Treadmill HYROX Compromised Run Intervals, a treadmill HYROX workout

Treadmill HYROX Compromised Run Intervals

The compromised run, rehearsed indoors: a fixed-pace treadmill kilometre, straight into a station movement beside the machine, six times over. It trains the exact transition from a running heart rate to a squatting heart rate that decides a HYROX result.

Coaching notes

  • Locking the speed is the whole session. The moment you are allowed to slow down, the compromised-running stimulus disappears.
  • Set the pace at your realistic race pace, not your 5km pace. This session should be hard by round 4 and ugly by round 6.
  • Keep the station work right next to the machine. A 30-second walk to the rig changes the physiology you are training.

Questions people ask

How do I scale this?
Sets, reps and rest are written for a intermediate athlete. Scale the load first and the rest second. If the movement falls apart, drop the weight before you add rest.
Where does this fit in a plan?
One session is a session. Sequence it into a week built around your race date and your weakest station on the training plan, or let the generator write one in the same format around your kit and time.
