HYROX PREPARATION PROGRAMME IN REDDITCH

PREPARE FOR YOUR NEXT HYROX EVENT WITH ATHENA PERFORMANCE

 

HYROX IS ONE OF THE FASTEST GROWING FITNESS RACES IN THE WORLD. UNLIKE MANY FITNESS EVENTS, HYROX REQUIRES ATHLETES TO TRANSITION REPEATEDLY BETWEEN RUNNING AND FUNCTIONAL FITNESS STATIONS. THIS CREATES A UNIQUE PHYSICAL DEMAND THAT REWARDS THOSE WHO FOLLOW A STRUCTURED HYROX TRAINING PLAN.

​

OUR HYROX COACHING IN REDDITCH FOCUSES ON DEVELOPING THE KEY PERFORMANCE FACTORS REQUIRED FOR SUCCESS. WE HELP MEMBERS BUILD STRENGTH FOR THE FUNCTIONAL WORK STATIONS, IMPROVE RUNNING FITNESS FOR THE 8KM OF RUNNING REQUIRED THROUGHOUT THE EVENT AND DEVELOP THE CONDITIONING NEEDED TO MAINTAIN PERFORMANCE FROM START TO FINISH. RATHER THAN FOLLOWING A GENERIC FITNESS PROGRAMME, YOU WILL TRAIN WITH A CLEAR PURPOSE AND A PLAN DESIGNED AROUND HYROX PERFORMANCE.

 

WHAT IS HYROX TRAINING?

 

HYROX IS A GLOBAL FITNESS RACE THAT COMBINES RUNNING WITH FUNCTIONAL FITNESS CHALLENGES. PARTICIPANTS COMPLETE EIGHT 1KM RUNS INTERSPERSED WITH EIGHT DIFFERENT WORKOUT STATIONS.

​

UNDERSTANDING THE FORMAT

 

WHILE THE EXACT CHALLENGES REMAIN CONSISTENT ACROSS EVENTS, SUCCESS REQUIRES THE ABILITY TO PERFORM UNDER FATIGUE. ATHLETES MUST TRANSITION EFFICIENTLY BETWEEN RUNNING AND STRENGTH-BASED TASKS WHILE MANAGING THEIR ENERGY OUTPUT ACROSS THE ENTIRE EVENT.

​

THE PHYSICAL DEMANDS OF HYROX

 

HYROX IS NOT PURELY A RUNNING EVENT AND IT IS NOT PURELY A STRENGTH EVENT.
IT REQUIRES:

​

 

• EXCELLENT CARDIOVASCULAR FITNESS

• MUSCULAR ENDURANCE

• FULL BODY STRENGTH

• WORK CAPACITY

• MENTAL TOUGHNESS

• EFFICIENT PACING

 

THE ATHLETES WHO PERFORM BEST ARE USUALLY THOSE WHO HAVE PREPARED ACROSS ALL OF THESE AREAS.
 

WHY GENERIC FITNESS TRAINING IS NOT ENOUGH

 

MANY PEOPLE ATTEMPT TO PREPARE FOR HYROX THROUGH GENERAL GYM WORKOUTS OR RANDOM HIGH-INTENSITY SESSIONS.

​

WHILE THIS MAY IMPROVE GENERAL FITNESS, IT DOES NOT NECESSARILY PREPARE YOU FOR THE SPECIFIC PHYSICAL DEMANDS OF A HYROX EVENT.

​

A DEDICATED HYROX PREPARATION PROGRAMME PROVIDES A MORE TARGETED APPROACH THAT DEVELOPS THE STRENGTH, ENDURANCE AND MOVEMENT EFFICIENCY REQUIRED FOR COMPETITION.

​

WHAT DOES A HYROX PREPARATION PROGRAMME INCLUDE?

​

STRENGTH DEVELOPMENT

 

STRENGTH PLAYS A MAJOR ROLE IN HYROX PERFORMANCE. FROM SLED PUSHES AND PULLS TO FARMER’S CARRIES AND WALL BALLS, THE EVENT REWARDS ATHLETES WHO CAN PRODUCE FORCE EFFICIENTLY UNDER FATIGUE.

​

OUR HYROX STRENGTH AND CONDITIONING PROGRAMME HELPS DEVELOP FUNCTIONAL STRENGTH THAT TRANSFERS DIRECTLY TO COMPETITION.

​

RUNNING PERFORMANCE

 

RUNNING OFTEN HAS THE BIGGEST IMPACT ON OVERALL HYROX RESULTS. EIGHT KILOMETRES OF RUNNING ACCUMULATED THROUGHOUT THE EVENT REQUIRES A STRONG AEROBIC BASE, EFFICIENT RUNNING TECHNIQUE AND THE ABILITY TO RECOVER QUICKLY BETWEEN WORK STATIONS.

​

OUR HYROX ENDURANCE TRAINING FOCUSES ON IMPROVING RUNNING CAPACITY, PACING STRATEGY AND OVERALL FITNESS LEVELS.

​

ENDURANCE AND CONDITIONING

 

HYROX CHALLENGES YOUR ABILITY TO SUSTAIN HIGH OUTPUT OVER AN EXTENDED PERIOD. WE USE STRUCTURED CONDITIONING SESSIONS TO HELP DEVELOP THE WORK CAPACITY NEEDED TO MAINTAIN PERFORMANCE THROUGHOUT THE EVENT.

​

EVENT-SPECIFIC TRAINING

 

UNDERSTANDING THE MOVEMENTS AND TRANSITIONS WITHIN HYROX IS ESSENTIAL. OUR HYROX FITNESS TRAINING IN REDDITCH INCLUDES PRACTICAL PREPARATION FOR THE SPECIFIC CHALLENGES YOU WILL FACE ON RACE DAY.

​

RECOVERY AND PROGRESSION

 

TRAINING HARD IS IMPORTANT, BUT RECOVERING PROPERLY IS EQUALLY CRITICAL. OUR COACHES HELP MEMBERS MANAGE TRAINING LOADS, RECOVERY AND PROGRESSION TO ENSURE CONSISTENT IMPROVEMENT LEADING INTO COMPETITION.
 

STRENGTH AND CONDITIONING FOR HYROX PERFORMANCE

 

A STRONG STRENGTH AND CONDITIONING FOUNDATION CAN MAKE A SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCE TO HYROX PERFORMANCE. STRONGER ATHLETES TYPICALLY FIND IT EASIER TO COMPLETE THE FUNCTIONAL FITNESS STATIONS EFFICIENTLY WHILE CONSERVING ENERGY FOR THE RUNNING ELEMENTS OF THE EVENT.

​

AT ATHENA PERFORMANCE, WE DEVELOP STRENGTH AND BUILD MUSCLE THROUGH STRUCTURED PROGRAMMING THAT SUPPORTS HYROX PERFORMANCE RATHER THAN PURSUING STRENGTH FOR ITS OWN SAKE.

​

OUR APPROACH FOCUSES ON DEVELOPING THE PHYSICAL QUALITIES THAT HELP ATHLETES MOVE BETTER, PERFORM BETTER AND RECOVER MORE EFFECTIVELY.

​

RUNNING TRAINING FOR HYROX

 

ONE OF THE MOST COMMON MISTAKES FIRST-TIME COMPETITORS MAKE IS UNDERESTIMATING THE IMPORTANCE OF RUNNING.

WHILE THE FITNESS STATIONS RECEIVE MOST OF THE ATTENTION, THE RUNNING ELEMENT OF HYROX OFTEN HAS THE GREATEST IMPACT ON OVERALL PERFORMANCE.

​

OUR HYROX TRAINING PROGRAMME IN REDDITCH HELPS MEMBERS IMPROVE:

​

• AEROBIC FITNESS

• RUNNING ECONOMY

• PACING STRATEGY

• RECOVERY BETWEEN EFFORTS

• ENDURANCE UNDER FATIGUE

 

THIS CREATES A MORE COMPLETE ATHLETE WHO CAN MAINTAIN PERFORMANCE THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE EVENT.

 

HYROX COACHING SUITABLE FOR BEGINNERS

 

IF YOU ARE ENTERING YOUR FIRST HYROX EVENT, IT IS NORMAL TO FEEL UNSURE ABOUT HOW TO PREPARE. MANY FIRST-TIME COMPETITORS ASSUME THEY NEED TO BE AN ELITE ATHLETE BEFORE THEY START TRAINING FOR HYROX.

​

THE REALITY IS THAT A STRUCTURED HYROX FITNESS PROGRAMME FOR FIRST-TIME COMPETITORS CAN HELP BUILD THE CONFIDENCE, FITNESS AND TECHNICAL UNDERSTANDING REQUIRED TO COMPLETE THE EVENT SUCCESSFULLY. OUR COACHES HELP BEGINNERS UNDERSTAND THE EVENT FORMAT, IMPROVE FITNESS LEVELS AND PREPARE STEP BY STEP FOR COMPETITION DAY.

​

DO I NEED TO BE FIT TO START HYROX TRAINING

​

NO. YOU CAN START AT YOUR CURRENT FITNESS LEVEL AND PROGRESS OVER TIME WITH SUPPORT FROM OUR COACHES.

​

ADVANCED HYROX COACHING FOR EXPERIENCED COMPETITORS
