About this episode

This one is spicy 🔥 In today’s episode, we’re taking on a 45-minute HYROX-inspired run designed to build strength, speed, and serious endurance, even if you’re not training for HYROX. This is a threshold-focused workout with layered intervals that challenge your ability to: * Hold a strong, “comfortably hard” pace * Shift gears under fatigue * Recover quickly and get back to work You’ll move through a structured warm-up, a dynamic main set packed with challenging, hard, and very hard efforts, and finish with a final push that simulates that race-day grind. Along the way, I’ll coach you through: * What threshold pace actually feels like (and why it matters) * How to pace using effort vs. numbers * Form cues to stay efficient as fatigue builds * And how this style of training translates to both HYROX racing and endurance performance
