Conversational Zone 2. Builds the aerobic base that decides roughly half of Hyrox — keep it genuinely easy.
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.
Running
Steady aerobic distance. Your weekly endurance anchor — run by feel, not pace.
Threshold pace — comfortably hard. Raises the pace you can sustain once the legs are tired.
VO2max work at 5k-10k effort. Lifts the ceiling your compromised race runs sit under.
Sharp speed at 3k-5k effort. Trains turnover and the ability to surge out of a station.
Lunges before each run rep so you practise the signature skill: running on pre-fatigued legs.
20 reps (after each run) ~35 min
30 reps (after each run) ~45 min
40 reps (after each run) ~52 min
Strength
Heavy back squat plus loaded lunges. The leg strength that turns the sled and wall balls from a wall into a station.
3×20 total
3 x 30 s plank ~40 min
3×24 total @20 kg
3 x 45 s plank + side ~50 min
4×24 total @24 kg
4 x 60 s loaded carry hold ~60 min
Posterior chain plus grip carries — directly arms the sled pull and farmers carry, the two stations that expose runners.
3×10
3 x 30 m ~40 min
3×8
4 x 40 m farmers @24 kg ~50 min
4×8
4 x 50 m farmers @32 kg ~60 min
Front squats paired with heavy sled pushes. Strength that transfers straight to the heaviest load of race day.
4 x 12.5 m @50 kg ~35 min
4 x 25 m @100 kg ~45 min
4 x 25 m @125 kg ~55 min
Squat, deadlift and core in one session. General strength base for runners with little lifting history.
3×6
3 rounds core circuit ~45 min
3×5
4 rounds core circuit ~55 min
3×4
5 rounds core circuit ~65 min
Station Work
Drill wall balls, burpees and lunges for clean reps. Standards (depth, full reps) are practised here, not on race day.
3 x 8
40 m @10 kg ~35 min
4 x 10
60 m @20 kg ~45 min
4 x 12
100 m @20 kg ~55 min
Push and pull intervals. Builds the specific leg and back endurance the two sleds demand.
4 x 12.5 m @40 kg ~30 min
5 x 25 m @75 kg ~42 min
6 x 25 m @100 kg ~50 min
High-volume wall balls and loaded lunges — the back-end of the race, where runners lose the most time.
4 x 20 m @10 kg ~30 min
4 x 25 m @20 kg ~40 min
4 x 25 m @30 kg ~48 min
Sled pull, farmers carry and dead hangs. Hardens the grip and upper back that fail first for pure runners.
4 x 50 m @32 kg
3 x dead hang 20 s ~30 min
4 x 100 m @48 kg
3 x dead hang 40 s ~40 min
4 x 100 m @48 kg
4 x dead hang 45 s ~48 min
SkiErg and row intervals. Upper-body conditioning your runs never build — train it directly.
4 x 250 m / 60 s ~28 min
5 x 500 m / 75 s ~38 min
6 x 500 m / 60 s ~46 min
Compromised Bricks
Run-sled-run-wall-balls without rest. The truest rehearsal of how Hyrox actually feels — pace the first run.
12.5 m @50 kg
400 m tempo
20 reps @4 kg ~18 min
25 m @100 kg
800 m tempo
35 reps @6 kg ~28 min
50 m @125 kg
1000 m tempo
50 reps @6 kg ~40 min
Alternating runs and wall balls. Teaches you to break the wall-ball set and keep moving on tired legs.
25 reps @4 kg ~25 min
50 reps @6 kg ~35 min
75 reps @6 kg ~45 min
Runs into loaded lunges. Rehearses the late-race quad burn that wrecks unprepared runners.
50 m @10 kg ~22 min
100 m @20 kg ~32 min
100 m @30 kg ~42 min
Descending runs with burpees between. Builds the transition fitness the Roxzone quietly eats.
10 after each run reps ~30 min
12 after each run reps ~40 min
15 after each run reps ~48 min
Race-pace run straight into the ergs. Trains the transition that runners overlook — the clock never stops in the Roxzone.
250 m
250 m ~24 min
500 m
500 m ~34 min
1000 m
1000 m ~44 min
Race Simulations
Four runs and four stations at race effort. A manageable test of pacing and transitions before a full sim.
1000 m
25 m @75 kg
40 m
50 reps @4 kg ~40 min
1000 m
50 m @102 kg
80 m

1000 m
50 m @125 kg
80 m
100 reps @6 kg ~55 min
The complete 8-run, 8-station race. The community's number-one readiness check — nothing predicts your time better.
All six loaded stations back to back, no runs. Stress-tests grip, legs and standards under accumulated fatigue.

25 m @50 kg
100 m @32 kg
50 m @10 kg

Accessory & Recovery
Loaded carries and core circuit. Cheap insurance against the grip and bracing failures that cost late-race time.
3 rounds: plank, dead bug, hollow ~25 min
4 rounds core ~30 min
5 rounds weighted core ~35 min
Very easy run and a mobility flow. Active recovery — you adapt on the easy days, not the hard ones.

20 min mobility flow ~35 min
20 min mobility flow ~40 min
