Stimulus

Target effort: RPE 8 out of 10

Hard and continuous. There is no rest between the blocks, so pace the first one.

The sled is as heavy as possible, but it should keep moving. Stopping and restarting costs more than going lighter.

Scale it to your level
Level How to do it
Beginner 2 + 2 rounds, 12/10 cal, a lighter sled, 10 m burpee broad jumps, 200 m run, KB 2 x 16/12 kg, 15 wall balls.
Intermediate As written.
Pro As written with the sled at or above 150/100 kg and wall balls at 9/6 kg.
Coach notes
  1. Bike: build the calories gradually. A fast start leaves your legs empty for the sled.
  2. Sled push: low hips, arms straight, short powerful steps.
  3. Use the deadlifts as a grip warm-up for the farmers carry: same kettlebells, no extra setup.
  4. Split the 30 wall balls, for example 15 + 15 or 10 + 10 + 10.

Why this workout works

Most HYROX athletes are strong in either running or stations. This workout puts both under pressure and covers six of the eight stations.

Because there is no rest between the blocks, you learn to keep working when you are already tired.
