Block 1: 4 Week Building Phase -build running base, acclimate to 4 days per week of running -maintenance work with strength; more specific practice with obstacles & muscle endurance development -build exposure to race pace running in isolation (control total volume, extend set lengths: density) -build W prime on Ergs (severe intensity domain activity)
Block 2: 4 Week Sport Specific Phase -begin practicing front half obstacle work with running -increase volume of race pace running -increase total weekly running volume (peaking towards end of block)
Transition Week: -pull volume back while exposing him to new layout -test simulation at race pace (~60% of total volume) to see how he handles it
Block 3: 5 Week Pre-Competition Phase -Control total running volume (prioritize exposure to race pace running) -Include faster than race pace running with ergs & obstacles -Race specific session on Saturday’s -Watch eccentric loading with resistance training (leveraging clusters) -Race Simulation 1 week out at ~75% of race volume

This isn’t just another Hyrox plan. It’s a blueprint for showing up on race day with clarity, confidence. If you’re ready to train with intention, push with purpose, and finally compete at the level you know you’re capable of this is your next step.

João R.
38, business owner
Verified Athlete""I thought I was already training hard, but this program showed me the difference between working hard and working with purpose. I learned how to pace properly and manage fatigue. For the first time, I finished a race simulation feeling in control instead of getting swallowed by the workout.""
Marta S.
34, mother & recreational athlete
Verified Athlete""What surprised me most was the structure. I never felt lost or overwhelmed. Every week had a clear intention. I increased my running volume without aches, and the ergs stopped crushing me. I’m faster, more consistent, and more importantlyI feel confident.""
Ricardo P.
41, team manager
Verified Athlete""I used to get injured halfway through every prep. This time was different. The way intensity is distributed and how each block progresses kept me healthy and progressing. By the end of Block 3 I was faster, stronger, and not dragging that constant fatigue I used to think was normal.""
Leonor M.
29, Hyrox competitor
Verified Athlete""This program exposed my real weaknesses. It wasn’t strength… it was holding race pace between obstacles. The specific sessions and the simulations completely changed that. I went into the event knowing exactly what to expect. I actually felt prepared.""
