Strength training & triathlon - Is HYROX the answer?

  • Resumen

  • If you struggle to find a reason to insert regular strength work into your training plan, maybe the motivation from entering a HYROX event will help. HYROX is a relative newcomer to the mix of indoor events combining strength and endurance. At first glance you might think it’s similar to CrossFit, but actually it's quite different. To help you and me to understand what HYROX is all about, I have 2 guests to help. Andy Sloan is a 39 year old former triathlete who competed twice at the IM World Champs in Hawaii, and he's recently started racing in HYROX events in the Pro division and regularly finishing in the top 10 at international events. Mel Varvel is a 53 year old female former triathlete who took part in her first HYROX event at the end of 2023. She competed in the doubles category with her racing partner Ron, and is currently preparing for her first solo event in London later this year. Mel is also a staff member for our nutrition/hydration partners at Precision Fuel and Hydration. Mel and Andy give us a full run down about HYROX so that you’ll have all you need to decide whether to try your hand in that world. Topics covered include: Background on their respective triathlon historyAn outline of a HYROX event and the various disciplines, and how it differs from CrossfitWhether it's possible to combine training for HYROX and triathlon at the same timeA normal training week for HYROX preparationDo you need to join a HYROX gym?
