Your first HYROX race: readiness, logistics and what actually happensWhat a first HYROX race is really like, station by station: are you ready, what to wear, how the chalk and no-rep rules work, when to arrive, and how wave timing changes your day. 
HYROX rules and penalties: station standards, no-reps and how time gets addedHYROX rules and penalties for the 2026/27 season, station by station: every movement standard, the time penalties judges hand out, chalk, lap counting, and how to train the standard so it never costs you. 
HYROX doubles strategy: splitting stations when you are not evenly matchedHow to divide every HYROX doubles station between two athletes of different strengths, how handovers work under the 2026/27 rules, and the split patterns that cost the least time. 
HYROX pacing strategy: run fade, the roxzone, and what the fast quartile does differentlyHYROX pacing strategy from the split data: how much the typical athlete's runs slow down, where the roxzone quietly eats six minutes, and which stations are worth attacking. 
HYROX race week: taper, sleep, logistics and arrivalWhat to do in the seven days before a HYROX: how much training to keep, how to plan sleep and travel, what to pack, and how to arrive at your wave ready rather than tired. 
Training for HYROX without a sled: substitutions that actually transferHow to train every HYROX station without a sled, SkiErg, rower or wall ball: load-equivalent substitutions, what each one does and does not replicate, and how to test whether the transfer worked.

HYROX after 40: what the masters data actually shows and what to changeAge-group finish times for HYROX masters athletes from 277,545 Open finishes: how much time each decade really costs, which stations slow down most, how to space sessions after 40, and what to change in a training block.
