With Sydney Hyrox just 15 weeks away, we break down exactly why getting your prep locked in now, not later, is the difference between surviving race day and actually enjoying it.

In this episode, we walk through the three-phase training block that underpins every Hyrox Lab program: the technique and foundations phase, the build phase, and the race-specific priming phase. 

Whether you're chasing your first finish or hunting a PB, understanding how these phases stack together is what separates athletes who show up prepared from those who just wing it and hope for the best.

In this episode you'll discover:

  • Why a 14 to 16 week prep gives your body the time it actually needs to adapt, and why rushing it leads to niggles, burnout, or both
  • What your first four weeks of training should focus on (hint: it's not fitness)
  • How to structure your weekly sessions across strength, Hyrox-specific work, and running
  • The four stations most athletes underprepare for, and how to approach each one smarter
  • Why the rower is your secret weapon at the halfway mark
  • The simple race-day tactics for sandbag lunges and burpees that will save your legs when it matters most

We also get honest about our own race experiences, including what happens when you don't give yourself enough lead time, and why committing fully to your prep is just as important as signing up for the race itself.

Ready to stop winging it?

If Sydney is your next race and you want a program built around you, your schedule, your strengths, your goals, then we have you covered.
