Ebook · Race-Day Companion

You've done the training. Don't waste it on race day.

Most HYROX races aren't lost to fitness — they're lost in the first fifteen minutes: out too hard on run 1, redlined on the sleds, then standing over the ball at wall ball 40 with 60 reps to go. The HYROX Race-Day Playbook is the tactical companion for the race itself: the 24 hours before, race-morning fuelling, pacing for all 8 runs, a plan for every station, and the mental game — so the fitness you built actually shows up in your finish time.

Who it's for

Built your fitness with our free HYROX training plan generator? This is the other half: getting that fitness across the line.

🎯

The first-timer with race nerves

You don't know what you don't know. The playbook makes the unknown known — every hour planned, so nerves can't run your race.

⏱️

The repeat racer chasing a PB

Fitness isn't your problem — execution is. Reclaim the free minutes hiding in your pacing, your breaks and the RoxZone.

👥

The doubles or relay racer

Shared work changes the tactics. Splits, handovers, staying warm between legs — the adjustments that make a team fast.

A taste of the method

"HYROX is a running race with stations in the way — not a strength race with runs in the way. If run 1 doesn't feel almost boringly controlled, you're going too fast. Let the sprinters go: a huge share of the people who blow past you in the first 2km will come back to you — walking, hands on knees — around run 5. You don't win that moment in the moment. You win it in the first ten minutes, by starting slower than your ego wants."

Race the plan, not your adrenaline.

The strongest sled push in the building won't save a blown run 1. Walk onto the floor knowing exactly how hard to go on every run and every station — and finish passing people instead of being passed.

Questions

Is this a subscription?

No. It's a one-time €14 purchase. You get the PDF instantly and keep it forever — English and German versions included.

How is it different from the free plan generator?

The free HYROX training plan generator builds your weeks of training before the race. The playbook covers the race itself: the last 24 hours, pacing, station tactics, transitions and the mental plan. Train with the generator, execute with the playbook.

Do I need to be at a certain level?

No. All pacing is effort-based (RPE), so it works whether you're targeting 100 minutes or 70. There are dedicated notes for doubles and relay racers too.

Can I get a refund?

Because this is a digital product delivered instantly, all sales are final — once the knowledge is out, it can’t be returned. That’s why the full contents are listed above, so you know exactly what you’re getting. If anything is technically wrong with your download, email us and we’ll sort it immediately.

When should I read it?

Ideally one to two weeks out, so you can rehearse the warm-up, break plans and mantras in training. Then skim the printable checklist the night before. Race tomorrow? It still works — the pacing rules alone will save you minutes.
