    How to Build a Running program for HYROX

    How to Build a Running program for HYROX

    Running is the glue that holds your HYROX together. In this solo episode, I break down exactly how to build race-ready speed and durability with a smarter process: the right mix of threshold work, one weekly compromised run, efficient mechanics, plyometrics, and mobility that actually keeps you moving well on race day.


    Grab the free HYROX Running Guide + sample week in the show notes. It’s the blueprint for our new Run 2.0 inside the RMR Training app. Share this with a teammate who needs faster runs and cleaner stations.


    What you’ll learn:

    Why “just running more” isn’t enough for HYROX

    How to pair a run-only quality with a compromised run each week

    The underrated strength that runners skip (calves, knees, deep squats)

    Efficiency boosters: strides, plyos, hip extension, backward walking

    Mobility for the lumbar–pelvic–rib cage system so your form holds under fatigue

    If this helps, drop a rating/review and send it to a friend. See you at Dallas/Chicago—let’s go.

    03:10 The “bread recipe” of running: process ingredients

    10:25 Runner-specific strength that prevents breakdown (calves, deep squats, knee flexion)

    18:40 Compromised running vs. pure run workouts—how to structure both

    27:55 Efficiency & mobility stack: strides, plyometrics, hip extension, backward walking
