A 12-week plan for athletes with a HYROX or two behind them who want a faster time. Five sessions a week: strength, a run session, compromised running, a HYROX session and a long run that builds to 80 minutes. Half race sims in weeks 5 and 7 and a full race sim at race effort in week 9, recovery weeks at 4 and 8, and a two-week taper. A threshold test in week 1 sets your run paces. Station weights are left for you to fill in for your division.

How it works in The Next Race

Add it to your calendar

Pick a start date, or pick your race date and the plan lines up behind it. You get your own copy, so you can move, edit or delete any session.

Set your zones

The test sessions set your training zones, so the targets fit your current fitness rather than someone else's.

Train with your devices

Workouts sync to Garmin and Wahoo, completed activities come back from Garmin, Strava and Polar, and indoor rides can run on a smart trainer.
