Treadmill-Only HYROX Workout
Eight 1km-equivalent efforts compressed onto a treadmill, with the belt holding the pace so you cannot cheat the back half. It is the simplest way to rehearse HYROX run splits when you have 30 minutes and one machine.

Coaching notes
- Always set 1% incline. A flat belt flatters your pace by roughly 10 to 15 seconds per kilometre at race speeds.
- The treadmill's real advantage is that it will not let you slow down. Use it for the sessions where you know you fade.
- If you race indoors on a hard floor, treadmill running is closer to race conditions than a soft trail.
