HYROX WOD Library

Every session in our HYROX plans, on its own and scaled for three levels. Each WOD shows its sequence, an estimated time, and — for station work — the official race-day standard it builds toward.

Free, no sign-up. These WODs build toward race day — get your finish-time estimate and target per-km run paces: Open the HYROX time calculator →

Scaled for

Running

Easy Aerobic Run

~35 min ~45 min ~48 min

Conversational Zone 2. Builds the aerobic base that decides roughly half of Hyrox — keep it genuinely easy.

  1. Easy Run (Zone 2) 5 km 7 km 8 km

Long Run

~55 min ~75 min ~90 min

Steady aerobic distance. Your weekly endurance anchor — run by feel, not pace.

  1. Easy Run (Zone 2) 8 km 12 km 16 km

Tempo Intervals

~35 min ~45 min ~50 min

  1. Tempo Run 2 x 8 min tempo 3 x 10 min tempo 4 x 10 min tempo

1 km Intervals

~35 min ~45 min ~52 min

VO2max work at 5k-10k effort. Lifts the ceiling your compromised race runs sit under.

400 m Repeats

~30 min ~38 min ~45 min

Lunge-to-Run Set

~35 min ~45 min ~52 min

Lunges before each run rep so you practise the signature skill: running on pre-fatigued legs.

  1. Compromised Run 4 x 600 m tempo 5 x 800 m tempo 6 x 1000 m tempo
  2. Walking Lunge 20 reps (after each run) 30 reps (after each run) 40 reps (after each run)
