!<\/p>\n

Game plan as a team<\/h3>\n

Every second counts. If you\u2019re competing as a team, make sure you practice the transitions together, run together and, above all, really listen to each other, because everything is done as a pair. Make a plan to decide who starts and who finishes each station according to your strengths and weaknesses, because there are no rules about how you can split your efforts at each station. I even recommend that the faster\/more skilled runner matches the pace of their (slower) teammate to allow each person to catch their breath at different times.<\/p>\n

Practice the movements properly<\/h3>\n

It\u2019s all about saving time. So practice, practice and practice each of the movements for the 8 stations so you\u2019ll feel comfortable with the equipment there, but especially to avoid any injuries during your competition. See the events here.<\/a><\/p>\n

Other tips<\/h3>\n
    \n
  • There\u2019s a big screen that tells you where you are in the competition. Your name can scroll by quite quickly, so knowing the order of the stations is a good idea so you don\u2019t feel lost on site.<\/li>\n
  • Your time only stops at the very end, so keep running, even in the transition zones between stations.<\/li>\n
  • Nothing new on race day: hydrate and fuel the way you\u2019re used to.<\/li>\n
  • Read up on the rules on the website before the race, because penalties can be given by the judges for simple mistakes.<\/li>\n
  • And most importantly\u2026 have fun!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    In the end, it\u2019s an amazing event that lets you train both your cardio and your overall muscular strength, while pushing yourself, whether alone or as a team. I highly recommend it!<\/p>\n
