Do you know about HIROC’s value add? Our educational events and world-class resources include everything you need to start talking about risk. More than 250 tech scaleups from across the UK applied to take part in the competition, representing the best in tech innovation across a range of sectors. 80 were shortlisted and took part in regional heats throughout June to find the 12 finalists who went head to head at Nexus, the University of Leeds’ innovation hub. And then in third place, I’d say running. I mean, it’s so obvious, but people struggle! Can you train for a HYROX at home?
Understanding exactly how to best to train for HYROX can be overwhelming. On the positive side, we know the requirements of the event so understand exactly what we are training for. On the other hand, the sport places a range of demands on the body, and so a range of training styles are needed. In particular, you need to balance the endurance needs of the event, with the requirements for strength, speed and power. Mistakes are very easily made when training for the race. Hyroc is different than the boys his age. This has earned him a place as an outcast and has even made people fear him. And nothing he does seems to make a difference. Still, he has been able to live a relatively normal life. But an accident shatters all this. Hunted by an enemy that will only stop with his death, he is forced to leave behind everything he has ever known. Alone and with no one to turn to for help, every day is a challenge to survive. Through his struggle he finds his way to a place where not everything he has been taught to believe is true. Inexplicable events surround him here and his past begins to be revealed. It’s what he always wanted, but as the answers unfold, it seems more is going on than he realized and one danger may have blinded him to another. The predictability of a HYROX event can mean many people end up doing a full HYROX simulation (or a scaled down version) every week. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with doing a run through prior to an event, or the occasional scaled down version, but to regularly be doing them likely isn’t optimal. with each rep, on the concentric part of the movement, rather than just straightening your legs, also go up on to your toes slightly, lifting your heels off the floor. This adds a little extra power and preserves energy elsewhere in the body. Note – this is a personal preference – I’ve heard other people say they don’t like this – so test it out in training. This all said, there is a time and place for HYROX simulations, or metcons that incorporate the required HYROX movements. Something to bear in mind when doing these is understanding what you are trying to achieve out of the session. For example, you may want to specifically work on your upper body one day, and give your lower body more of a rest, so include more upper body based exercises that day. Alternatively, you may be aware of specific weaknesses (perhaps based on previous races) that you want to focus on, and so would do these more regularly than other exercises. For example, I knew that sled pulls and farmers carries were a weakness for me, so once a week I included a session that looked like this:The TPE process uses the electrical field in our patented plasma torches to split apart hydrocarbons NOT heat as in pyrolysis HiiROC’s process is called Thermal Plasma Electrolysis, we often get likened to Methane Pyrolysis. Here’s why we are different: How best to train for HYROX depends a little on where you’re coming from. If we were to start with a beginner or someone who’s not familiar with HYROX, the best thing to do is build their base fitness, building endurance and strength. It’s not just aerobic endurance though that plays a part in HYROX, but also muscular endurance. For example, you need muscular endurance to be able perform 100 meters of sandbag lunges, once you are already well into the event. And then you need to be able to run another 1km after, followed by 75/100 wall balls! Bearing this in mind, some of your gym work should be at higher rep ranges than your pure strength work (more on that below).
At each HYROX event, there are a number of qualifying spaces up for grabs for the best performers in each division and age group. The number of spaces available is dependent upon the number of participants at the event. The more competitors in that division / age group, the more spaces available. Athletes are told how many spaces are available prior to the event. Properly recovering from a full HYROX can take several days, and if you’re doing them too often you could end up overly fatiguing yourself, potentially leading to injury or adversely impacting the rest of your training. It’s also generally not optimal. For example, the best way to improve your lunges probably isn’t to just do 100m of weighted lunges each week. Splitting up the total you do into more manageable sets, perhaps with heavier weights, can often be more effective, as well as being easier to recover from. For each rep, you must throw the ball up to strike the centre of the designated target (9 feet high for women, 10 feet for men). Female athletes must hit the bottom of the two targets, male athletes must strike the top target. Number two would be the lunges, because they can be overlooked. They’re towards the end, maybe an hour or an hour and 15 minutes in, and it’s 200 metres of lunging over and over again. At that point in the competition, you need to have that extra energy and your legs need to be able to manage that. So the lunges are something that you should focus on in training too. HIROC's resources are excellent! Our organization is taking managing risk exposure seriously. We’re so proud to do so!”Whether this is your first HYROX or you are returning to beat your time or try your hand in another division, sign up today to make sure you don't miss out. do your best to control your breathing throughout. I like to breath in at the bottom of the squat (which almost happens fairly naturally), and then breath out at the top of the rep, as you release the ball. when catching the ball, try to have already just started the squat movement downward. This is much more efficient than catching the ball with straight legs, and then beginning your squat. When training for wall balls in isolation, there are obviously a variety of options in terms of sets, reps, and weight of ball you could use. Periodisation and progression in your training is important. An example session might be to do 4 sets of 20 reps with the heaviest ball you can manage that for (unbroken each set), with a 2-minute rest between each set. This can then progress (perhaps in terms of rep, sets, or less rest) over time. To give some indication of automatic qualifying times, below we’ve shown what it took to automatically qualify for the 2022 HYROX World Championships if you were an athlete at the London HYROX event in April 2022.
We have teamed up with one of the fastest growing sports in the UK to bring you theopportunity to test out both your Padel skills and HYROX fitness in a fun group session... so whatare you waitingfor? when you have the ball in your hands, you want to keep it as close to the body as possible. Holding it out away from you will put extra pressure on the shoulders, and waste valuable energy.The mass-participation format was founded in 2017 and puts on races at indoor arenas across Europe and the USA, with each event hosting up to 5,000 participants, plus spectators, which creates a terrific atmosphere. It launched in the UK in 2021 and after four sold-out events in 2022, HYROX is putting on three more in 2023.
