New to Hyrox: Please help a non runner

I started Hyrox training last month in prep for my first race- Hyrox NYC solo race on June 1st.

I completed my first Hyrox full race simulation at a local F45 Studio yesterday (where I’m doing my Hyrox classes 2x a week).

I did the sim as a double for practice and it took us 2 hours. I’m sure we would have finished faster if I could have kept up with my partner’s running pace.

I could only jog the first three runs and then I did speed walk/jog intervals.

I’m wondering if anyone has any advice on improving with the runs/jogs in just 7 weeks.

It appears a Couch to 5K program may be too slow of a training plan for me at this point. However, I don’t want to go too fast and injure myself. I have a history of getting shin splits with running (but that was 20 years ago in high school when I did rowing).

My first run practice was a week ago: I went to a local track and did 3 intervals of .6 miles runs, with about .15 mile walks in between (see picture). My “runs” (aka jogs) took about 9 min 30 secs. (The last interval was me walking home from the track as a cool down for about 3/4 of a mile)

I’m wondering if I should just keep doing these type of intervals while increasing them each run to build my run capacity to 8 intervals of 1000m.

Thoughts?

FYI: My ultimate goal is just to finish my first Hyrox, but I would love to complete my solo race in 2 hours.

Hyrox Rotterdam Map + Race Strategy

yoo. who’s racing rotterdam this week? the map is wild, so figure I’d share some extra details and maybe if anybody that’s a mario kart expert can help with race strategy. 🙃

here’s what I’m seeing:

- more u-turns than you’d expect and the stations aren’t in numerical order, so don’t assume you know where you’re going.

- the lap rules for singles & doubles: enter the IN arch the third time you see it. every single run.

- lap rules for relay: relay run 1 — enter the IN arch the third time you see it / relay runs 2-8 — enter the IN arch the second time you see it.

- 2 min penalty for running too little

- to save time, plan to have water after your stations, because they’re not in the best position for most stations when you enter the rox zone.

- the average roxzone running distance is like 600-700m, but this one seems crazy.

- still unclear the path to get to wall balls quickly.

feel like there’s gonna be a bunch of people running in all sorts of directions.

Completed 2nd Hyrox solo - Open category

Did Hyrox Bengaluru yesterday in the Open women’s category and I couldn’t be happier with my progress in this one.

My rankings in first Hyrox last year in July in Delhi compared to the one yesterday in Bengaluru:

Overall rank in women’s category:

Hyrox Delhi: 179/226

Hyrox Bengaluru: 178/600

AG rank (25-29):

Hyrox Delhi: 45/50

Hyrox Bengaluru: 43/148

Honestly, it is super intimidating to see sub-70/80/90 timings but to be able to recover from multiple health issues (typhoid, gallstones surgery, dic bulge, dengue and severe diarrhoea - all in last 3 years) and get back into fitness, this is a huge achievement for me. Only onwards and upwards from here. Attaching my workout splits.

Fitness Lethargy

I’m 3 weeks away from another Hyrox event & I feel so drained & lethargic. I’m training 4/5 times a week 2 hours each time, mix of cardio, strength & Hyrox station movements. I’m consuming 3k calories daily & drinking plenty of fluids & electrolytes… am I overtraining… can I start a 3 week taper to make me feel better?

Low Stim/Nootropic in USA

Looking for a good low stim or even no stim nootropic to use to keep my focus during Hyrox training. My current pre-workouts have 250-300mg caffeine and after about 2 miles I either get a good sized uncomfortable gas bubble or sometimes even more 😉. Not a fan of working out on coffee or cold brews it just doesn’t sit well. But need something especially on the harder work days. Thoughts? Also hoping to find something that used stevia or similar, not sucralose which seems to have monopolized the market a bit.

Hyrox Customer Service

Does anyone have insight on reaching someone at customer service? I’m based in the U.S. and set to compete May 14 in Canada, but long story short my Women’s Doubles partner doesn’t seem fully committed and I’ve tried for a week now to get ahold of someone. I’m able to log in, but there’s nothing under “My Orders” but already have my QR code ticket stored in my AppleWallet. It’s pretty strange.

I’m about to lose the 31-Day full refund option and gone so far as DMing Hyrox Canada on IG, using the customer service link, and emailing both HyroxUSA and HyroxCanada. I’ve received a response via email, and it just sends me back to the original online link. I’m at a loss as my plane ticket is non- refundable would hate to come all the way to Ottawa for nothing. Hopefully someone can help!

Running Shoes

Those of you that have these, what's your take on them for HYROX, doing stations, grip?

Nike Zoom Fly 6

Puma Deviate NITRO Elite 4 (not HYROX)

Saucony Endorphin Pro 5

I know HYROX specific from Puma are great but unfortunately they do not have them in stock in my size 14 and haven't for a while therefore looking for other options.

When or where can I find my starting time?

I bought Double Mixed tickets for the 29th, I don’t know what time on the day am I supposed to compete , there’s no information on the website when I login.

The eticket for the Apple Wallet says Entry Info 5:30 AM , is that when the venue opens that day or my starting time? Do I have to wait until closer to the date to get the actual start time?
